This is one of the attractions on every Emirates flight. The delicious dishes are prepared by chefs with a local touch at each specific destination. For example, if you are flying to Japan, Emirates will be pleased to serve Kaiseki cuisine or Bento lunch boxes, along with Japanese cutlery and tea sets - all to bring a culinary experience that is unique to any other flight.

Recently, after 14 months of working with Australian chefs, the chefs also launched a new menu for Australian routes, inspired by the country’s multicultural cuisine and flavors. The new menu features a range of traditional local favorites, including minted lamb sausages. Reflecting Australia’s multicultural character, the menu also includes Asian and Middle Eastern flavors and ingredients, catering to the diverse tastes of Emirates passengers on international routes.
The diversity of delicacies served on each route is evident in the bread selection. Specifically, while flavored breads or breads made from yeast dough are popular on routes to Europe, Parathas, Poori and Naan bread will be served on all 9 Emirates routes to India. Meanwhile, passengers on flights to the Middle East will enjoy typical Arabic flavors such as Markook - unleavened bread rolled very thinly, or Manakesh bread served with Zaatar spices or cheese.

To keep up with regional and seasonal culinary trends, chefs change menus monthly and regularly review and evaluate their recipes. Premium beverages are also a priority on every flight, with fine champagnes and wines on offer. Wines on each route are carefully selected to complement the dishes served, such as the 2005 Dom Pérignon Rosé or the 1963 Graham's Colheita Port.
Coffee and tea are the two most popular beverages on board. Emirates has been serving Dilmah tea for 25 years, with over 9.6 million tea bags consumed each year, including the Emirates Signature tea blend, which is specially created for First Class passengers. Meanwhile, Illy and Nespresso coffee are served in premium cabins, where espresso and cappuccino are often requested by busy passengers.
Emirates also offers children's meals and special menus for health and religious requirements, developed by nutritionists and chefs. It also offers seasonal menus for local areas, such as the Christmas menu in December or special meals for fasting passengers during Ramadan.
It is known that with more than 100 million quality meals each year across all three flight classes - First Class, Business Class and Economy Class, Emirates has served more than 55 million diners traveling between 144 cities across 6 continents.
