Inflight catering menu for Tachina

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

The Altitude Dining kitchenEcuador

Cold main
Esmeraldas Encocado of Corvina
Line-caught corvina gently simmered in a reduction of coastal coconut milk, annatto, and fresh coriander. Served cold in a sealed galley portion with a lime-dressed yuca salad alongside.
To start
Chontaduro and Prawn Causa
Layers of seasoned chontaduro palm purée and cold-water Pacific prawns bound with ají amarillo cream, finished with micro-coriander. A composed starter that travels without compromise.
Hot main
Andean Potato and Chorizo Locro
A refined take on the sierra staple: waxy highland potatoes, aged white cheese, and house-made chorizo in a light achiote broth. Portioned and heat-sealed for galley reheating.
To finish
Nacional Cacao and Coconut Tart
A pressed shortcrust case filled with a dark ganache made from single-origin Esmeraldas cacao, finished with toasted coconut and a flake of smoked Maldon salt.
Morning
Tropical Fruit and Quinoa Morning Bowl
Andean quinoa soaked overnight and dressed with fresh maracuyá, guanábana, and a drizzle of raw coastal honey. Light, protein-rich, and suited to early departures.
Pâtisserie
Cacao Nib and Orange Financier
Butter financiers baked with ground Nacional cacao nibs and Valencia orange zest. Four per portion, individually wrapped — an unhurried accompaniment to coffee at altitude.

Inflight catering for Tachina flights

Tachina sits at near sea level on Ecuador's verdant Pacific coast, within reach of one of the most biologically rich agricultural belts on earth. The surrounding Esmeraldas province produces cacao prized by European chocolatiers, tropical fruits that rarely survive the journey to export markets, and shellfish drawn straight from estuarine waters. We work with local suppliers to bring these ingredients aboard your aircraft in their prime condition. The wider region extends inland toward the Andean highlands, placing Tachina at a genuine crossroads of Ecuadorian produce. From the coast come fresh prawns, corvina, and chontaduro palm fruit; from the sierra, waxy potatoes, quinoa, and aged cheeses. That range gives our culinary team the latitude to compose menus that reflect where you actually are — not a generic tropical itinerary.

Regional Catering Menu · Tachina

Tachina private jet catering

Ecuador's cacao heritage is central to what we offer at Tachina. Single-origin Nacional cacao from Esmeraldas province underpins several of our pâtisserie preparations, and we source it through direct relationships that guarantee traceability and freshness. Alongside it, encocado — the region's signature coconut-and-seafood preparation — translates elegantly into a refined cold starter or warm galley dish suited to the rhythms of a private flight. Crew meals receive the same sourcing discipline as passenger menus. Whether the sector is a short coastal hop toward Manta or Portoviejo, or a longer positioning flight toward Quito some 187 kilometres to the south, our kitchen calibrates portion weight, temperature, and packaging to the expected block time. Altitude affects perception; we adjust seasoning and texture accordingly so every dish arrives as intended.
