Encouraged by the success of these partnerships, we’ve teamed up with Hong Kong’s JIA Group once again, this time with acclaimed French restaurant, Louise . Known for its fresh take on traditional French cuisine, the popular restaurant opened its doors in PMQ’s idyllic gardens in 2019. Housed in a breathtaking two-storied heritage-listed house, the restaurant earned itself a Michelin star shortly after opening and has been a leading establishment in Hong Kong’s fine dining scene ever since. Together with the restaurant, we’ve created our most elevated inflight dining offering yet: a range of classic French dishes with a twist. The menu will be available for First class and Business cabin passengers on selected long-haul flights departing from Hong Kong starting this month.
“Our partnership with JIA began with the Duddell’s collaboration, and we were impressed by the team’s impeccable quality, enthusiasm and professionalism. We’re thrilled to be working with Louise to create a bespoke menu of reimagined French classics that showcase the craftsmanship and ingenuity of Cathay Pacific and Louise,” says Vivian Lo, General Manager Customer Experience and Design at Cathay Pacific.
For the Louise team, working on these dishes was an exciting new challenge. It was something they had never done before. Their biggest challenge? Execution. Preparing inflight meals is completely different from cooking in a restaurant. But by keeping it simple and delicious, the team successfully created a range of traditional French dishes with a modern twist.
