Mouton Noir Traiteur Centreville

Start by discussing your event date, expected guest count, dietary restrictions, and whether you need full service (food, setup, staffing) or food-only delivery. Since they require direct contact for pricing, having these details ready will help them provide accurate quotes and determine if they can accommodate your event within their operating schedule.

Mouton Noir operates Monday-Friday only and is closed Saturday-Sunday, so weekend events are not possible. Before booking, request their cancellation and modification policies in writing, including deposit terms and refund conditions, as these details aren't listed on their standard information.

When you contact them, provide a detailed list of all dietary requirements (allergies, vegetarian, vegan, religious restrictions, etc.) and ask them to confirm in writing how they'll manage these during food preparation and service. Request information about their food handling protocols and ingredient sourcing to verify alignment with specific dietary needs.

Call ahead at +1 514-458-9000 to discuss availability and booking lead times, as catering availability often depends on kitchen capacity and staffing. Generally, Montreal caterers benefit from 2-4 weeks' notice for larger events, though they may accommodate shorter timelines depending on current demand.

Yes—clarify upfront whether gratuity, service charges, delivery fees, setup fees, or staffing costs are included in the per-person catering quote. Request an itemized estimate that breaks down all costs, as catering invoices can quickly exceed initial quotes when additional services are added.

Ask whether they've worked with your specific venue before and if they understand any kitchen access, timing, or equipment limitations. Clarify who provides serving utensils, warming equipment, and tables, as some venues require caterers to bring their own equipment, adding complexity and potential costs.
