Inflight catering menu for Mariquita

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenColombia

Hot main
Tamale Tolimense Refined
Heritage masa and slow-braised pork with rice and vegetables, wrapped and steamed in plantain leaf, then re-portioned into a sealed galley tray with a light ají amarillo sauce on the side.
To start
Lulo and Maracuyá Ceviche of River Fish
Line-caught freshwater fish dressed in a sharp leche de tigre built on lulo and passion fruit, with thinly sliced red onion, fresh coriander and toasted cancha.
Morning
Eje Cafetero Morning Board
Arepas de choclo with cuajada cheese, sliced seasonal tropical fruit, and a thermos of single-origin Colombian coffee sourced from farms in the Manizales–Pereira corridor.
Cold main
Lechona Tolimense Portion
Slow-roasted pork seasoned with cumin, spring onion and yellow peas, served cold-sliced with hogao relish and a small portion of patacones — ideal for mid-flight service without reheating.
To finish
Guanábana Mousse with Coconut Tuile
A light, chilled mousse made from soursop purée with a whisper of lime zest, set in a travel-stable portion cup and finished with a crisp coconut and panela tuile.
Pâtisserie
Pandebono and Dark Chocolate Ganache
Warm cheese bread rolls from the Colombian tradition, paired with a small pot of 70% cacao ganache made from Colombian-origin chocolate — a compact, satisfying close to any service.

Inflight catering for Mariquita flights

Mariquita sits in the warm lowlands of Tolima, a region whose agricultural richness has fed Colombia for centuries. The surrounding valleys produce exceptional tropical fruit — lulo, guanábana, maracuyá — alongside fine coffee grown on the slopes climbing toward the Andes, all of it accessible to our sourcing team within the wider corridor that links MQU to Manizales, Ibagué and Bogotá. The town itself carries a quiet historical gravity: one of the oldest Spanish settlements in the country, and a former base for botanical expeditions that mapped the region's extraordinary biodiversity. That same abundance informs how we build menus here — produce-led, seasonally honest, and rooted in a landscape that has little reason to import what it already grows.

Regional Catering Menu · Mariquita

Mariquita private jet catering

Tolima's culinary canon is among the most distinctive in Colombia. Lechona — slow-roasted stuffed pork that requires unhurried preparation — translates beautifully into refined galley portions, as does tamale tolimense, a heritage dish of masa, rice and slow-cooked meat wrapped in plantain leaf. Our kitchen interprets these classics with the restraint expected at altitude: recalibrated seasoning, controlled portion weights, and packaging engineered for reheating without compromise. For lighter uplift, we build cold mains around the valley's fish and tropical produce, and our morning boards draw on the coffee-growing traditions of the nearby Eje Cafetero — single-origin beans sourced from farms within the Manizales and Pereira corridors, served alongside arepas de choclo and fresh seasonal fruit. Every order, regardless of scale, is assembled to the same galley-ready standard we apply at major Colombian gateways.
