The chef's menu at KSY

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenTurkey

To start
Kars Gravyer and Highland Honey Board
Cave-aged Gravyer from the Kars plateau sliced to order, set alongside Kars kaşar, clotted cream and local wildflower honey. Served with thin-baked yufka crackers.
Cold main
Manti with Brown Butter and Strained Yoghurt
Hand-folded lamb and onion dumplings, chilled and finished galley-side with clarified butter, dried mint and a spoonful of cold strained yoghurt. A composed cold plate rooted in the eastern Anatolian table.
Hot main
Kuzu Tandır — Slow-Roasted Plateau Lamb
Shoulder of highland lamb prepared in the tandır tradition, portioned and sealed for galley reheating. The long cook renders it clean and yielding; served with roasted aubergine and flatbread.
Morning
Eastern Anatolian Breakfast Tray
A full spread of Kars Gravyer, kaşar, sucuk, wildflower honey, clotted cream and soft-boiled eggs, with fresh-baked bread and walnut preserve. Designed for early departures from KSY.
Pâtisserie
Walnut and Honey Börek
Thin layers of yufka pastry filled with crushed walnuts and highland honey, baked until just crisp. A local pâtisserie expression that requires no embellishment.
To finish
Pastırma-Cured Beef with Pickled Vegetables
Thinly sliced air-cured beef from the northeastern curing tradition, plated with quick-pickled regional vegetables and a smear of mustard cream. Clean, assertive, specific to place.

Kars private jet catering

The Kars plateau is one of Turkey's most distinctive food regions, defined by its long winters and pastoral traditions rather than the Mediterranean abundance found further west. The area is celebrated above all for Kars Gravyer — a firm, cave-aged gruyère-style cheese introduced by Russian settlers in the nineteenth century — and for raw honey gathered from highland flowers that bloom briefly and intensely each summer. These are not marketing embellishments; they are protected regional products with a flavour profile entirely specific to this corner of Anatolia. Beyond dairy and honey, the surrounding highlands yield slow-raised lamb and beef with a depth that reflects the animals' grazing on wild herbs at altitude. Kars kaşar, the region's semi-hard cow's milk cheese, and locally cured pastırma are staples of the eastern Anatolian table — ingredients that translate naturally into refined galley preparations when handled with the attention they deserve. Altitude Dining sources these materials locally and structures menus around them, so your catering genuinely reflects where you are.

Regional Catering Menu · Kars

Inflight catering menu for Kars

Eastern Anatolian cuisine is built on restraint and substance rather than complexity for its own sake. Slow-cooked kuzu tandır — shoulder of lamb sealed and roasted underground — is the emblematic dish of the region, its texture the result of hours rather than technique. Alongside it, cağ kebabı from the wider northeastern tradition offers leaner, horizontally spit-roasted lamb sliced to order; both adapt cleanly to galley-ready formats without losing their character. Manti, the small hand-folded dumplings finished with browned butter and yoghurt, represent the area's connection to Central Asian food culture and work well as a composed cold or warm first course at altitude. For morning departures, the eastern Anatolian breakfast tradition is genuinely worth building a service around: Kars Gravyer, kaşar, clotted cream from highland milk, wildflower honey, sucuk and fresh-baked bread form a spread that is both locally specific and inherently elegant. Pastry options lean on simple yufka-based preparations and walnut-filled börek rather than French pâtisserie — an honest reflection of the region that reads as considered curation rather than compromise.
