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.
