Air France has named the 17 chefs they'll be working with this year, and one of them is Montreal based Oliver Perret.
Perret will oversee menus on flights departing from Air France's destinations in Canada (Montreal, Toronto, Quebec and Vancouver). He will focus on offering French gastronomy with fresh ingredients for menus in the Business cabin. Originally from Burgundy, the chef also presides at the restaurant Le Renoir and La Carre Dore at the Sofitel Golden Mile.
TravelPulse Canada met Perret back in June in Montreal at the opening of Sofitel's patio for the season (Le Renoir) and later strolled through the city's famed Marche Jean-Talon market with the chef where he explained the importance of using the freshest ingredients.
The 17 talented chefs promoting French excellence will take turns to sign exceptional dishes in La Première and Business and in airport lounges over the coming months. As the only airline to partner with so many distinguished names in the world of cuisine, Air France is reasserting more than ever its role as ambassador of French fine dining around the world.
The company is committed to introducing its customers to the quality and diversity of France's gastronomic heritage, as part of an increasingly responsible approach, by focusing on fresh, seasonal and local produce and a systematic choice of vegetarian dish in all travel cabins.
Air France designs these menus with the help of some of the most prestigious chefs with the expertise of its catering partner, Servair, a global leader in in-flight dining and its culinary Studio.
