12 caterers for a wedding in Brussels, from the fine dining menu to world cuisines.

12 approved caterers 14 criteria 7 cities
See the 12 caterers Find my style first

12 caterers cover Brussels: 4 are set up there, in Brussels city and Etterbeek, and 8 come from Froidchapelle, Gembloux, Lavoir or Lede. The menu, for its part, looks like the city: 9 present themselves as fine dining, but 7 do world cuisine, 7 Mediterranean, 6 Italian, 6 vegetarian, 6 halal and 4 Afro. This is the area where the question "which cuisine?" really does come up, and where it should be asked on the first call. The rest, in Brussels, comes down to the venue's kitchen and access from the street.

What cuisine do you have in mind?

The style of menu is the real filter here: say it before you talk budget.

Or by province

4 are based in Brussels, 8 come from a neighbouring province. In this trade, travelling is normal.

How to choose your caterer in Brussels

  1. 1The venue kitchen before the menuMany Brussels venues only have a service pantry, not a real kitchen. Ask the caterer what they finish on site and what arrives already cooked.
  2. 2The truck has to park tooNarrow street, double parked delivery, gear returned after midnight: get it clear who books the parking space with the town hall.
  3. 3Halal, vegetarian: say it on the first call6 caterers out of 12 offer a halal menu and 6 a vegetarian one. It is not a last minute option, it changes the whole kitchen.
  4. 4“Gourmet” does not say much9 out of 12 describe themselves that way. Ask instead for the menu actually served last month, with the number of courses and the staff planned.
  5. 5The 8 who come from elsewhereFroidchapelle, Gembloux, Lavoir, Lede: travel is billed and it sets the time service ends. Have both quoted together.

The five questions to ask before the tasting

  • Do you cook on site, or do you deliver dishes already prepared?
  • Have you already worked in our venue, and do you know its kitchen?
  • How many people front of house and in the kitchen do you plan for our number of guests?
  • How do you handle halal menus, vegetarian menus and allergies in the same service?
  • How late do you stay, and who clears up and takes the equipment away?

What it costs

Count between 60 € and 150 € per person for a full meal, with drinks most often billed separately.

What's moving right now

  • ·The seated meal shrinks in favour of a long cocktail dinner.
  • ·The vegetarian menu is no longer an alternative but a full menu in its own right.
  • ·World cuisines take over part of the meal rather than all of it.
  • ·Couples ask for a separate drinks quote, to decide clearly.

Choose the food before the room if you can

Filter on the style of menu, then ask for two or three complete quotes, service and drinks included. That is where the gaps show up.
