Which handler should I specify when placing an order?

There is no single nominated handler at Cascais. Simply tell us which company is managing your aircraft and we will coordinate delivery directly with them, keeping you informed through your single point of contact.

Can you source fresh seafood on the day of departure?

Yes. The Cascais fishing harbour and Lisbon's markets are close enough that line-caught fish and shellfish can be sourced, prepared and delivered to the ramp within the same morning for early-afternoon departures. Lead time permitting, we recommend confirming seafood orders at least eighteen hours in advance.

Is Cascais suitable for wide-body aircraft catering with high-loader service?

The runway at Cascais is 1,400 metres, which limits the field to lighter business jets and turboprops. High-loader service is not applicable here. If your operation requires a larger aircraft, Lisbon is twenty kilometres away and is equipped for wide-body uplift.

Do you cater kosher meals at this airport?

Kosher menus are available at Cascais with a minimum of twenty-four hours' notice to allow for sourcing and certification. Please specify requirements and any relevant certification standards when you enquire.

Can crew meals be ordered separately from the passenger cabin?

Absolutely. Crew meals are handled as a distinct component of every order — appropriately portioned, clearly labelled and packaged to comply with duty-of-rest and safety requirements. We treat crew provisions with the same care as the passenger menu.

What if my next stop is Faro or Lisbon — can you arrange catering there as well?

Yes. Through our worldwide network we can coordinate continuation catering at onward destinations including Faro and Lisbon, ensuring consistency of menu style and supplier standards across the entire itinerary.

The chef's menu at CAT

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenPortugal

To start

Atlantic Sea Bass Tartare

Line-caught sea bass, finely diced with cold-pressed Alentejo olive oil, lemon zest, capers and a whisper of piri-piri. Served chilled in a porcelain cup with toasted sourdough wafers.

Cold main

Iberian Ham & Sheep's Cheese Board

Hand-carved acorn-fed presunto, aged Serra da Estrela cheese, honeycomb and pickled green tomatoes. Galley-ready in a sealed presentation box with accompaniments portioned separately.

Hot main

Slow-Roasted Alentejo Pork Shoulder

Twelve-hour roast pork with garlic, bay and white wine, finished with roasted new potatoes and grilled padron peppers. Packed in oven-safe trays for straightforward galley reheating.

Morning

Açorda with Poached Egg & Coriander

A refined take on the traditional Alentejo bread soup — slow-simmered chicken stock, day-old bread, abundant fresh coriander and a soft poached egg. Deeply comforting on early-morning winter sectors.

Pâtisserie

Pastel de Nata — Baked to Order

Classic Lisbon-style custard tart, caramelised on top, set in a flaky lard pastry shell. Baked the morning of departure and presented in individual kraft sleeves to survive the journey to the seat.

To finish

Dark Chocolate & Port Wine Ganache

Single-origin 70% chocolate ganache enriched with a reduction of aged tawny Port, set in individual slate-effect cups and finished with Maldon sea salt flakes. A considered close to any Portuguese menu.

Inflight Catering · Cascais

Cascais private jet catering

Cascais sits on the Estoril Coast, twenty kilometres west of Lisbon along one of Europe's most storied stretches of shoreline. The town has long drawn discerning travellers precisely because it balances a working fishing harbour with quietly sophisticated restaurants and wine estates tucked into the Serra de Sintra hillsides. That cultural tension — maritime and terroir, rustic and refined — informs everything we build for passengers departing from here. Lisbon's wholesale and artisan markets are well within reach, meaning our kitchen team can source the morning's catch, hand-cut acorn-fed Alentejo ham and single-estate Setúbal Peninsula wines before they reach your galley. Proximity to the capital also gives us access to specialist importers and cold-chain logistics that would be unavailable at more remote Portuguese airfields.

Regional Catering Menu · Cascais

Inflight catering menu for Cascais

Portugal's pantry is deeper than the clichés suggest. Cascais catering orders regularly feature line-caught sea bass and gilt-head bream from the Atlantic waters just beyond the runway, dressed simply with cold-pressed Alentejo olive oil and fleur de sel rather than disguised beneath heavy sauces. Pastéis de nata — the custard tarts whose recipe remains stubbornly regional — travel beautifully when baked to order and nested in individual presentation boxes for the cabin. For longer sectors or larger parties, we build menus around slow-roasted Iberian pork from the Alentejo, açorda bread soups enriched with coriander and poached egg, and aged sheep's-milk cheeses from the Serra da Estrela. Portuguese wine pairings — Vinho Verde for lighter courses, structured reds from the Douro or Dão for mains — are sourced to complement rather than compete with the food. Kosher menus are available with twenty-four hours' notice.
