Catering your event – Start from individual dishes

You may prefer to build your menu by starting from individual items, which gives you the freedom to go “non traditional”. For example, we see an emerging trend toward tapas (broadly defined), where our clients no longer think of a meal as being entrée-centric, but where a meal is visualized as a lot of appetizers and desserts offered as a smorgasbord.

Chef Lorena is well versed in the Cuisines of the World, and can adapt to your tastes and dietary restrictions.

The pictures and lists below will give you ideas of the type of individual items we can propose so you can start building your own “menu”.

Beyond the individual items, you will need to tell us which type of service you expect so we can calculate an overall estimate for you. The service style, the potential use of a kitchen at the venue, and the staff needed for your event will influence the price. See our budget page for more details.
