The fruit, breads, yogurt and smoothie were fantastic. Omelet was on the dry side though. Overall, excellent meal.

The wines were great but the food was not the greatest. I am a very open-minded, adventurous eater but even this was kind of boring which surprised me given the French roots of this flight. The scallop dish was the feature of the 2 star Michelin Chef of the moment for Air France (Michel Roth) and it was substandard with soggy snap peas and no sear on the scallops. The flight attendant took it back based on its blase' appearance and I selected the lamb instead. I think it was more like elderly mutton because it was so tough with no sear as advertised and cooked just shy of leather. The service and plane were great, this new route from AF is outstanding but hopefully this meal was not typical of what they are capable of.
