Dining menus on Cathay Pacific

In First Class, you can order from an à la carte menu at your convenience throughout the flight. You will be able to choose from our international or contemporary Asian signature dishes, or opt for a light and healthy meal which has been specially designed by renowned celebrity chefs, on selected routes.
