I recently shared my experience flying Emirates first class with my dad from New York (JFK) to Milan (MXP), as part of our Good Morning Milan, Goodnight Moon trip. I’m not writing a traditional review of the flight, but instead, want to focus on a few specific aspects of the experience.
In this post I’d like to broadly discuss a topic I’ve never covered before — just how good is Emirates’ first class food? Having flown Emirates first class dozens of times over the years, I think it makes for an interesting topic, because Emirates is uniquely positioned in terms of its catering.
There are some areas where Emirates is in a league of its own, and other areas where the experience doesn’t impress so much. On balance, I’d consider the catering to be among the best in the industry, though. Let me explain…

I’m not usually a big drinker, but I guess Emirates brings out the worst in me, because you can’t help but work your way through the selection. I mention all of this because truth be told, a lot of my calories consumed on Emirates come in liquid form, and therefore it somewhat limits my interest and consumption of other things. 😉
