Office holiday party in Montreal 2026: catering, formats, budget
Everything you need to plan your team's holiday party: when to book, three catering formats, an Asian fusion holiday menu and a complete checklist. Signed by chef Elie.
Holiday party · Asian fusion · Montreal To plan an office holiday party in Montreal in 2026: book early (December dates go from November on), choose a format — festive lunch boxes, festive buffet, or a cocktail reception — and leave the holiday menu to Elie. Minimum 10 guests for delivery, 20 for full service. Same-business-day callback.
When to book
December dates go fast
The holiday calendar fills before everyone else's. Here's how to keep yours.
01
From November on
The first two weeks of December and every Friday book first. The moment your date is known, lock it in — even before the menu is settled.
02
4 to 6 weeks ahead
That's the sweet spot for your pick of format, menu and delivery window. Later still works, subject to availability.
03
Same-day callback
Send your request and Elie calls back the same business day. For a close date, call directly at (438) 533-1241.

From a standing cocktail reception to delivered festive lunches, pick the format that suits your team. Same signature: Elie's Asian fusion.

Checklist
Plan the party stress-free
Five things to settle for a smooth request and a great evening.
- 01 Guest count
Confirm a range early. It drives the format, the menu and the logistics. A final number can come later.
- 02 Venue: office or hall
Office with no kitchen? Lunch boxes or a cold buffet. A space with service wanted? A cocktail reception or served buffet.
- 03 The bar
Decide whether you want bar service — wine & beer or full bar — and whether it's run by you, the venue, or added to the quote.
- 04 Allergies & diets
List the team's allergies, intolerances and diets. Everything is built into the menu from the start and each dish is labelled.
- 05 Evening timing
Arrival time, service window, duration. We confirm the delivery or setup slot when you order.
When should I book catering for an office holiday party in Montreal?+
As early as possible. Early-December dates fill up from November on, and Fridays book first. Aim for 4 to 6 weeks ahead to keep your date; for a last-minute request, call us directly and Elie calls you back the same business day.
How much does an office holiday party cost per person?+
It depends on the format. Festive lunch boxes start around $24–32 per person, the festive buffet around $38–55, and the cocktail reception around $30–45. These are before tax and service; the final quote depends on the menu and guest count. Try the calculator for an estimate.
Can you accommodate a remote or hybrid team?+
Yes. Individual festive lunch boxes are ideal for remote or hybrid teams: each member receives their own boxed meal, delivered to the address of your choice. It's a simple way to bring everyone together around the same menu, even without a shared space.
Do you handle allergies and diets for the whole office?+
Yes. Allergies, intolerances and diets (vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free) are built into the menu from the design stage, even for large groups. Every dish is labelled and severe allergens are handled case by case. Flag them when you request a quote.
Our office has no kitchen — is that a problem for a holiday party?+
No. Festive lunch boxes and cold buffets arrive ready to serve, with no oven or refrigeration required on site. For a cocktail reception with hot dishes and service, we bring the necessary equipment.
Do you provide staff for the office party?+
Yes, for the cocktail reception and served buffet. On-site service staff handle setup, passing the bites and cleanup. Lunch boxes and cold buffets are delivered self-serve, without staff.
