Yes. Resto Plateau provides a turnkey catering service for events from 20 to 1,000 guests across Greater Montréal — whether for a single day or several consecutive days.

Our package includes:

• Meal preparation (breakfast, coffee break, lunch, cocktail, etc.)

• Coordinated delivery to your site

• Dishware and equipment rental if needed

• On-site service staff (setup, platter and bar service, cleanup, etc.)

We are frequently selected as the caterer for conferences, conventions, and corporate events in Montréal — particularly by organizations seeking a blend of quality, logistical precision, and social and environmental responsibility. With our personalized, reliable support, you save time, avoid surprises, and offer your guests a seamless, delicious, and meaningful experience.

Sustainability and eco-responsibility are central to everything we do — both in our catering service and throughout our organization. Here are some of the initiatives available for your event, depending on your needs:

• Real dishware available for rental

• Reusable lunch boxes and meal bowls

• 100% vegetarian or vegan menus possible

• Electric delivery trucks

• Locally sourced and seasonal ingredients whenever possible

• Compost management at your event

• Leftovers management (anti-waste containers or donations)

• Homemade beverages served in glass dispensers (cocktails, mocktails, lemonade)

In 2023, our organization earned “Level 1 Écoresponsable Certification” from Ecocert, and we aim to achieve Level 2 by the end of 2025.

Discuss your needs with our team — we love talking about our sustainable practices! And of course, all without compromising on taste.

Resto Plateau is an impact-driven caterer: our catering service is the economic arm of a non-profit organization. 100% of the profits from your orders are reinvested into our social missions:

• Fighting food insecurity through our community restaurant (operated by separate teams and facilities from the catering service)

• Supporting the socio-professional reintegration of people distant from the job market, through certified training in culinary assistance

In practice, your events are prepared by a team of professional chefs and cooks, supported by trainees in reintegration programs — all in strict compliance with Québec’s MAPAQ food safety standards.

With us, you’re serving food that’s good, beautiful… and meaningful.

Our menu is designed to please all your guests — omnivores, vegetarians, vegans, and gluten-free eaters alike. We can provide fully vegetarian or vegan menus, with varied options for single or multi-day events.

Each order comes with clearly labeled display cards indicating dish names and whether they are vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free — allowing guests to make informed choices without needing to ask.

In the kitchen, we strictly follow MAPAQ sanitary standards and take all necessary precautions to avoid cross-contamination.

We can accommodate:

• Guests with allergies, illnesses, or food intolerances that pose a health risk

• Vegetarian or vegan diets

However, for production reasons, we cannot accommodate dietary preferences tied to specific regimens (e.g. keto, paleo, Dukan, Atkins, raw food, etc.).

💡 Important note: As an artisanal kitchen (not industrial), and in accordance with MAPAQ requirements, we cannot guarantee the absolute absence of allergen traces in our dishes.

To make your reception easier, we deliver ready-to-serve platters with descriptive labels. These indicate dish names and whether they are vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free — helping your guests navigate easily.

We also provide, at no extra cost, napkins and serving utensils.

For complete peace of mind, you can opt for on-site service. Our professional team will handle the delivery, setup, food and/or drink service, continuous station management, and cleanup at the end of your event.

We deliver to Montréal, Laval, and several South Shore municipalities, including Brossard, Boucherville, Longueuil, Saint-Hubert, Saint-Lambert, Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville, Sainte-Julie, and Saint-Basile-le-Grand.

Delivery fees are calculated individually to reflect the logistics of each order — considering factors such as distance, volume, and delivery day.

We have our own fleet of vehicles and a delivery team.
All logistics are coordinated in advance so your order arrives smoothly and on time.

Please let us know of any details that can facilitate delivery (elevator, parking, stairs, access route, room number or name, etc.).

Contact us for a precise estimate or to confirm if we serve your event location.

Yes, we offer reusable dishware and equipment rental tailored to your event needs — practical, eco-friendly, and cost-effective.

Our prices are competitive with standard rental companies, but with fewer constraints such as:

• Minimum order thresholds

• Insurance or waiver fees

• Complex return conditions (rinsing, etc.)

With Resto Plateau, you benefit from an integrated service with transparent, fair pricing — saving time, reducing waste, and simplifying logistics while staying on budget.

To avoid food waste, several options are available:

• Bring your own containers (your event advisor will remind you)

• Add compostable containers to your order so guests or staff can take leftovers home

• Donate unopened items that have maintained proper refrigeration to our community restaurant, contributing to our mission against food insecurity

The choice is yours! Talk it over with our team.

Yes! You can benefit from our liquor license, provided that alcoholic beverages are purchased through us.

We can also handle your entire beverage service, offering alcoholic and non-alcoholic options for all budgets: preselected wines, local microbrewery beers, ciders, sparkling wines, and our signature homemade cocktails, mocktails, and lemonades — elegantly served in glass dispensers.

These fees cover the planning and coordination work carried out by our team before and during the event: communications with you and subcontractors (e.g. service staff, equipment rentals), handling unforeseen issues, and on-site coordination.

In short, they ensure a structured, responsive, and high-quality service from your first call to final cleanup.

Our calendar fills up quickly! Contact us as early as possible so we can pre-book your date, advise you, and adjust your quote over time.
