Exclusive Menus with French Identity and Global Vision
The partnership will initially debut in First and Business Class cabins, later extending to select lounges. The menus designed by Alléno celebrate the French art de vivre, blending modern techniques, locally sourced ingredients, and fermentation as key elements.
Among the standout experiences are:
Pavyllon in Doha: Elite Dining at the Airport
In the First Class VIP lounge at Hamad International Airport in Doha, a Pavyllon restaurant will open, featuring the chef’s signature “gastronomic counter” concept—an open kitchen where guests can watch their meals being prepared.
Unique Flavors in Paris
Passengers visiting Qatar Airways’ VIP lounges at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport will enjoy exclusive creations by Alléno, taking the gourmet experience to new heights before boarding.
Haute Cuisine Onboard
New menus for select flights between Paris and Doha will allow First and Business Class travelers to discover the chef’s contemporary interpretation of French cuisine, marked by technique, respect for ingredients, and a unique culinary narrative.
A Transformative Experience in the Skies
Each dish will serve as a vehicle for storytelling, where flavor and technique intertwine to offer more than just a meal—a complete cultural experience. With this initiative, Qatar Airways reinforces its mission to elevate the art of living at 10,000 meters.
Through this partnership, the airline reaffirms its leadership in hospitality and once again redefines what it means to dine well in the sky. Because at Qatar Airways, flying also means savoring excellence.
