Air Canada has upgraded its award-winning menus across all classes of service, with more than 100 new rotating seasonal recipes that showcase bigger, bolder flavors, as well as new snacks and beverages. The airline also features the largest in-flight bar offering from any North American airline and is the only one to offer hot, fresh kids’ meals to purchase.
The airline’s culinary program spotlights its culinary partners Chef David Hawksworth, Chef Vikram Vij, and Chef Jérôme Ferrer—who focus on flavors, textures and fresh, quality ingredients that sing at cruising altitude. Food is complemented by wine selections from award-winning sommelier Véronique Rivest.
For International Economy travelers, options include red Thai chicken and rice or chicken cacciatore with roast potatoes and bell peppers. On longer flights that serve a hot breakfast, a new pancake features 100% pure Canadian maple syrup. On flights from Europe, travelers will enjoy new Monty’s Bakehouse savory pastries, including coconut chicken and potato sour cream and chive. These refreshed recipes also add to regional appetizers like soba noodles, chaat, hummus, and vegetables.
Air Canada’s upgraded Bistro menu boasts an extensive selection of fresh buy-on-board options, with a hearty peppercorn roast beef sandwich, tasty cheeseburger sliders, and fresh new vegan options like Mediterranean hummus wraps. This is alongside a selection of alcoholic beverages such as the Canadian-owned Tequila Tromba.
International travelers in Air Canada Signature Class can enjoy succulent chicken thigh accompanied by mandi rice and Emirati bzar sauce, roasted salmon in teriyaki sauce with Shandong noodles, and a Middle Eastern mezze plate appetizer, with more to come through spring 2024.
In the airline’s lounges, guests can expect an array of fresh homegrown ingredients, including wild-caught Fogo Island cod, which returns to the Air Canada Signature Suite at Toronto Pearson International Airport.
Snacks Getting an Upgrade
New nibbles have also arrived on all flights, including sweet, salty, and protein-packed options and some Canadian favorites. Buttery Herb and Garlic craft pretzels by TWIGZ from Alberta, are now complimentary in all cabins on North America flights shorter than two hours and economy cabins on international flights. Plus, there’s Sweet Sixteen original candy mix from Quebec, a protein top-up from Chomps grass-fed beef jerky, and rich Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Squares with a luscious sea salt caramel filling. These join fan favorites like Kit Kat, Miss Vickie’s, and MadeGood.
