The chef's menu at EAS

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenSpain

To start
Cantabrian Anchovy on Sourdough
Salt-cured anchovies from the local coast, laid over toasted wood-fired sourdough with a thread of cold-pressed olive oil. Clean, saline, and deliberately uncluttered.
Cold main
Spider Crab with Herb Emulsion
Atlantic spider crab, picked and chilled to order, served with a light emulsion of parsley and lemon. Presented in a chilled portion ready for cabin service.
Hot main
Kokotxas al Pil-Pil
Hake cheeks slow-cooked in olive oil and garlic until the natural gelatin forms the classic pil-pil sauce. A defining preparation of the Basque coast, plated galley-ready.
Hot main
Txuleton with Piquillo Pepper
Dry-aged Basque beef, seared and rested, accompanied by slow-roasted piquillo peppers. Portioned for cabin service and packed to finish cleanly in a galley oven.
Morning
Idiazabal and Quince on Sourdough
Smoked Idiazabal cheese from the Pyrenean foothills, sliced and paired with quince paste on a thick-cut sourdough. A straightforward, high-quality morning plate.
Pâtisserie
Gâteau Basque with Itxassou Cherry
The canonical French Basque pastry — short, buttery dough encasing a preserve of black cherries from Itxassou. Individual portions, wrapped and ready for the cabin.

The Basque coastline that begins at Hondarribia is, by any serious gastronomic measure, among the most concentrated stretches of fine cooking on the continent. Pintxos bars in the old quarter, fish markets opening at dawn, and cider houses in the hills behind the airfield collectively define a larder that is genuinely difficult to replicate elsewhere. Our sourcing team works directly within this ecosystem, which means the produce reaching your galley is rarely more than a short drive from the apron. Biarritz lies just 25 km to the north, adding a refined French Basque dimension to what we can offer: butter-rich pastry traditions, Atlantic turbot landed at Saint-Jean-de-Luz, and the particular subtlety of Espelette pepper, which threads its way into dishes on both sides of the border. The result is a brief that is neither purely Spanish nor purely French, but distinctly and irreducibly Basque.

Regional Catering Menu · Hondarribia

Inflight catering menu for Hondarribia

Anchovy is the ingredient that defines this stretch of coast. The anchovies of Getaria and Hondarribia itself are salt-cured with a patience that produces something closer to umami depth than mere preserved fish. We plate them simply — good olive oil, nothing competitive — so that they read as a statement rather than an afterthought. Alongside them, spider crab from the Cantabrian Sea, grilled kokotxas al pil-pil, and the local txuleton — dry-aged beef from the hinterland — give our hot-main selections a character that holds even at altitude. For morning departures and crew meals, we lean on the Basque tradition of restrained, high-quality bread work: sourdough from wood-fired ovens in the old town, served with local Idiazabal cheese and quince paste. Pastry follows the French Basque line — gâteau Basque filled with black cherry from Itxassou, individual cannelés, and croissants laminated with Pyrenean butter. Every item travels galley-ready and is timed to your block, not ours.
