Bespoke Mediterranean-Inspired Catering Menus

The culinary soul of Saint Malo lies in its Mediterranean-inspired, Spanish-accented menus. The team is dedicated to the belief that simple, great food creates the most lasting impressions. They craft dishes that honor classic recipes while embracing contemporary presentation and the finest local produce. Every menu is a collaboration between the client and the culinary team, ensuring the food not only tastes exquisite but also reflects the theme and dietary needs of the event.

Tailored Event Packages

No two events are the same, which is why a rigid, one-size-fits-all menu does not exist here. Instead, Saint Malo offers fully customizable packages. For a corporate luncheon, this might mean elegant canapés and substantial bowl food. For a wedding, it could involve a multi-course seated feast with beautifully plated entrees, mains, and desserts. The team excels at adapting their classic dishes—think perfectly cooked octopus, authentic tapas, and stunning rice dishes—into formats suitable for any service style, from butler-passed hors d'oeuvres to interactive food stations.

Focus on Fresh, Quality Ingredients

A cornerstone of the Saint Malo promise is an unwavering commitment to quality. The kitchen sources fresh, seasonal ingredients to build every dish from scratch. This dedication ensures vibrant flavors and a genuine taste experience that stands out. Customers consistently praise the delicious food and generous portions, a testament to the kitchen’s belief that great catering is both an art and an act of hospitality. The team accommodates changes and specific requests readily, making each menu feel uniquely personal.

Flawless Service for Every Occasion

Exceptional food deserves exceptional service, and the Saint Malo team is meticulously trained to deliver just that. From the first inquiry to the final clean-up, the process is guided by a commitment to seamlessness and professionalism. The team understands that hosting an event can be stressful, so they strive to be effortlessly helpful, responsive, and proactive. Past clients have highlighted the approachable and accommodating nature of the planning team, noting how easy it was to communicate and make adjustments along the way.

This service-first mindset extends to every operational detail. For on-site venues, the setup is handled with care, ensuring tablescapes, lighting, and ambiance align with the vision. For off-site catering, a mobile kitchen and service front are established with the same high standards. The goal is to create an invisible layer of support—guests experience a flawless flow of food and drink, while behind the scenes, a well-orchestrated team ensures nothing is left to chance. This dedication transforms a meal into a truly memorable experience.
