Private jet catering menu for Faro

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenPortugal

To start
Ria Formosa Clam Broth
Local palourde clams opened to order in a clear broth of white wine, garlic and flat-leaf parsley, finished with a thread of Algarve extra-virgin olive oil. Served in a sealed porcelain cup, galley-ready.
Cold main
Salt-Cod and Potato Terrine
Desalted bacalhau flaked through firm potato, bound with coriander oil and set into a chilled terrine slice. Accompanied by a scatter of black olives and pickled red onion.
Hot main
Cataplana of Clams and Chouriço
A Algarvian classic reinterpreted for galley reheating: clams braised with smoked chouriço, ripe tomato, white wine and piri-piri, sealed in a individual portion and finished with fresh coriander.
To finish
Algarve Orange and Almond Cake
A flourless cake built on ground almonds and the intensely sweet navel oranges grown inland from Silves, served at room temperature with a small pot of crème fraîche.
Pâtisserie
Dom Rodrigo
The Algarve's most distinctive confection: threads of egg yolk and sugar folded around a core of fig-and-almond paste, wrapped in foil in the traditional manner. Two pieces per portion.
To start
Smoked Tuna and Queijo Fresco Tart
A short-crust shell filled with whipped queijo fresco, ribbons of locally smoked tuna and a preserved-lemon dressing. Served cold, individual portion, no reheating required.

Inflight catering in Faro

Faro sits at the edge of the Ria Formosa, a sheltered lagoon system that defines the Algarve's character as much as its limestone cliffs. The region's fishing heritage runs deep: clams, razor clams, cuttlefish and fresh Atlantic sea bass are landed daily at Olhão, just a short drive east. Stone-fruit orchards and carob groves inland add a quieter, earthier dimension to the local larder. The Algarve's food culture is honest and ingredient-led — grilled fish dressed with little more than local olive oil and coarse salt, slow-cooked cataplana stews fragrant with coriander and smoked paprika. When we source for Faro departures, we draw directly on these producers and traditions, so the provender on board reflects the landscape your passengers have just left.

Regional Catering Menu · Faro

Local sourcing for FAO

Algarve olive oils are among southern Europe's most expressive, pressing varieties such as Galega and Cordovil into oils with a clean, grassy finish. We work these into dressings, marinades and finishing oils across the menu. Pastéis de massa tenra — the delicate lard-pastry parcels filled with tuna or salt-cod — travel beautifully and serve as a signature canapé for shorter sectors out of FAO. For longer flights, cataplana-inspired preparations — clams braised with chouriço, white wine and flat-leaf parsley, sealed and finished in the galley — bring a genuinely regional note to the hot-meal course. Pastry boards might include Dom Rodrigos, the egg-yolk and almond confections native to the Algarve, alongside contemporary pâtisserie for passengers who prefer a lighter finish.
