    We had a l'chaim for my son and future daughter in law in our backyard Sunday afternoon for 90 people. Encore catered. The food was delicious, plentiful and beautifully presented. Our guests included individuals who were strictly kosher, vegetarian and vegan. Encore was able to accommodate them all with equal style. The wait staff were thoughtful, engaging and very hard working. The bartender knowledgeable and charming. The supervisor Jane I would trust to run any event no matter how large or small. Many of my guests made inquiries about who the caterer was during the party and after in well wishes. A joyous milestone in our families life occurred simultaneously with the wonderful l'chaim party catered by Encore.

    Truly exceptional at what they do. More than just a catering company - they actually partnered with other vendors to help plan our wedding. The food was excellent and creative. The Toronto catering scene is competitive and Encore knows what it takes to continually adapt and stay on top. Thanks again for an amazing wedding experience!

    My team and I planned a large fundraising event that Encore Catering serviced. We had some last minute changes and they accommodated our requests. The support we received prior to the event and the day of the event was greatly appreciated - special shoutout to Jodi! Even though there was a lot going on, I had the chance to try the ravioli, maple salmon dish, and dessert squares - all were delicious. Their team went above and beyond to ensure our event ran smoothly and that our guests were well fed - thank you again to Cary, Connie, Jodi, and the entire team!

    Encore Catering provided food for a small work party and it was great! The food was all delicious, they were very accommodating with food allergies and provided signage for the menu. Working with their team was very easy and I would recommend.

    Encore just catered our 2nd annual Open House Customer Appreciation evening. And what a night it was. In just three hours this amazing team served hot and cold apps to more than 300 guests. Everyone raved about the food and service. A week later we were still receiving text, emails, and calls about the Encore team thank you Cary and team for making our event a huge success.

    My experience with Encore Catering was a great one. We needed a catering company for 50 people for my Dad's Surprise Birthday Party. Working with their team, they are reliable, very helpful, unique and accommodating. I personally worked with Magali who coordinated all of the transactions and she made the entire process seamless. She would constantly update our food menu so I could see different pricing options and she adhered to both my budget and dietary restrictions. Even last minute, I notified them that I needed an oven rental and they were patient and understanding and provided me with exceptional service. If you are in the need of a good caterer who provides both quality service and food, this is the place to go.

    Encore Catering really exceeded all expectations for our event. I was seriously blown away by the process, support, service and staff provided and heard nothing but great things from all of our guests regarding all food served. They went above and beyond to ensure the event was successful, especially beyond the contract described. They've earned my trust, and I highly recommend them for those on the fence or thinking of looking for catering services. I will definitely reach out again in the future and recommend Encore to all my friends, family, and corporate/company events. Thank you so much for supporting our day!

    We recently had Encore Catering cater our Harvey Kalles Real Estate holiday party for 230 people. The food was amazing! And David was so helpful in creating a memorable menu. We would 100% recommend Encore Catering. Delicious and tons of great feedback from our guests.

    Amazing experience with Encore Catering! We've ordered from them for MULTIPLE corporate occasions with a variety of group sizes and they have never cease to amaze us. Excellent flavouring of their hot dish items, salads are always fresh, desserts are unique, kudos to the chef! Plus their hot food comes really well kept, fresh and hot as though it was made in person. Love the fact that their menu is accommodating to dietary restrictions and is also stated under each dish. The representative I've been communicating with is excellent with customer and quick to respond. Many thanks to them for satisfying all our catering needs. Definitely highly recommend for any event!

    Encore Catering has become a part of our family over the last 15 years. This is because everything they do is outstanding and I know if I'm having an event, whether private or corporate, big or small, in my home or at a venue, or even just a dinner for 10+ people or a BBQ in the backyard, I can rely on them 100%. Food is always plentiful, delicious and beautifully presented & served; staff is always so professional and adds such fun to our events; and everyone at Encore head office are always so helpful when helping me plan whatever it is I am planning. They take the time to go over every detail, work with my budget, make excellent suggestions, and they really care. They are our "go-to" caterers and I would recommend them to anyone & everyone!

    Our dinner from Encore was excellent! The portions were large, and the food was delicious. There were leftovers for the next day. The desserts came on a tray with different choices to suit individual tastes. Our last word: we realized that Encore had catered a large wedding for one of the family, about 6 years ago. We are now an "Encore" family.

