Air France has just revealed the chefs it will work to develop its menus in 2023.
There will be 17 great chefs who will work to develop the menus served in Première, Business and in the airport lounges reserved for premium travelers of the French company. Air France unveiled the list at the Bocuse d’Or.
Departing from Paris, this year the long-haul La Première and Business cabins will feature menus created exclusively for Air France by French starred chefs Arnaud Lallement, Régis Marcon, Anne-Sophie Pic, Emmanuel Renaut and Michel Roth. For the first time, Mauro Colagreco and Thierry Marx will complete the list.
In the La Première suites, the most exclusive of the company, the MOF pastry chefs Philippe Urraca and, for the first time, Angelo Musa will bring a sweet and elegant touch to the menus of this cabin worthy of the greatest restaurants.
Prestigious names of the airports: Julien Royer, Jofrane Dailly, Olivier Perret
Air France is also renewing its menus designed by great French chefs departing from the airports of its long-haul network. The company thus continues the collaboration with the three-star chef Julien Royer in the La Première and Business cabins departing from Singapore. Originally from Auvergne, Julien Royer runs the Odette and Claudine restaurants in the city-state.
On departure from Reunion, in the Business cabin, the menus are designed by Jofrane Dailly, a Reunion chef who works in the kitchens of the Diana Dea Lodge in Sainte-Anne.
In 2023, Air France will also offer chef Olivier Perret’s signature menus from all its Canadian airports (Montreal, Toronto, Quebec and Vancouver). This will apply to offer French gastronomy made up of fresh ingredients for the Business cabin menus. Originally from Burgundy, the chef is also found at the Le Renoir restaurant at the Sofitel Montreal Le Carré Doré hotel. Air France intends to continue the development of these prestigious brands, in particular from the French Antilles, the United States and Japan.
On the medium-haul network, in the Business cabin, the Servair corporate chef François Adamski, MOF and Bocuse d’Or, signs the lunch or dinner served on board all year round.

In addition, Air France collaborates with many chefs in its Paris airport lounges. At Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Alain Ducasse and his teams designed the lounge menu of Air France La Première.
In the other lounges located in terminal 2 E (halls K, L and M), Ducasse Paris regularly unveils new dishes for you to discover from the entire range available. In the lounge located in terminal 2 F, François Adamski joins forces with talented chefs to sign original and seasonal menus. After Chloé Charles, Amandine Chaignot will put her talent at the service of the company’s clients.
At Paris-Orly, it is Guy Martin, accustomed to signing the menus served on board Air France flights, who for the first time signs a dish to be discovered in the Orly 3 international lounge.
Finally, in the short-haul lounge at Orly 2, customers will be able to savor cream puffs created by pastry chef Philippe Urraca.
