Great Traiteur: The Magic of Winter Holidays at the Heart of Your Receptions
Located at 10 Rue du Bassin Collecteur in 1130 Brussels, our company handles your end-of-year receptions with customized menus, driven by the belief that every New Year’s Eve deserves to be a unique and memorable occasion.
Guided by our motto of “doing better than just good” and drawing on our strong Belgian roots, our teams put our status as an Artisan recognized by the Federal Public Service for the Economy and our 3-star “Eco-Dynamic Company” certification to work for your most wonderful winter celebrations.
The Great Way to Celebrate: Comfort, Generosity, and the Art of Hospitality
Celebrate Christmas with Great Traiteur and enjoy seasonal cuisine that puts a new spin on traditional holiday recipes.
Our seasonal festive menus are designed to offer a refined harmony of flavors, while remaining fully customizable to suit your preferences: each menu can be tailored to the theme of your event and the preferences of your guests, upon request.
For your large-scale events, our chefs invite a small group to sample the dishes and fine-tune the food-and-wine pairings before the festivities begin.
Local Delicacies for Christmas Recipes
Because haute cuisine is rooted in the freshness of raw ingredients, our chefs carefully select their festive ingredients from passionate local artisans and farmers:
- Products bearing the Good Food label and certified by the Artisan label of the Federal Public Service of Economy;
- Fresh microgreens and urban oyster mushrooms grown in Brussels by Eclo;
- Organic grains and legumes from Hesbaye, by Graines de Curieux;
- Artisanal local fruit juices pressed by Pajottenlander;
- Fair-trade and organic coffees, expertly roasted by Torrefactory.
An event accessible to every guest, regardless of their needs
A successful Christmas reception brings all your guests together without excluding anyone: we can accommodate every dietary need during our discussions, and our teams adapt without ever compromising on taste or the elegance of the presentation.
We cater to all dietary needs under our AFSCA-certified Smile food safety self-monitoring system:
From the first point of contact to the last drink: service thought out down to the smallest detail
To ensure your complete peace of mind throughout your celebration, Great Traiteur has designed a seamless, four-step support process:
- A Custom Quote: An initial consultation to understand your preferences, style, and party budget;
- The Dedicated Tasting: A private session to confirm the flavors and fine-tune the food-and-wine pairings before the big day;
- Coordination on the big day: Your dedicated maître d'hôtel oversees the dining room service, coordinates the delivery of hot dishes with the kitchen, and manages the schedule for speeches.
- Post-event wrap-up: a thoughtful follow-up after the celebrations to bring your project to a successful close.
Venue design and festive atmosphere: table setting and meticulous presentation of the tables
True to our promise to “surprise rather than simply satisfy,” Great Traiteur eschews impersonal decor and creates a complete sensory experience:
- Collaboratively designed menus: a festive menu tailored to your preferences during a private tasting;
- Culinary presentation: elegant plating, refined textured sauces, crystal-clear glassware, and winter vegetable arrangements;
- Bold regional pairings: reimagined Belgian holiday specialties, subtle pairings with abbey beers or wines from renowned estates;
- Exclusive visual signature: a custom-designed presentation that makes your buffets and banquet tables shine.
