LOT Debuts New Michelin-Starred Business Class Menu

LOT Polish Airlines is introducing a new edition of its Michelin-starred Flavours project, bringing a new fine-dining menu to Business Class passengers starting in October.

Przemysล‚aw Sieradzki, Executive Chef at Restaurant Giewont in Koล›cielisko, Poland’s Tatra Mountains, created the menu.

Giewont holds one Michelin star, awarded in 2024, when it became the first restaurant outside a major Polish city to receive one in the Polish edition of the Michelin Guide.

The selection includes hand-shaped pierogi filled with fresh and fermented cabbage, seasoned with marjoram and served with morels poached in mushroom broth, garlic butter-fried kale, and a sauce of cabbage jus, fermented cabbage juice, and beurre noisette.

Butter-confit rainbow trout comes with a sauce of chicken jus, cream, black truffle, and Truffe Noire cheese, served with green beans two ways, butter-fried panko, parsley powder, chives, and freshly shaved black truffle.

The lamb dish is a ten-hour slow-cooked leg, served with potato purรฉe, baby gem lettuce poached in lamb jus and butter emulsion, sheep’s milk yoghurt, mint oil, and a lamb jus infused with Kampot pepper.

The beef dish is a fifteen-hour-braised short rib, served with celeriac three ways: purรฉe, remoulade, and roasted celeriac scented with smoked vegetable oil, finished with a Bordelaise sauce of beef jus, red wine, confit shallot, bone marrow, and tarragon.

Passengers can pre-select their main course through LOT’s online booking management tool.

The menu is available on selected intercontinental flights departing Warsaw Chopin Airport, in partnership with the Polish Tourism Organisation.

LOT taps Michelin-starred chef for Warsaw departures

LOT Polish Airlines has brought on Bartosz Szymczak from Warsaw’s Michelin-starred Rozbrat 20 to design four business class main courses for long-haul flights from Warsaw.

Passengers need to order at least 24 hours in advance through LOT’s booking system or call centre.

The programme runs until 31 January 2026, with backing from the Polish Tourism Organisation.

What’s on the menu

Szymczak’s four dishes work around galley limitations: sous-vide salmon with shrimp croquette and roasted pepper sauce, beef bourguignon with baby potatoes, veal roulades with candied apple and morel sauce, and spinach lasagna with ricotta.

The sous-vide approach keeps proteins consistent during reheating, while
the rich sauces help with taste issues at altitude.

Why this works

Most airline chef tie-ups just rotate set menus. LOT’s 24-hour ordering window lets them plan ingredient sourcing, acting more like Singapore’s book-the-cook approach, but with fewer choices.

The tourism board involvement shows LOT sees this as Warsaw destination marketing, not just premium cabin perks.

Testing it for five months suggests they’re weighing whether to expand to other Polish restaurants.
