While intra-Europe business class is more or less the same — simply coach seating with a blocked middle seat and slightly better food and service — I tend to think Austrian is the one airline that sticks out, thanks in no small part to their amazing catering by DO&CO.

I suppose you haven't flown TAP Portugal intra-Europe in business. They have a "2"-3 configuration, where the left side seats have the middle seat blocked, but the right side seats are actually a little wider. And if I recall correctly, they have a slightly larger pitch as well (2 inches more, I guess).
That actually looks a lot better than the BA Club Europe flights I took a couple months ago. I never would have thought to try Austrian but I just might on my next trip to Europe.
"Not only is it hot, but it’s edible. Ridiculously so."
That's the funniest thing I've read all day.
"Our food is ridiculously edible!"
Sounds like something you'd randomly see out of the corner of your eye somewhere in Japan.
I want more pictures of the staff in action. You're in Europe where taking a picture of the staff is not yet a first degree felony, so take advantage of it.

Dude,
I had that same exact meal on my BRU-VIE flight. It WAS delicious, especially the hot, cheesy pasta. The only minus if I can say of that meal was the eclair thingy. Not the greatest.
Afterwards I flew from VIE to DXB, and this might be the first time I ate everything on the menu. Seriously, DO & CO puts everyone to shame.
If any of you guys haven't tried it--I highly recommend you do. Lucky is on the money with this one.
Cheers,

Lucky, how does DO & CO's catering compare to Swiss and Asiana's first class catering?
@ wwk5d -- That's a toughie, all are excellent. I'd say Swiss and Asiana first class probably have a slight edge since they're first class and not business class, but all are really excellent.
