The chef's menu at CBQ

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenNigeria

To start
Afang-Spiced Crab Cakes
Picked Atlantic blue crab bound with a light afang leaf paste, pan-seared to order and served with a chilled pepper-lime crème fraîche.
Cold main
Suya Beef Tataki with Tamarind Slaw
Thin-sliced suya-seasoned beef, briefly seared and rested, paired with a julienne of green papaya and red onion in a tamarind dressing.
Hot main
Slow-Braised Oxtail with Uziza and Yam Fondant
Cross River-style oxtail cooked low and long with uziza leaf and aromatic spices, plated over a butter-basted yam fondant.
Morning
Plantain and Scotch-Bonnet Frittata
Ripe plantain folded into a lightly spiced egg set, finished in the oven and cut into clean portions — a composed morning option that travels without loss of texture.
Pâtisserie
Chin-Chin and Coconut Shortbread
House-made chin-chin alongside coconut-milk shortbread fingers — a nod to the street-food counters of Calabar, recalibrated for a premium cabin.
To finish
Bitter-Kola Dark Chocolate Ganache
A single square of 70% chocolate ganache infused with bitter kola extract, served on a slate tile with a dried hibiscus garnish.

Inflight Catering · Calabar

Calabar private jet catering

Calabar sits at the edge of the Cross River, a city whose food culture runs deep — smoked fish from the estuary, edikaikong built from fresh waterleaf and pumpkin leaves, and the slow-cooked richness of afang soup. These are not background flavours; they are the reason Calabar remains one of southern Nigeria's most distinctive culinary addresses. For passengers seeking an authentic sense of place before departure, our kitchen draws directly on this tradition. The surrounding region — from the oil-city energy of Port Harcourt to the equatorial Atlantic coast shared with Malabo — creates a corridor of West and Central African produce that rarely appears on conventional inflight menus. Altitude Dining treats that geography as an asset, sourcing accordingly and building dishes that speak to where the aircraft is actually leaving from.

Regional Catering Menu · Calabar

Inflight catering menu for Calabar

Our Calabar catering menus are anchored in protein prepared with care: grilled tilapia glazed with a scotch-bonnet reduction, slow-braised oxtail finished with uziza leaf, and spiced suya-style beef skewers served cool with a tamarind-pickled slaw. These travel well, plate cleanly in a galley environment, and give passengers something they are unlikely to find replicated over the Atlantic. For those who prefer a more international profile, our chefs compose the same standard of continental and pan-Asian dishes available across Altitude Dining's wider network. Morning departures from DNCA receive particular attention. Puff-puff, chin-chin, and plantain bites alongside house-baked breads give a send-off that is unmistakably local — without compromising the presentation standards expected in a premium cabin. Kosher requirements are accommodated with a minimum of 24 hours' notice; all other dietary specifications are handled as standard at the point of order.
