Questions
Montreal catering questions, answered
Planning, pricing, kosher kitchens and what happens on the day.
What is a cocktail dînatoire?
A standing reception where the passed and stationed bites add up to a full meal, so guests do not need a sit-down dinner afterward. It is the most popular format for 5 à 7s and engagement parties in Montreal.
Does David cook at my event?
Yes. For cocktail parties and private dinners David cooks and serves on site, in your kitchen if you like, and stays through the evening so everything runs smoothly. Corporate lunches are delivered ready to serve.
Can you cook a kosher meal in my kitchen?
Yes. David has cooked kosher Shabbat dinners in clients' own kitchens so the meal stays fully kosher. Tell us your requirements when you request a quote.
Which areas of Montreal do you cater?
All of Greater Montreal, including Westmount, Hampstead, Côte-Saint-Luc, Town of Mount Royal, downtown offices and the West Island. If your event is farther out, ask and we will tell you what is possible.
How much does catering cost in Montreal?
Every event is quoted individually. Corporate lunches have a minimum of 10 people, and cocktail parties and private dinners are priced per event. You receive a personalized quote within 24 to 48 hours.
What is a 5 à 7?
A 5 à 7 is the Montreal after-work cocktail hour, usually held from 5 to 7 pm. For a catered 5 à 7, David serves passed bites and boards so guests can mingle with a drink in hand.
Can you work around allergies and dietary needs?
Every menu is built for the event, so tell us about allergies, vegetarian guests and other needs in your request and David will plan the menu around them.
