Frequently asked
Formats, minimums, lead times, pricing, delivery, allergies and service — clear answers before you request your quote.
Formats & minimums
Three formats: drop-off catering (platters and boxes ready to serve), turnkey event catering (food, bar and service staff on site) and a private chef at home (Elie cooks at your place). A dedicated corporate service covers office lunches, buffets and cocktail receptions.
10 guests for delivery, 20 for full event service, and 4 for the private chef at home.
Drop-off means platters and menus delivered to you, ready to serve, with no staff. Event catering includes cooking on site, bar and service staff to handle the full logistics.

Chef's choice: you share the occasion, the group and any restrictions, and Elie composes a cohesive, seasonal Asian fusion menu. No long à-la-carte list to sift through.
Catering delivers or serves for groups; the private chef is an intimate experience where Elie cooks at your home, from 4 guests. For fewer than 10 people, the private chef is often the right choice.
