Christmas dinner, without the kitchen.

From Christmas Eve to the office party, December is the month everyone wants to host and nobody wants to cook. Our chef’s team prepares the festive menu fresh and finishes it on site, our waiters serve every course, and the table is set before your guests arrive and cleared after they leave.

Choose the festive seated dinner, a canapé reception for a standing party, or both. One proposal, one price per guest, sent within 24 hours.
