Qatar Airways is proud to announce a new gastronomic collaboration with acclaimed French chef Yannick Alléno, one of the world’s most celebrated culinary figures. With 17 MICHELIN stars across 19 restaurants in seven countries, Chef Alléno brings his visionary approach to modern cuisine to the airline’s award-winning experience — from the skies to its most exclusive lounges.

This culinary partnership reaffirms Qatar Airways’ commitment to delivering a refined, multi-sensory journey for its passengers through elegant dining, impeccable service, and culturally rich storytelling at its core.

Qatar Airways Chief Retail and Hospitality Officer, Mr. Thabet Musleh, said: “At Qatar Airways, we are constantly striving to innovate and collaborate with the best in their fields. Chef Yannick Alléno – one of the most celebrated names in global gastronomy, represents a benchmark for excellence that reflects our shared passion for innovation, sophistication, and the art of hospitality.”

Chef Yannick Alléno, said: “Partnering with Qatar Airways, whose reputation for excellence is undisputed, is a true honour. Together, we have crafted menus that reflect our shared values and aim to leave travellers with a lasting impression and a timeless moment.”

Blending French refinement with global influences, the bespoke menus curated by Chef Alléno will be introduced in First and Business Class, and later extended to select premium lounges. These menus are a celebration of l’art de vivre – the French art of living  and reflect both brands’ dedication to craftsmanship, and hospitality.

Passengers can look forward to several remarkable culinary experiences, including:

  • The opening of a Pavyllon restaurant in the prestigious First Class Lounge at Hamad International Airport in Doha, offering diners a seat at the counter facing an open kitchen – a signature of Alléno’s “gastronomic counter” concept.
  • The introduction of exclusive creations for Qatar Airways lounges at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport.
  • The debut of First and Business Class menus on selected flights between Paris and Doha, showcasing Alléno’s interpretation of modern French cuisine.

Each dish tells a story, inviting passengers to engage with the essence of ingredient-driven cooking, fermentation, and technique – all hallmarks of Alléno’s culinary identity.

Through this collaboration, Qatar Airways reaffirms its mission to elevate the art of living at altitude. By joining forces with one of the most innovative chefs of our time, the airline transforms inflight dining into an unforgettable cultural and gastronomic experience.

Already renowned for its partnerships with the world’s top chefs, Qatar Airways continues to redefine onboard dining, setting a new benchmark for hospitality and flavour in the sky.

About Yannick Alléno and His Group

Yannick Alléno is one of the greatest French chefs. In 2008, he founded the Group that bears his name to unite his vision across 19 establishments holding a total of 17 Michelin stars. He has laid the foundations of a distinctive culinary identity: Modern Cuisine. Inspired by Auguste Escoffier, Alléno has revived the art of sauces, using cutting-edge techniques such as extraction, fermentation, and cryo-concentration to honor the essence of each ingredient.

In 2014, he took over the concession of the Pavillon Ledoyen in Paris, where he launched three restaurant concepts:

●          The three-star gastronomic restaurant Alléno Paris, which features a unique “Table Concierge” service,

●          The two-star sushi counter L’Abysse,

●          And the one-star relaxed gastronomic counter Pavyllon.

Pavyllon also has locations in several international capitals including Paris, London, and Monte Carlo. Today, Pavillon Ledoyen is the most Michelin-starred independent establishment in the world. The Yannick Alléno Group champions a “quaternary” approach: nurturing talent, reinventing the codes of fine dining and service, and delivering extraordinary culinary experiences that leave a lasting mark on each guest.
