I flew Finnair to attend the Qualityhunters weekend in Helsinki the airline provided return business class flights from Dusseldorf to Helsinki and Helsinki to Milan several days later.

The Marimekko inspired/designed menu from Dusseldorf included:Cherry tomatoes with Mozzarella.

Butter chicken with basmati rice.

Godiva pralines.

From Helsinki to Milan I sampled:Mousse of smoked salmon with sweet dark rye bread.

Beef goulash with a herb polenta.

Godiva pralines.Both meals were of a high-quality standard. I enjoyed the Beef Goulash with the herb polenta; however, the butter chicken was exceptional and flavourful. It may not have presented well, but it was delicious.For passengers travelling in economy class, Finnair offers a buy onboard meal concept where you can purchase snacks as well as sandwiches.
