Saying that the team at Elle Cuisine goes above and beyond expectations would be the understatement of the year. We first got introduced to Elle Cuisine organizing an event for our team of over 300 people, in the summer of 2014. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable and we still hear compliments about the catering until this day! I personally still dream of the summer orzo salad.... After a few overwhelmingly positive experiences with Elle since then, we hired them on to cater our holiday party last year, for over 450 guests. Planning the details leading up to the day was enjoyable. The team always got back to us almost immediately and addressed concerns with solutions. The menu was prepared to fit with our theme and even the entire staff was on board to wear masquerade masks to fit our theme! However, Elle REALLY proved themselves as extremely professional when the person we hired as a decorator turned out to be a fraud, and never showed up on the day of the event. After calling several times, it was clear that we had to come up with a plan B. Without hesitation, Elle stepped up to the plate and helped us figure out the entire décor in less than four hours. All hands on deck - they assembled a team that focused on getting the job done - from going out to purchase items, to standing on ladders to hang up décor. And the best part about this was that they wanted to help and wanted to see our event be a success. Guests gave us overwhelmingly positive feedback, mentioning that this event will go down in history. And we have Elle to thank for that! I will continue using Elle and definitely recommend this caterer to anyone looking for delicious food and excellent service! read more

Elle Cuisine did a fantastic job at arranging an interactive cooking class and private dinner at home for my husband's birthday. I was worried about finding a company that would cater to a small group of 2 people but Elle Cuisine was very accommodating. Elle brought one chef and one wait staff. It was such a treat to sit in front of the fire in our home and be served delicious hors d'oeuvres - ultimate crab cakes, wild mushroom and truffle bruschetta- as well as frequent refills of champagne. Everything was perfectly customized. We worked together on designing the dinner menu - smoked butternut squash and ontario apple soup, caramelized branzino and a flourless dark chocolate torte for dinner. For the cooking class, we sipped some wine and did a bunch of the cooking ourselves. The cooking class was fun and easy to follow. Crystal did an amazing job explaining her techniques and allowing us to participate. The chef then plated the finished meal for us to enjoy. And of course, Elle brings all of its own pots, pans and rentals so you don't have to clean a single dish! The whole evening was such a treat and my husband was blown away by the surprise birthday dinner. I would certainly use Elle Cuisine again for my next event - big or small. read more

Elle Cuisine is probably THE best caterer in Toronto. The food and the staff can not be beat. We have used Elle Cuisine for multiple in home private functions as well as my own wedding. We had around 195 guests plus vendors who they had to cook for as well. All I can say is that I have never heard so many people (everyone) compliment the food, especially at a wedding, that is rare. I had passed appetizers for cocktail hour, then a 4 course meal. At 11:00pm I also had two late night stations. Everyone went crazy for all of the food. Lauren (Owner/Chef) and Carolee (Director of Events) were involved so meticulously from the beginning of me planning my wedding right to the end. I will never use another caterer in Toronto ever again. Elle Cuisine is reliable, professional and their dishes are always new, tasty, fun, and beautifully presented no matter how many people they are serving. Elle Cuisines integrity is never lost no matter what the food requests are, or how challenging you are as a client. If I could have them cook for me everyday, I would happily accept. Love, love, love them! read more

Elle Cuisine catered our wedding in May of 2015 and their level of customer service, food quality and professionalism rests at the highest plateau. The incredible journey began when we decided to give Elle Cuisine a shot at catering our very specific wedding menu, which we had delivered to them weeks before. My wife and I were seated and treated like a VIP-diner in a restaurant while our five course meal was served to us for tasting. Not only was each bite delectable, but Elle Cuisine was open to suggestions when we thought something could have been further elevated. The highlight of our meal was the Monkfish Taco with dueling hot sauces! On the day of the wedding, the quality did not waver from our tasting experience and the servers were incredibly helpful, bubbly and courteous with all of our guests - all the while keeping the food coming out to guests at a great pace. Overall, the lasting message should be that Elle Cuisine catered (ha) to our every need, and did it very, very well. read more

We were given the gift of a catered dinner for four in our home by Elle Cuisine From the moment our chef, Crystal, walked through the door we were impressed. Not only did she prepare us an outstanding meal, but she was also professional, friendly and courteous in every way. I don't know how she managed to put together such a beautiful and delicious dinner without using anything but the stove in our kitchen. She even unloaded my dishwasher and put everything away before she left! We truly felt pampered in every way and it was such a treat to throw an elegant dinner party without lifting a finger. We hope to have the opportunity to use your services again. In the meantime, thank you for an evening to remember. read more

As a Montrealer I am pretty arrogant about food, especially when going to a friend's birthday party in Toronto. Seriously, Food: Toronto. As a Montrealer, you can all appreciate that those are not words I think of as going together. But WOW! The spread these guys laid out for my friend's humble 60th birthday was incredible. The beef, the desserts, everything. From start to finish, and that's not even including the beautiful layout on the dining room table. Everything about these guys was top notch. And I'm NOT saying "top notch, by Toronto standards". No, I'm saying top of the line, PERIOD. If you need a caterer, Bar/Bat Mitzvah, wedding, birthday party, whatever, these guys are REALLY class and quality in all facets. read more

Our company contracted Elle Cuisine to provide catering services for our Open House in November, 2015, for approximately 300 guests over a 6 hour period and we were extremely pleased with the service, quality of the food, and attention to detail. The reviews on the food were amazing, and it is not just the attention to detail on the day of the event, but the assistance, menu tasting, etc., prior to the event itself. They were most helpful, extremely cooperative, and their service staff were wonderful. Thank you for helping to make our Open House an event to remember - although this was our first time using Elle Cuisine's services, it will not be the last! See you next year! read more

My wife has been to numerous functions where Elle has catered and raved about it. On her birthday, when she wasn't feeling well enough to go out, I was able to arrange a special catered dinner at our house. It meant so much to her to be able to enjoy an evening with family and friends in the comfort of home. I was blown away with the service, high quality of food and innovative menu that came out of my very own kitchen. Thank you so much for the memorable evening! Would highly recommend Elle and look forward to next time. read more

Elle is probably the tastiest and most creative caterers in the city. I had the head chef (Lauren) over to my house the other night to cater a dinner party, her steak was out of this world, and her blueberry cheesecake dessert was like nothing I've ever tasted. Very professional. Would hire again without question. Thanks Lauren! read more
