The Deli is the Clubhouse centrepiece, where a chef serves a range of regionally-inspired dishes made with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. The Brasserie offers food with a continental flavour, and the Lounge is furnished with leather seats, reading materials, and hot and cold beverage machines.
Passengers can also help themselves to drinks and snacks from various stations, and food throughout zones is complimentary.
