Comments: the starter comes on a tray with the cheese which is a good idea as the flight a night flight is. The salmon was fantastic, soup could have been ordered as well. For the main course a choice between three different entrees was offered and the beef was cooked medium which is quite uncommon on a plane. It tasted like at home and the vegetables were perfect. The cheese was californian one and the blue cheese was one of the best I ever tasted ans I travel a lot !! Dessert was somewhat disapointing with the strawberry having no taste... But overall a very nice dinner rounded off with a superbe glass of cognac !

Meal: Dinner - Steak with "Spätzli" and vegetables, salad.
Drink: Apéritif: Gin Tonic, French red wine, still water, tea, baileys.
Comments: As we rushed (boarding completed 10 minutes after scheduled departure time) no pre-take-off drink was served. The meal was great, it is rare to get meat perfectly cooked in planes, this steak was perfect, the mustard sauce delicious. The balsamico dressing in the little bottle is back, it was temporary substituted by a dressing in a plastic cup as you get at McD. They served the Lindt&Sprüngli chocolates during tea/coffee service, but no desert was served. The flight attendant was one of the best I ever saw, she served the wine perfectly (left hand behind the body while serving and other littel things, like in a top restaurant) however as she opened the Champage bottle for my neighbor, she spread it in the whole cabin. I was really like after a Formula One GP. But her reaction was great and nobody was angry.

Meal: Breakfast - 1 course:
Cold plate with fruits, cheese and meat.

2 course:
Hot dish with patatoes, eggs, mushrooms and spinach.
Drink: OJ before take-off, Tea, multi vitamin juice, later on Champagne
Comments: A very good business class breakfast. The cups had been heaten up, that keeps the beverage hot till you finish. The main dish was a bit tasteless, but with a little salt it was good. You could have as many rolls and refills as you wanted. After the meal, one cabin attendant served us the chocolates from the economy class. The other cabin attendant saw that mistake and imediately brought the right chocolate (pralines from Lindt&Sprüngli, not pictured).
The crew member in charge of the business class cabin was very friendly and attentive, however the purser seemed very tired and not that motivated.

the most tasteful on this swiss air flight was the risotto, smooth and creamy and the whole cabin smelled from the flowerful mushroom, well done but no thyme on the plate either
it was hard to get dessert (disappointing convienence-industrial stuff) & two pieces of cheap cheese, not worth to be called bizz class meal

Comments: The meal was nice and warm.
However, the fish, tasted bland.
The fruit slices were good though. I particularly liked the sweet pineapples.
However, the service was not too good as the flight attendents scrambled to serve a rather full flight. Two flight attendents were serving drinks and both missed giving me and the dude sitting next to me a drink. The flight attendent call button also had little use as no call was responded to.
Overall, Swiss did not obtain a satisfying service level.

Comments: Probably still one of the best airlines on North American routes, but you can see every cent they try to save: nearly everything is plastic (glasses, cuttlery) or cardbox (cups), the nuts of the pre-lunch drink are gone (here again, see it in a positif way: many other airlines don’t even serve a pre-lunch drink...), the portions are quite small (three little pieces of chicken) and the desert of the main meal is a pre-packet item (comparing to a mousse or a piece of cake in earlier years). The quality of the main meal was very good, the pizza however had an industrial taste. Thumbs up for the Baileys and the delicious ice cream!
