How much notice do you need for private jet catering at São Pedro?

For standard menus we ask for as much notice as your schedule permits, though we handle short-notice requests regularly. Kosher meals require a minimum of 24 hours to ensure correct preparation and certification.

Can you source fresh local produce from São Vicente?

Yes. We work with local suppliers on the island to bring fresh fish, tropical fruit and artisan products aboard. Availability is subject to what the island's markets hold on any given day, and we confirm specifics at order stage.

Which handler do you deliver to at the airport?

We deliver to CV Handling, coordinating stand access and timing directly with their team so that catering arrives galley-ready at the agreed boarding time.

Do you cater for dietary requirements?

Fully. Our kitchen produces vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, halal and low-sodium menus as standard. Kosher catering is available with 24 hours' notice. Please specify requirements at the time of ordering.

Yes. We can co-ordinate catering uplifts across connected sectors — including airports on other islands — through the same single point of contact, keeping the administrative process straightforward for crew and flight departments.

Our operation runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The runway at VXE is lit for night operations, and we align our delivery schedule to your actual departure time regardless of the hour.

Private jet menu for São Pedro

A short, working selection — not the full carte. This is what the kitchen boards most often for a São Pedro departure: classics that travel, plated for cabin altitude, sourced the same morning.

The Altitude Dining kitchenCape Verde

To start

Tuna Escabeche on Cornbread Crostini

Atlantic yellowfin marinated in white-wine vinegar, bay and sweet pepper, served at cabin temperature on thin slices of toasted broa — a compact, flavour-forward start that carries the island's Portuguese-African lineage without translation.

To start

Grilled Limpets with Garlic-Herb Butter

São Vicente limpets brushed with compound butter of garlic, flat-leaf parsley and lemon zest, finished under a high grill and packed in a galley-ready portion tray. Simple, honest and distinctly of the Atlantic.

Hot main

Cachupa Rica — Refined Galley Portion

Cape Verde's slow-cooked stew of hominy, red beans, sweet potato and chouriço, built the previous evening and portioned into vacuum-sealed trays for clean reheating. The base is rich and smoky; a spoon of sofrito stirred through at service lifts it.

Cold main

Chilled Wahoo Fillet with Papaya and Lime Dressing

Line-caught wahoo poached gently in a court-bouillon, chilled and sliced, then dressed with ripe papaya, fresh lime and a thread of extra-virgin olive oil. Light enough for mid-flight, substantial enough to satisfy.

Pâtisserie

Pastel de Nata — São Vicente Style

Individual custard tarts baked in a laminated lard-and-butter pastry shell, the custard set with a touch of vanilla and cinnamon. Packaged in ventilated boxes to preserve the shell's snap during transit.

To finish

Tropical Fruit Plate with Coconut Cream

Mango, papaya, pineapple and passion fruit segmented and arranged cold, accompanied by a small pot of lightly sweetened coconut cream. A clean close to any meal at altitude over the Atlantic.

Inflight Catering · São Pedro

Private aviation catering at VXE

São Vicente has long been Cape Verde's cultural heartland — the island that gave the archipelago its mornas, its open-air markets and its particular way of turning simple Atlantic ingredients into something worth remembering. Flying in or out of GVSV, passengers are within reach of grilled wahoo pulled from waters that are genuinely local, of queijo de cabra ripened in volcanic air, and of the dense, dark cane-spirit ponche that the island produces with unhurried confidence. For Altitude Dining, this geography is an asset rather than a constraint. Our sourcing team works with São Vicente suppliers to bring the island's freshest catch, tropical fruits and hand-pressed grogs aboard before departure — so the aircraft galley becomes a credible extension of the island rather than a denial of it. São Pedro private jet catering, done properly, should taste of the place.

Regional Catering Menu · São Pedro

São Pedro inflight catering

Cape Verdean cooking is a maritime creole tradition: Portuguese salt-cod techniques married to West African stewing methods, brightened by the citrus and chilli that grow wherever water permits. Cachupa — the slow-cooked grain-and-legume stew that functions as the archipelago's national dish — translates beautifully into a refined galley portion when the base is built the night before and finished to order. Grilled limpets with garlic butter, tuna escabeche and caldo de peixe all carry the same honest depth. Beyond the local canon, our kitchen produces a full international repertoire: Japanese-inflected cold platters, European charcuterie selections, dietary-specific menus for vegan, gluten-free and halal requirements, and kosher meals with the 24-hour lead time that correct preparation demands. Aircraft catering from São Pedro need not be limited by the island's remoteness — our network ensures that what cannot be sourced locally arrives in condition via our logistics chain.
