The chef's menu at YYD

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenCanada

To start
Skeena Chinook, Cedar Smoke
Chinook salmon cold-smoked over cedar, thinly sliced and arranged with pickled cucumber, crème fraîche, and a scatter of fresh dill. Clean, northern, and immediately of this region.
To start
Chanterelle and Porcini Velouté
A silky wild-mushroom velouté built on a roasted-vegetable base, finished with a thread of truffle oil and a single toasted brioche croûton. Foraged mushrooms sourced through Bulkley Valley gatherers.
Hot main
Roasted Sockeye, Skeena River
Sockeye fillet roasted simply, served with a warm potato and fennel salad dressed in dill vinaigrette. The fish's natural richness carries the dish; nothing overwhelms it.
Hot main
Braised Elk Shoulder, Juniper Jus
Slow-braised elk shoulder portioned for galley reheating, accompanied by root vegetable purée and a juniper-and-red-wine reduction. Holds its texture and depth through the final heating stage.
Morning
Bulkley Valley Granola Board
House-toasted granola with local honey, plain yoghurt, and a small jar of northern berry compote — blueberry and Saskatoon. Straightforward and genuinely good for an early departure.
Pâtisserie
Hazelnut Financier, Smoked Caramel
A small, dense financier made with brown butter and toasted hazelnuts, glazed with a lightly smoked caramel. Firm enough to travel well; refined enough to close a serious meal.

Smithers private jet catering

Smithers sits in the Bulkley Valley, flanked by the Hudson Bay Mountain and one of the most genuinely unspoiled stretches of interior British Columbia. The town is a working community rather than a tourist construct, and its food culture reflects that: serious game, cold-water fish from the Bulkley and Skeena river systems, and produce grown in the short, intense northern summer. We draw on these regional sources to give every order a sense of place. The nearest significant centres — Burns Lake to the east and Terrace to the west — extend the supply network further, reaching coastal seafood and agricultural goods that complement what the valley itself provides. For Smithers private jet catering this means a menu that can be confidently regional without apology, whether a flight is lifting off at dawn or late in the afternoon.

Regional Catering Menu · Smithers

Inflight catering menu for Smithers

Skeena-system salmon is the anchor of any serious menu here: ocean-bright sockeye or Chinook, prepared cold-smoked and thinly sliced for a light starter, or roasted over cedar for a hot main with a character no farmed fish can replicate. We pair it with foraged mushrooms from the surrounding forests — porcini, chanterelle, pine — sourced through trusted gatherers and incorporated into sauces, risottos, and garnishes that feel genuinely of this landscape. Game cookery is handled with the same restraint: venison and elk lend themselves to slow-braised preparations that travel well in a heated galley box, arriving at the aircraft with neither texture nor flavour compromised. For lighter requests, a charcuterie selection built around local cheesemakers and cured meats makes an unassuming but memorable inflight catering board. Kosher orders are fulfilled with a minimum of 24 hours' notice.
