Bringing The Restaurant To YouCatering

Simply Gourmet is here to bring the restaurant to you and your guests.

In-home entertaining is a hot trend in the city of Calgary. We would rather invite friends over than dine out at an expensive restaurant, receive average service, mediocre food and be rushed out.

  • Do you love to entertain but are tired of spending the night in the kitchen?
  • Are you planning a party or special event but don’t want to pay for a high priced large catering company or dine out at an expensive restaurant?
  • Are you hosting a corporate event and want food that will impress your clients?
  • Are you planning an intimate Wedding and want a more personalized approach to the catering?
  • Wanting a unique way to celebrate the Christmas or Thanksgiving holidays?
  • Don’t need a chef or you are on a tight budget? We can do a drop off service…no problem!

Have Simply Gourmet cater your special event. Servicing Calgary and the surrounding areas.

Catering Services

You love dining out in Calgary but there’s something about staying home that appeals more. Having friends over in the comfort of our homes is far more enjoyable than dining in a busy, loud restaurant where you only get to talk to the person next to you.

But, let’s face it, cooking for a crowd is a lot of work! Simply Gourmet takes care of it all for you. Whether it’s choosing from our catering drop off packages or having us cater your full event, we have got you covered!

 

Think of Simply Gourmet as bringing the restaurant to your home. We create a unique menu for you to choose from, completely catered to your preferences and budget. All the details are taken care of, from setting the table and serving, to wine pairings and full clean up. Simply sit back and enjoy!

Drop-off Catering Services

  • Not able to get into your favorite restaurant due to limited seating?
  • Miss bonding with your friends over dinner and drinks?
  • Wanting to socialize within your small social circle in the comfort of your home?

We get it, connection is so important and for centuries humans have connected over food.

Simply Gourmet is offering drop off gourmet meals.

We will prepare off-site an elegant 3-4 course dinner that will be delivered to your home. You can share a night of dinner and drinks together in the comfort of your home.

I Look Forward to Working With You Again
“Aelie thank you for everything. I must say that you ‘wowed’ me. You exceeded my expectations from the first time we talked to when we wrapped up the evening. You were very proactive, responded to all my questions very quickly and didn't hesitate to accommodate my needs. The appetizers were delightful and our guests are raving about the selection and presentation. Thank you for making my husbands 40th birthday a very memorable experience. I look forward to working with you again at future functions.”

Everything Was Fabulous
“I hired Aelie to ‘chef’ for a friend’s 50th birthday party. Everything was fabulous! I met with Aelie at my home days before the event so we could both know each other and finalize the details. She prepared the menu, with consultation from me; well in advance… Aelie is professional, courteous and an excellent Chef. I will use her services again and I recommend her with my full confidence!”
