The Flavors of the South of France, Served with Flying Seahorse Elegance

The South of France is more than a place, it’s a sensory experience. A region defined by its landscapes and legacy, where meals are shared slowly, and ingredients are deeply rooted in the earth and sea. At Flying Seahorse, we’ve translated this spirit into the world of private aviation, crafting bespoke inflight dining experiences inspired by the South of France’s rich culinary identity.

Now delivering from Nice, Cannes, Marseille, Toulon, Lyon and beyond, our private jet catering merges authenticity with refinement. Whether you’re flying to Saint-Tropez, Geneva or Ibiza, the Riviera travels with you—on porcelain, under silver lids, and in every bite.

The Culinary Heritage of the South of France

Southern French cuisine is built on simplicity, generosity, and time-honored technique. Anchored in both Mediterranean influence and Provençal tradition, it reflects a culture where markets, fishermen, and local artisans shape daily life—and fine dining begins with humble ingredients.

We’ve studied these traditions, not to mimic them, but to elevate them for high-end inflight service. Below, a selection of emblematic dishes from the region, now available in curated formats through our menus:

Riviera-Inspired Creations from Our Inflight Menus

Southern French cuisine is rooted in simplicity, seasonality, and the natural richness of the land and sea. At Flying Seahorse, we carefully reinterpret these regional staples to suit the inflight environment—preserving flavor, texture, and elegance in every bite. Here’s a selection of iconic dishes from the South of France, reimagined for private jet dining:

1. Salade Niçoise Moderne

A reimagined version of the Riviera classic, this salad layers seared tuna, quail eggs, confit potatoes, olives, and haricots verts. Served chilled with an anchovy vinaigrette and microgreens, it’s a fresh and elegant starter perfect for the cabin environment.

2. Gratin de Fruits de Mer

This delicate seafood gratin features scallops, shrimp, and white fish in a white wine and cream reduction, lightly gratinéed for a golden finish. Served in individual ramekins, it balances richness with refinement—ideal for inflight service.

3. Coq au Vin

A timeless French favorite, this dish is prepared with chicken slowly braised in Burgundy wine, mushrooms, lardons, and pearl onions. Served boneless and portioned for flight, it brings warmth and tradition with a gourmet presentation.

4. Fromages Français Sélectionnés

A curated selection of artisanal French cheeses—such as Comté, Chèvre, Brie, and Roquefort—accompanied by dried apricots, walnuts, and rustic crackers. A sophisticated interlude or finale to your inflight dining experience.

5. Poulet Rôti aux Herbes

Tender roasted chicken breast infused with herbes de Provence, served alongside ratatouille or seasonal vegetables. Light, flavorful, and beautifully adaptable to a private aviation setting.
