About Us

Great Traiteur: Passionate Culinary Creators Dedicated to Your Dinner

Great is a group of dedicated creators based at 10 Rue du Bassin Collecteur in Brussels, with a single motto: to do better than just good. The proof: more than thirty partner venues and six event formats.

What is a "Great" dinner?

A dinner at the Great focuses on two operational priorities: precise cooking and the timing of table service.

We do not work from a set menu. The meal’s composition is determined during a tasting session in our kitchen so that we can adjust the seasoning, plating, and wine pairings with our sommelier.

On the day of the event, the maître d' coordinates the kitchen and dining room teams to ensure that each table receives its hot dishes at the same time, adapting to speeches or presentations without causing any delays.

A catered dinner tailored to your event and your tastes

Each dinner is prepared according to your request. We’ll first discuss the number of guests, the schedule, and any technical constraints of your venue.

You can change your meal selections and quantities up to two weeks before the date.

For large events such as weddings, a tasting can be arranged upon request.

Our recipes feature fresh ingredients from local partners:

  • Fresh microgreens and urban oyster mushrooms grown in Brussels by Eclo
  • Organic grains and legumes from Hesbaye by Graines de Curieux
  • Artisanal fruit juices pressed by Pajottenlander
  • Fair-trade and organic coffee roasted by Torrefactory

Fresh, locally sourced ingredients prepared by our teams

Our chefs prepare the dishes in our Brussels kitchen and put the finishing touches on them at your event venue.

This direct management approach allows us to verify the freshness of the food and to apply food safety standards under the AFSCA Smile certification.

Since we don't use any subcontractors in the kitchen, we maintain control over the quality of the food and can respond quickly if anything unexpected comes up on the big day.

A dinner suitable for all dietary needs

During our preliminary discussions, you explain your needs and any specific dietary requirements to us. Our chefs prepare Good Food-certified alternatives without excluding anyone:

Comprehensive service from the estimate to the removal of debris

The organization of your meal follows a clear sequence:

  • Planning: Discussion of your needs, a potential site visit, and a detailed quote.
  • Finalization: approval of the menu, accompanying beverages, and schedule.
  • On the big day: Your maître d' will oversee the arrival of the staff, the serving of hot dishes, and the complete clearing of the dining room.

The Great Touch: Table Setting and Meticulous Tableware Arrangement

Table service includessetting up the necessary equipment. We provide and set out the linen tablecloths, dishes, silverware, and glasses.

The tables are arranged to leave enough space between the chairs and allow servers to move around easily during the meal.

What Our Customers Say About Their Dinner with Great

Our priority was to avoid any lulls between courses and to ensure the plates were served piping hot. Everything flowed very smoothly; the meats were very tender, and the maître d' perfectly coordinated the service with the entertainment provided by our witnesses.

The dinner was delicious, and the bilingual staff made it easy for us to interact with our international guests.

I gathered my loved ones for a birthday dinner. The portions were just right, the wine pairings worked perfectly, and the gluten-free meals were served without a single mistake. The staff was discreet and efficient.

The organization was flawless from the initial quote all the way through the waitstaff’s departure. The staff was friendly and efficient, and our colleagues really enjoyed the local dishes. It was a well-organized business lunch that saved us a lot of stress.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Cocktail Catering Services

How far in advance should you book a caterer for a dinner party?

For a wedding or a large weekend reception, it’s best to reserve your date a few months in advance. For a weekday corporate dinner or a small gathering, we can accommodate you within a few weeks, depending on our availability.

What is the average budget for a catered dinner with Great Traiteur?

The package includes the budget and a gourmet meal served at a table set up above the buffet: request your personalized quote.

Does Great Traiteur travel outside Brussels for a dinner event?

Yes. Our kitchen is located in Brussels, but our teams travel throughout Belgium, including Walloon Brabant, Flemish Brabant, Namur, Liège, and Hainaut. We bring our mobile cooking equipment and food-warming equipment with us.

Do you always offer a tasting before the meal?

No, the tasting session is not automatic: it is offered as an option, primarily for weddings or large banquets that require careful consideration of menu and wine pairings. For standard business dinners and private receptions, we rely on tried-and-true menu guides.

Do you handle the dishwashing and dining room service?

Yes. Our quotes include the provision of servers, chefs, and a maître d', as well as dishes, glasses, table linens, and cleanup at the end of the evening.