    Carey, you managed to do it again!!! You saved the day for us by sending the "emergency" Seder plate! Carey, you and your excellent team as once again wowed our guests this Passover 2023. The food tasted as if it was made on the spot! It was delicious. Seconds and thirds were happening throughout dinner. Seriously, you have always managed to be the BEST Caterer Toronto has ever had. Your many years in the business have never altered the excellence you have reached and maintained. Thank you so much for always giving your best to our family, and I know of many others too! Chag Sameah and always best wishes for you and yours! Leslie and Marvin Kirsh

  • 5/5 Greg and B. 1 year ago on Google
    ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS! We found Encore Catering online and hired them to cater our New Year's Eve event at our home. Wow! It was a bit last minute so all the arrangements were made via email or phone and we had to trust the reviews about the quality of the food. We took a chance...and won. A friend described it best in his 'thank you' note to us... "I don't know if you have used this catering service before, but it was just fabulous - the food was great, the servers were absolutely amazing. They were all over the place without ever being in the way...and very friendly." Thank you Encore Catering for making our gathering a huge success! You are now our go-to caterer for future events.

    I arrived to a small corporate onsite event I was supporting and quickly learned catering for the week hadn't been taken care of yet. Encore Catering was a lifesaver, as they were flexible with me and willing to accommodate our breakfast needs two days later. They arrived exactly when we requested, provided vegan muffins for our vegan eaters, and packaged everything securely. Tasty too!

  • 5/5 Evan S. 1 year ago on Google
    Thank you Encore for helping make our wedding day special. Throughout the entire planning process Cary, David and Sonia were incredible and easy to work with. There were no surprises. The food we tried in our tasting was incredible and was exactly the same for our event. All of our guests raved about the food. We would be happy to work with you again in the future!

    If you are looking for catering, you have come to the right place! Book now; you will not be sorry! We first contacted Encore several months ago about hosting a small, multi-part event in our backyard. To say that we were delusional about what goes into planning such an event is an understatement! In under 12 hours since first contact, the owner Cary was on the phone with us and came out to our house the next day to scope out our backyard. He patiently walked us through the associated costs from food, to staffing, to rentals. We never felt pressured to make a decision or spend money; this left us with a great feeling of trust. After deciding to move forward, Encore created two amazing menus for our double event party. We split things up with afternoon and evening affairs, and Cary provided excellent suggestions about what sort of food would be appropriate for each (hand-helds for the afternoon, and substantials for the evening). They immediately accommodated any dietary restrictions, providing separate meals and making sure that the suggested meals fit within the dietary confines of our guests. There was no stress at all when it came to communication and planning; it was tons of fun! The actual events were a smashing success! The staff arrived early, quickly set everything up, and Cary even stopped by to make sure that everything running smoothly. The food was INCREDIBLE! We had not done any tastings beforehand, but rest assured, none were needed, because the food really was that great (get the beef empanadas!). Our guests were complementing the food throughout the night. The staff were extremely friendly and warm, seamlessly integrating into the party. There was no awkward feeling that sometimes comes up with staff at events - the Encore crew was awesome! At the end of the evening they packed away all of the leftovers and cleaned up everything spotlessly! We didn't want them to leave! Thank you so much to the Encore crew for all of your help! And a special thank you for the waffles (it was a huge hit!)

    David and Encore Catering are phenomenal and I will be booking them for all future occasions big or small. My first experience with Encore was at the “Tasting” and I was throughly impressed not only with the food but how passionate David and his team were about catering events. My daughter’s Bat Mitzvah was a bit unique because it was an outdoor setting without a proper kitchen, but Encore Catering was outstanding and paid attention to every small detail to ensure our event went off smoothly. He stayed for most of the event to check in with his staff and to ensure everything was set up properly. The feedback we received from guests was amazing on both the appetizers and the food stations. I would highly recommend David for any event you are planning in the future. Brian and Tracey Ziedenberg

    This is the second time I have used Encore Catering for a family event. Wonderful from from the start. The planning was simplified by their suggestions. There was immediate follow-up on related services. The staff at the event were professional and warm. The food, including the presentation, was excellent. Thank you Encore for a great party,.

  • 5/5 jasmine m. 1 year ago on Google
    Encore was one of the most impressive vendors we worked with for our small intimate wedding. The team was wonderful and the food was GREAT! The tasting was very important and we are so glad that it was offered. We had a few obstacles we needed to work through but the encore team made it seamless. Everyone loved the food and the service was wonderful. Thank you thank you thank you Encore

    Encore Catering is truly one of the best in Toronto!! Great service from start to finish and always such tasty food. They are now my go to when it comes to our in-office lunches, brunches, and they have always been especially accommodating to our specific needs. Often our lunches come with a theme! And they never hesitate to create a custom menu that makes the process 10 times easier for me! The latest one was for St. Patrick's Day including Guinness beef pop tarts!! Yum!!

🫤 It's not horrible, but it's not great either. They put too much sauce in the shawarma, causing the wrap to become messy or wet. It's merely so-so for the half-rice, half-fries on the rocks. But I like that they stay true to the spiciness level, however I do notice a slight bitterness, which I'm not...
