How much notice does Altitude Dining require for a Matane order?

For standard menus, four to six hours is sufficient for most orders. Elaborate custom menus or speciality items benefit from 24 hours' notice. Kosher meals require a minimum of 24 hours to maintain full chain-of-custody integrity.

Which FBO or handler should I specify for delivery?

We deliver to whichever handler holds your aircraft at YME. Confirm the handling company when you place your order and we will coordinate directly with them for planeside or galley delivery.

Can you cater crew meals to the same standard as the passenger cabin?

Yes. Crew meals at Altitude Dining are planned from the same ingredient pool and prepared in the same kitchen as passenger food. They are packaged separately and clearly labelled for quick galley organisation.

Does Altitude Dining serve other airports in the Lower St. Lawrence region?

Yes. Our regional network covers the full Lower St. Lawrence corridor. Airports near Mont-Joli and Baie-Comeau, as well as those further along toward Rimouski, are all within our service footprint, so continuity of catering is straightforward for crews operating across multiple stops.

How is food packaged for a shorter regional aircraft?

We package all orders in airline-standard containers sized to the galley format of the specific aircraft type. For lighter aircraft without a dedicated galley, we use compact, stackable chilled boxes designed for easy stowage in the cabin.

Can we request locally sourced Gaspésie or St. Lawrence products specifically?

Absolutely. Estuary shrimp, regional cheeses, smoked river trout and small-batch preserves from Gaspésie producers are among the regional items we can incorporate on request. Please mention any preferences when placing your order so we can confirm seasonal availability.

Inflight Catering · Matane

Inflight catering in Matane

Matane sits on the south shore of the St. Lawrence estuary, a working river town whose identity is inseparable from the water. The region produces some of eastern Québec's most compelling ingredients: Atlantic shrimp hauled from the estuary, fine cheeses from nearby Gaspésie farmsteads, and wild berries harvested from the plateau above town. These are not decorative flourishes — they are the backbone of what we put aboard your aircraft. The wider corridor stretching toward Mont-Joli and Baie-Comeau shares this larder, and our sourcing network spans the full stretch of the Lower St. Lawrence. For Matane aircraft catering orders, we consolidate provisions from trusted regional suppliers and deliver galley-ready, chilled and labelled, to whichever handler holds your aircraft on the apron.

Regional Catering Menu · Matane

Local sourcing for YME

Eastern Québec's culinary personality is built on cold-water seafood, slow-aged dairy and forest foraging. Our kitchen renders these traditions in a register suited to the cabin: shrimp bisque enriched with crème fraîche and tarragon, pressed terrines of smoked trout from the Matane River, and buckwheat blinis that carry the grain's slight earthiness without overwhelming more delicate garnishes. Every preparation travels in temperature-controlled, cabin-ready packaging — nothing is left to chance between our kitchen and the galley door. For morning departures we lean into the region's boulangerie heritage: laminated pastries made in-house, dense pain de campagne, and fruit preserves sourced from Gaspésie producers who still put up small-batch confiture the old way. Crew meals receive the same standard of ingredient and presentation as the passenger cabin — a point we consider non-negotiable on every order, regardless of aircraft size.
