Whether it’s for a wedding, a large family gathering, an intimate dinner at home with friends, or an office party, hiring a caterer is always a great idea. Highly skilled chefs bring their kitchens to the location of your choice and unleash their creativity as if you were dining in a restaurant. Looking for a catering experience that highlights local and seasonal ingredients? Here are 10 caterers recognized by the Aliments du Québec au menu program who promise to impress with their “locavorized” offerings.
Chaudière-Appalaches
Gourmet cold buffets are the specialty at Plaisirs à table! Expect sandwiches made with artisan breads, Quebec cheese and charcuterie platters, fresh salads, and sweet treat assortments that will delight your guests. Their classic, comforting recipes appeal to everyone. Think of them for lunch boxes, Christmas buffets, cocktail receptions, and weddings.
Centre-du-Québec
With its turnkey catering services (canapés, lunch boxes, buffets, full menus, and more) and fresh or frozen ready-to-eat meals from the gourmet shop, L’Odika can meet your needs for events or everyday dining.

Hiring a breakfast specialist caterer for a corporate morning event, team meeting, or weekend brunch with friends and family? Brilliant idea! Let Les Brunchs de Mathieu handle the organization and cooking so you can enjoy the most convivial and indulgent meal of the day. Chef-crafted brunches are delivered to your home or office in eco-chic boxes or buffet style, with or without service. Sweet or savory — Quebec eggs and potatoes, French crêpes, seasonal sweet or savory pies, and homemade madeleines — everything is prepared in-house.
Outaouais
Whether for weddings, catering services, ready-to-eat meals, corporate events, or conferences, Les Flavoureux delivers professional service using products from a sustainable economy.

And above all, their dishes are gourmet and delicious!
Capitale-Nationale
What can you expect from an artisan charcutier offering private chef and event catering services? A memorable gourmet experience! The chef focuses on Boreal flavors to create farm-to-table meals using fresh, local products in collaboration with regional farmers and producers. Discover the world of Un cochon dans la ville and taste the difference of thoughtful, responsible cuisine — complemented by their specialty: 100% artisan charcuterie.
Laurentides
Chef Marc-Antoine B. Lessard offers three ways to experience his local and wild cuisine: a six-course menu, a four-course menu, or shared plates. In every case, expect terroir-inspired flavors presented like edible works of art. Among his favorite ingredients is local asparagus, sometimes served with cucumber, dandelion crème fraîche, beetroot, and Quebec black walnuts.
Lanaudière
A caterer that welcomes you at its exceptional site in Joliette, at partner venues across Lanaudière, or at the location of your choice. Whether for a romantic, rustic, or urban wedding — or any personal or corporate event — you’re guaranteed a distinguished meal highlighting local flavors. In addition to dinner menus, La Distinction offers brunch catering, late-night buffets (perfect for all-night wedding celebrations), cocktail receptions, and lunch boxes. From game terrine and beet pressé to lobster bisque and cranberry granita, their cuisine is irresistible.
Mauricie
The chef at Fredélys offers two specially designed menus to excite your taste buds and provide a colorful culinary experience. Will you choose the Carré menu or the Mycologique? The first highlights wild meats such as red deer and wild boar with forest spices, while the second features mushrooms across six courses. A culinary tour de force that beautifully combines creativity and high-quality ingredients.
