Domestic Qantas Lounge - Hot food

Lshadowfangz on 09/07/2018 - 15:48

Hi all,

Apologies if this has already been posted, but doing a quick search of Qantas lounge/vegetarian didn't yield me any matching results.

Lately I've observed that whether I've been to my local Qantas lounge (Canberra) the hot food selection for dinner has always been a vegetarian option.
I don't know if this has been a recent change (they used to serve Nasi Goreng and others I recall) but for the last 5 times I've been there it has always been some vegetarian hot food which leads me to believe a change to their menu to only serve vegetarian (not counting your cold slices of ham and tuna).

So a) I wanted to know if this is a permanent change and b) if this is across the board (all domestic lounges)

Has anyone noticed similar?

    haha… most times that I go to the Canberra lounge (once a week), the hot food is not vegetarian. Its things like Tuna Bake or Beef Risotto or meat pies.

    Last Friday, I think they had rice and Dhal though.

    Next time you're there, ask at the counter or give Qantas a quick call. They'll be able to tell you what's going on.

      Haha, maybe I'll time my flights to when they have a good menu

    Does it matter?

    Definitely not an Australia wide thing.

    Shoot Qantas a email

    Interestingly, the two hot dishes at Melbourne domestic QF lounge today are both vegetarian - lentil soup and pumpkin penne pasta.

    Lol no one posted yet: So what did Qantas say?

      You expect to get a helpful answer from Qantas other than cookie cutter reply along the lines of we serve meals for everyone to eat we don't determine what meals blablabla…?

      Haven't contacted Qantas yet but MrHyde's first comment seems to indicate they don't just do vegetarian dishes… Maybe I just have bad luck with timing their menu.

    Had a dig through the Qantas website for an email, oh boy it's hard to find (cannot find)

    Bumping an old thread to find out what Qantas lounges are like during covid times?

    I have never been and have passes to use up and most likely in Sydney, as the Melbourne lounge is closed.

    What's their offering? Worth it?
