Common questions

What types of cuisine or menu styles does La Cena Traiteur typically offer?

While the vendor description emphasizes culinary expertise and customized menu options, you'll need to contact them directly at +1 514-507-2377 to review their specific cuisine specialties, signature dishes, and menu inspirations. Most Montreal caterers offer diverse options including French, Italian, Mediterranean, and contemporary cuisine—ask which aligns with their focus.

How far in advance should I book La Cena Traiteur for my event?

Catering services typically require 2-4 weeks minimum notice for standard events, though larger celebrations may need 6-8 weeks. Since business hours and booking policies aren't specified on their website, contact them early to confirm availability for your date and understand their lead time requirements and cancellation policies.

Are staffing and service included in the catering quote, or are those additional costs?

This varies significantly between caterers. Some include servers and bartenders, while others only provide food and equipment. Ask La Cena Traiteur specifically whether their pricing covers service staff, setup, cleanup, rentals (plates, linens, tables), and bar service—these often represent 30-40% of total catering costs.

Can La Cena Traiteur accommodate dietary restrictions like vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or allergies?

Most professional catering services accommodate special diets with advance notice. Contact them to discuss your guest list's dietary needs, and provide detailed information about allergies and restrictions when finalizing menus. Confirm they have protocols for preventing cross-contamination and clearly label dishes.

What's the typical pricing structure, and what should I budget for a catering event?

La Cena Traiteur requires contacting them for pricing quotes. Montreal catering typically ranges from $25-$60+ per person depending on menu complexity, service level, and event type. Request itemized quotes that break down food costs, staffing, rentals, and gratuity so you can compare fairly across vendors.

Does La Cena Traiteur provide tasting sessions before booking?

Many caterers offer tastings for larger events (50+ guests) or weddings, though some charge a fee applied toward your final bill. Ask about their tasting policy, whether samples are complimentary, and how to schedule one if you want to evaluate their food quality and presentation before committing.
