Monterey Gourmet - Special Occasions

Over the past 24 years, Monterey Gourmet has become synonymous with the word quality. Our executive chef and catering staff have established a reputation for providing some of the most successful functions, from a casual dinner party for 8 to a wedding for 500.

By using the finest and freshest ingredients available, every menu item is expertly prepared to meet our high standards of excellence. Hors d'oeuvres are made by hand and prepared just before each function to ensure freshness. Sauces are naturally reduced and made without thickeners, preservatives, or flavor enhancers. Desserts are beautifully created by our pastry chef using all natural ingredients and even fresh flowers.

Our catering staff will give personal attention to every aspect of your catering needs. Rentals, china, linens, beer, wine, full bars, and servers are all coordinated for your convenience. Additionally, we offer free party planning and bridal consulting. Whether in your home, in a tent, or in a rented hall or mansion, every detail is professionally planned and supervised from conception to completion.

Monterey Gourmet provides a wonderful alternative to the traditional catered affair. Look for our specialty menus for holidays such as Valentine's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, and Passover.
