SWISSSwiss International Air Lines (SWISS) will be serving First and Business Class guests on its long-haul flights from Switzerland culinary creations from Canton Aargau for the next three months. The FAHR restaurant in the Aargau village of Künten is the proud holder of one Michelin star and 17 GaultMillau points. And its kitchen is headed by 29-year-old chef de cuisine Manuel Steigmeier, with his wife Alexandra as the restaurant’s chef de service. Idyllically located between the River Reuss and the picturesque Reusstal recreational area, the FAHR is a byword for contemporary culinary fare that is hallmarked by its purist presentation and its extensive use of local and regional ingredients.

“The concoctions of Manuel Steigmeier blend classic elements with a fresh creative touch – a combination that fits excellently with SWISS,” says SWISS Head of Brand Experience Julia Hillenbrand. “And I’m delighted that we can now take our inflight guests, too, on this exciting culinary journey.”
“It’s a genuine honour for our FAHR culinary team to represent Canton Aargau aloft,” adds Manuel Steigmeier. “Our restaurant guests often see SWISS aircraft flying over from our garden terrace. And knowing that our meal creations will now be served so high above the clouds makes us all truly proud.”
Veal cheeks, salmon trout and ‘Rüeblikuchen’
SWISS First travellers can enjoy a starter of char tatar with dill mayonnaise, cucumber and yoghurt mousse, followed by a choice of main courses: braised veal cheeks with cremolata, cherry jus and mascarpone polenta or sautéed cod with chimichurri, creamy fregola sarda and roasted autumn vegetables. A chocolate financier provides a sweet conclusion to the First Class offer.
For SWISS’s Business Class guests, Manuel Steigmeier has created a starter of marinated salmon trout with wild herb salad. The main course selection comprises a Beef Stroganov with spätzli, beetroot and sour cream or sautéed pikeperch with Riesling beurre blanc, lye bread dumpling and broccolini. The SWISS Business dessert consists of a chestnut cake with vanilla whipped cream, mandarin and calamansi gel.
SWISS’s new three-course Premium Economy Class meal has also been inspired by Canton Aargau’s cuisine. And SWISS Premium Economy travellers will be able to enjoy Habsburger Ritterkäse and Aarenberger cheeses along with the canton’s famed ‘Rüeblikuchen’ carrot cake with crème diplomate.
