Toulouse Gourmet Menu
Great food, well done!
If you can think of it, we can create it…and chances are we already have!
We believe that menus should reflect each client’s needs from taste to budget.
We offer catering menus with local seafood, meats, produce and dairy, and we always use fresh seasonal products.
Our menu designs reflect simple, approachable, but always interesting food styles. Our chefs curate the best options and variety based on what products are in season and, with the sales team, they customize each menu based on the client’s budget.
We have created menus from diet-conscious to Mad Men themed. If you’ve got the concept, we can create the perfect menu to complement it.
