How much notice do you need for a full catering order at MPL?

We recommend a minimum of four hours for standard orders so that fresh local produce can be sourced, prepared, and delivered to the handler in good time. Complex or large-scale orders benefit from 12–24 hours' notice. Kosher orders require a minimum of 24 hours.

Can you source fresh, local produce specifically for Montpellier departures?

Yes. Suppliers across the Hérault and neighbouring departments are integrated into our local sourcing network. Oysters from the Étang de Thau, regional cheeses, and seasonal fruit and vegetables from the Languedoc plain can all be incorporated into orders placed with sufficient lead time.

Do you deliver to the aircraft directly, or to the terminal?

Delivery is planeside, coordinated with Montpellier Business Aviation. Orders are packed galley-ready — labelled, temperature-controlled where required, and presented in a sequence that makes loading straightforward for crew.

Can you cater for a multi-leg itinerary that starts or ends at Montpellier?

Yes. Our worldwide network allows a single order to span multiple airports. If your aircraft is positioning through MPL before continuing to another destination, we coordinate each leg under one point of contact so nothing is duplicated and nothing is missed.

Do you provide crew meals separately from passenger catering?

Crew meals are treated as a standard part of every order. They are prepared, labelled, and packed separately from the passenger service so there is no ambiguity on board. Dietary preferences for crew are noted at the order stage.

What happens if our departure time changes after the order is confirmed?

Contact your point of contact immediately and we will adjust the delivery schedule accordingly. Because we operate around the clock, late changes to slot times are handled as a matter of routine rather than exception.

Private jet menu for Montpellier

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenFrance

To start

Étang de Thau Oysters with Pickled Cucumber Granita

Freshly opened Bouzigues oysters served on crushed ice with a fine granita of pickled cucumber and a drop of local Picpoul de Pinet vinegar — briny, cold, and precise.

To start

Tielle Sétoise with Saffron Aioli

The classic octopus-and-tomato pastry from Sète, baked in individual portions and served at room temperature with a small pot of saffron-scented aioli for dipping.

Cold main

Chilled Languedoc Lamb with Tapenade and Roasted Pepper

Thin-sliced roasted saddle of Lozère lamb, served cold with a ribbon of black-olive tapenade and sweet piquillo pepper — a Languedocien antipasto that holds well through the flight.

Hot main

Braised Hérault Lamb Shoulder with White Beans and Garrigue Herbs

Slow-braised shoulder portioned and finished in the galley, resting on a cassoulet-inspired bed of Tarbais-style white beans seasoned with rosemary, thyme, and a thread of smoked garlic oil.

Morning

Croissant Feuilleté with Pélardon and Hérault Honey

A laminated croissant filled at the last moment with softened Pélardon goat's cheese and a measured drizzle of local raw honey — straightforward and genuinely good at altitude.

Pâtisserie

Tarte Fine aux Abricots de l'Hérault

Thin puff-pastry base spread with frangipane and layered with halved local apricots, glazed with a reduction of their own juice and served at ambient temperature.

Inflight Catering · Montpellier/Méditerranée

Private aviation catering at MPL

Montpellier sits at the heart of one of France's most quietly accomplished food regions. Oysters from the Étang de Thau, Pélardon goat's cheese from the Cévennes foothills, garrigue-scented lamb, and early-season stone fruit from the Hérault plain — the raw materials here are serious, and we source them with the same intent. Our suppliers are a short drive from the apron, which means produce cut, packed, and loaded on the same morning is the rule rather than an exception. The city itself has long attracted a younger, design-conscious crowd alongside its traditional Languedocien roots, and the table reflects both. Menus built around this airport therefore move comfortably between a refined bouillabaisse-inspired broth and a deftly assembled tielle — the saffron-and-octopus pastry that travels north from Sète barely an hour away. We translate both registers into galley-ready formats that hold through the flight without compromise.

Regional Catering Menu · Montpellier/Méditerranée

Montpellier inflight catering

Languedoc-Roussillon is a wine region of genuine depth, and we treat the local bottle with the same seriousness as the plate. Picpoul de Pinet, grown on limestone just south of the city, is a natural companion to plateau de fruits de mer boards; structured reds from Pic Saint-Loup pair cleanly with roasted rack of Lozère lamb. Every wine recommendation we make for MPL departures is chosen to complement the food rather than simply represent a appellation. Herbs are, in this corner of France, not a garnish but an ingredient — thyme, rosemary, and wild fennel appear in our Montpellier-originated menus as flavour anchors rather than decoration. Olive oils pressed in the Hérault and aged sheep's cheeses from the Aveyron plateau are stocked as a matter of course when orders originate here. Kosher orders require a minimum of twenty-four hours' notice; all other dietary requirements are addressed at the order stage through your single point of contact.
