I hired Encore Catering to cater my backyard wedding in 2019. After two years of waiting due to the pandemic, we were finally able to celebrate. David and Magali are the two individuals that I worked with and… they stuck by me and with me for the entire journey. They worked with me when my wedding was 180 people, then dropped to 50 and back up to 100.
I worked with a few vendors who made mistakes along the way and on the day of the wedding but David and his team did not let that stop them from making an incredible meal for our wedding. I’m so grateful for the Encore team! Not only

Encore catered our daughter's and son in laws magnificent tented wedding at an outdoor venue on Aug 29/2021. They are extremely professional, competent, and very easy to work with. We are still receiving rave reviews about the quality of the appetizers, main dishes and extras throughout the night. The portions were beyond and all of our guests were totally satisfied. We were overwhelmed with calls, texts and emails from our guests about the quality of everything mentioned above. We were required to provide kosher food for certain of our guests and they too were extremely satisfied. If you

Best decision ever, ordering Thanksgiving dinner from Encore Catering. With COVID it just seemed too much work to cook so many foods for our family of four. Ordered instead online and had a beautiful… traditional Thanksgiving meal - couldn’t have made it better myself. And certainly 20 minutes to reheat can’t be beat!
Easy online ordering and delivery right to my door!

Very disappointed in what was to have been a special birthday celebration. It seems we were deemed second class as a wedding in the Bridal Path area on the previous day meant resources for our event were secondary. Food was mediocre and staff were exhausted from the previous day. I do not recommend.

Encore was a amazing to work with. The scope of my event changed several times and Brittney took extra care to understand these changes as well as work within my cost parameters. She also made some excellent recommendations for menu items that blew our guests away.

The onsite staff were beyond perfect. The professionalism and attention to every detail made our party perfect.

I have some specific food allergies and Encore took great care to ensure we had a fabulous menu and no cross contamination. They are as good as it gets!

My favourite catering company for all events and meetings. My company was only ordering boring sandwiches from places that were bland and unappealing for guests. Decided on a whim to try out Encore and have never looked back since. Excellent meal choices, and great recommendations by staff. Always on time and always helpful throughout the process. Completely blows a lot of catering companies in Toronto out of the water.

Encore catered my company's holiday party and their food is bomb!
We had a variety of stations with finger foods brought around.
The perogie station was great with a variety of vegetarian toppings and really tender pulled pork. I can eat the toppings by the bucket!
They also had custom theme stations like poke, noodle bar and Korean fusion. All the Asian options taste authentic with options like beef short rib baos and kim chi fries. The fries were crispy for the first hour, got a lil soggy towards the end, but still very good.
The passed horderves were all dainty and pretty. The caesar salad

I've used Encore Catering for many years and they only get better. My functions have ranged from 10 to 45 people, buffet style and plated sit down dinners. My guests and I are always impressed with the food, presentation, and service. I highly recommend this company.

I was invited to a media event in Aug. 2015 to sample what the catering company has to offer, and was blown away from the presentation, attention to detail and the taste of the food.

Encore catering is a full-service off premise caterer covering weddings, corporate gatherings and other special occasions. Encore averages about 1000 events a year and had experience with managing over 1500 people at a formal dinner.

They have a 10, 000 square feet industrial kitchen at their main location and another kitchen at the Beth Tzedec Synagogue, as they also offer Kosher catering. They will work with their

I hired Encore Food with Elegance to cater for my wife's 50th birthday party. We had about 40 people. I I found all the staff at Encore to be helpful, attentive and professional. Details of our event were seamlessly passed from one staff to another. Everyone seemed to be on the same page.
As to the food: We received nothing but compliments from many, many of our guests for our choices which to be honest, were guided entirely by David Silber (Owner?). The servers at the party were very professional and the small glitches that resulted from our own forgetfulness were handled deftly by the

Catered at our condo.
All I can say is the steaks they barbecued were unchewable.
The worst steak I have ever eaten.
Most steaks were left uneaten after a few bites, as I looked around to see who chose steaks.
They should be ashamed of using what I perceive to be such poor quality.
These had to be economy prices cuts of meat,

I loved it. I went to their open house and was simply blown away

Pros
+ DECOR: they aptly redecorated their large scale industrial kitchen to be fitting of a social function
+ FOOD: great selection of appetizers, modern drinks (courtesy of bar chief) and desserts (burnt cheesecake, macarons & olive oil ice cream with made in house grape fruit candies)
+ TAKE HOME: a lovely take home gift of a homemade cookie, rose and other complimentary kitchen tools (a wine bottle opener, if my memory serves me correctly).

Con's
