The chef's menu at MDK

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenDemocratic Republic of the Congo

To start
Congo River Fish Rillettes
Flaked freshwater fish slow-cooked with palm oil, ginger and a whisper of scotch bonnet, set in a light natural jelly and served with thin cassava crisps.
Cold main
Chilled Prawn and Plantain Salad
Poached tiger prawns with sliced green plantain, shaved fennel, a lime and coriander dressing and toasted groundnuts — a cold plate that travels well and arrives composed.
Hot main
Braised River Perch with Smoked Palm Butter
A thick fillet of freshwater perch braised until just yielding, finished with a smoked palm-oil butter sauce and accompanied by wilted moringa greens and steamed white rice.
Morning
Plantain and Groundnut Porridge
A warming morning bowl of ripe plantain simmered with roasted groundnut paste and a touch of cinnamon, topped with fresh mango and a drizzle of raw honey.
Pâtisserie
Cassava and Coconut Financiers
Petit fours-sized financiers made with cassava flour and desiccated coconut, browned in clarified butter for a crisp shell and a moist, lightly sweet crumb.
To finish
Dark Chocolate and Passion Fruit Tart
A thin-shelled dark chocolate tart filled with a sharp passion fruit curd, finished with a dusting of cocoa and a single crystallised violet — clean, balanced and unmistakably considered.

Inflight Catering · Mbandaka

Mbandaka private jet catering

Mbandaka sits at the heart of Équateur Province, one of the most ecologically distinct corners of central Africa, where the Congo River and its tributaries define both geography and daily life. The surrounding region produces exceptional freshwater fish, plantain, cassava and tropical fruit — ingredients that, when sourced with care, bring genuine local character to an inflight menu. For operations staging through this part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mbandaka also serves as a practical waypoint for aircraft moving between Kinshasa to the south and the northern airstrips of Gemena and Gbadolite. Our network reaches all of these destinations, ensuring continuity of catering provision across the wider regional itinerary.

Regional Catering Menu · Mbandaka

Inflight catering menu for Mbandaka

The Congo Basin larder lends itself to menus that are both rooted and refined. Slow-braised river fish with smoked palm oil and wilted greens, plantain prepared as a silky purée or caramelised accompaniment, and cassava-based breads offer passengers an honest sense of place without sacrificing the presentation standards demanded in a private cabin. Where a client's preference runs to international cuisine — a composed French-style cold plate, a lean protein with Mediterranean accompaniments, or a structured pâtisserie selection — our kitchen team works to the same exacting brief. Kosher catering is available with a minimum of twenty-four hours' advance notice. Every item is packed galley-ready, labelled by course, and chilled to travel-safe temperatures before dispatch.
