KLM has unveiled its new KLM World Business Class menu on flights from Amsterdam. The menu was created by Dutch chef Jonnie Boer and sommelier Thérèse Boer of restaurant De Librije, whose previous menus went down a treat with KLM passengers. Business class passengers can expect a new menu of starters and mains every quarter.

KLM's new business class menu

Dutch carrier KLM has launched its new long-haul business class menu created by long-time culinary partners Jonnie and Thérèse Boer. The new menu will be available in World Business Class on KLM flights out of Amsterdam as of this week.

Main dishes on offer include baked salmon, Chicken thigh in a star anise gravy and a selection of local delicacies. Meals are accompanied by a selection of wines picked out by sommelier Thérèse Boer.

KLM said, "KLM is proud to serve again dishes designed by the Netherlands’ best chef Jonnie Boer. Previous collaboration with Jonnie and Thérèse Boer was much appreciated by KLM’s customers. KLM is looking forward to again offering Jonnie’s contemporary style and Thérèse’s expertise in wines and hospitality."

The airline first cooperated with Jonnie Boer back in 2010, with his menus earning acclaim from business class travelers. Jonnie and Thérèse run the world-renowned Restaurant De Librije in Zwolle and have worked with KLM on multiple menus over the years.
