Passengers can choose between roasted chicken breast with chicken jus, artichoke-filled pasta with tomato cream sauce, and more. They are presented with a Paris-Brest with praline cream and almonds for dessert.

Additionally, from July to August, Delta One customers can choose between two limited selections from Chef Guy Martin, the head chef of Le Grand Véfour restaurant in Paris, which has been awarded three Michelin stars, the highest amount possible. Chef Martin is a self-taught prodigy and highly decorated in France. He is the author of numerous cookbooks and hosts a television show, Épicerie Fine.

Passengers can savor the flavors of Chef Martin’s slow-cooked lamb shoulder in a rosemary sauce with summer vegetables or haddock served with tarragon polenta, asparagus, and buttered peas in shellfish sauce.

More dining options than ever before

Delta has gone all out with its new summer menu, partnering with renowned chefs from every continent to serve authentic dishes that suit the route. Kristen Manion Taylor, Delta’s Senior Vice President of In-Flight Service, says it’s all by design:

“Our onboard food and beverage service is an integral part of the customer journey. We know customers crave variety along with a taste of the familiar—that’s why our goal with every seasonal menu refresh is to balance new flavors with reimagined classics, all while maintaining our high standards of quality.”

Delta Premium Select customers can now opt to pre-select their meals before traveling, which allows premium customers to have an unparalleled selection of dining options.

Delta has partnered with chef Jereme Leung, known for combining international elements with traditional Chinese cuisine, to introduce Delta One customers to a unique Asian fine dining experience. Passengers flying on the following routes will have the chance to sample Chef Leung’s cuisine:

  • Seattle to Taipei
  • Seattle to Shanghai Pudong
  • Detroit to Shanghai Pudong

International passengers aren’t the only ones being treated. Passengers flying domestically have plenty of options, too. For example, domestic first class passengers departing from Atlanta can taste award-winning chef Mashama Bailey’s southern dishes, like the Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q’s short rib open-faced sandwich and much more.

For Delta One customers flying from JFK to LAX or SFO, Danny Meyer’s Union Square Events serves dishes such as pastrami short rib with BBQ jus and chicken scarpariello with roasted lemon.

The menu also includes new snack options and health-focused wellness meals. Like always, the airline’s award-winning rotating wine menu features a host of specially curated wines worldwide.
