Reviews of L-eat Catering (Event Planner)

Ian Chenner

We had the pleasure of working with L’Eat for our wedding in PEC. Our original caterer backed out a few months before our wedding, and L’Eat stepped in as our saviours. The food was amazing - we had so many guests compliment the meal. The portions were plentiful (so much smoked brisket!!); no one left hungry. Above that, Deirdre and the team were great to work with, both planning the event and executing it. The service staff were friendly, professional and made sure all our guests had what they needed throughout the night. They also went out of their way to come up to my husband and I to congratulate us, give us their best wishes etc. on our special day. We would not hesitate to recommend them, and hope we can have them cook for us again soon :)

With just 3 weeks before our Covid wedding, L-Eat came in and took all my stress away. They were professional, full of ideas. Willing to collaborate on new ideas and also able to take some of the extras off our todo list! When it came to the event, the food was flawless! Everyone LOVED the food! It was beyond our expectations! Not to mention the staff, they were unbelievably attentive and our kitchen was spotless when they left! Highly recommend!!

L-eat catered our National Sales Meeting awards dinner and the food was AMAZING! Deirdre was so wonderful to work with, she made everything so easy and didn't flinch when I requested two Kosher meals be added very late in the planning! All of our guests raved about the food - one of our guests was even stalking the servers to get more of the Lobster grilled cheese!! I would highly recommend L'eat catering and hope to be able to use them again for future events!

Hi There

Place: L-Eat catering is owned by the same owners of Paese (next door to one another) . Food: I love that they support and believe in sustainable eating. They have an amazing menu with a variety of food options for people with dietary restrictions (amazing vegan jack fruit pulled “pork” sliders). Favourite dishes: Chicken and waffles Southern fried chicken drumette & steam whistle shooter Pinot noir duck breast The meats here are cooked to perfection. Everything is so tender and flavourful. The flavour combinations go so well together. Dessert: Chocolate peanut butter cup (peanut brittle tuile, peanut butter ice cream strawberry coulis and candied peanuts). This is something I can eat all day, everyday. The chocolate is smooth, rich and creamy. The tart itself is buttery and not too thick. The peanut butter ice cream was not too overly sweet and had a really strong peanut butter flavour. Everything just went together perfectly

Our catering was delicious, seamless execution, and overall such a great experience! Savanah was incredible to work with - very helpful, accommodating and genuinely wanted to make sure our event was perfect. Thank you, Savanah & L-Eat's!

Jay Khetia

Everything was perfect. We will be using you again for Christmas.

Wait time too long.

Served us 20 uncooked chicken breasts... inedible.

A year ago, we met the owner Tony, Sal, and the team to discuss catering our wedding in under three weeks. Tony was highly professional and hands-down the best caterer in the city. The food was excellent, and to this day, our guests still can't over how exquisite everything tasted. Tony and the team are highly detail-oriented, organized and honest. Look no further this is the catering company to choose! On my first anniversary, Tony recreated our exact dinner at PAESA, an extraordinary moment for my wife and me. This place is one of the best places to dine, with fantastic service, great ambiance and phenomenal food. Thank you again, Tony, Sal and the team!

Debbie Silver

I was in charge of hosting and planning my sister's engagement party and Renee Foote and her L-eat catering team did an amazing job in bringing all of the things I had visualized into reality. She made sure that this would not be a stressful time for me as she was there through every step of the way with me. Whatever I wanted or did not wanted were adjusted perfectly and quickly by Renee, ensuring the engagement party was beautifully done. The food was amazing, the service was impeccable, the floral was beautiful... basically everything was gorgeous. I honestly have no regrets and complaints with Renee and her team and will definitely choose them again if we have another event in the near future.

Lynne Brandolini

We have worked with the team at L’eat Catering for many years and are always more than happy to recommend their services when our customers ask for catering referrals. They can handle any size event - from intimate dinners in your home to corporate events on location, creative and unique bar/bat mitzvahs as well as any type of wedding imaginable and MORE! Their professional and experienced sales team are amazing to work with and their food never disappoints. One of the best catering options in town!!

Rabbi Sharon L. Sobel

Alanna was so amazing to work with! She created a completely custom menu for our backyard wedding and was very responsive and creative. On the day of our wedding, everyone was impressed by the chef and the servers were very professional. The food was top tier and I got many compliments from our guest asking for the chef’s card! I am so happy we chose them and would most definitely work with them again in the future.

Erin Billings

The BBQ they have set up outside is absolutely amazing. Hands down the best burger I have had in the city. The patio is well set up for social distancing and a great place to grab a beer and a burger for a reasonable price. Highly recommend you try it out this summer!

jmabee77

One stop shop - I grabbed my market order this afternoon to bring up to the cottage and while there I sat down for a drink and chicken sandwich on the patio!

Meghan McGarrell

Excelant food and very courteous service - we will be ordering again

Joanna Blenke

If you are looking to order food and receive it 1.5 hours late and then have over half of the items missing or made wrong, then I would definitely order from leat.

rick silver

We had an issue - L-eat bent over backwards to solve it with no resentment. I will certainly use them again.

I have worked with Dana from L'eat on a of couple events for some of our most generous donors and influential philanthropists around the city...and I cannot say enough! Namely, her attention to detail is most important to me as I'm an event planner. Whether she is sending a photo of a table with dimensions to ensure we have the correct linens or bringing out a measuring tape to ensure her staff have enough space to work in a kitchen, I know I can always count on her accuracy and reliability. Last month Dana did a private fundraising dinner at one of our donor's homes and she sent me photos of the table set for dinner and the floral arrangements she'd arranged for as I couldn't be at the dinner. She went over and above to make sure I felt comfortable even though I wasn't onsite - and that is what will ensure I work with L'eat and Dana again! The food! Right...can't forget the food. When I mention L'eat around this place people go bananas! Such elegant presentation and impeccable taste. L'eat is wonderful at creating proposals that will intrigue and tease your palette! Everything is done with such intricacy and flair! I am so lucky that when I use L'eat that I am confident that not only will the service be completely professional but that the quality and taste of the food being served, will be above and beyond expectations. They certainly align perfectly with our core demographic and never disappoint! Lauren Habib, Manager, Events, SickKids Foundation

Cam O'Neill

I almost never bother to review but this food was so lacking in taste I'm inspired to bother. I could not finish my Bollywood bowl. The chana masala tasted sour and was cold. The tofu had no taste. The dressing tasted only of oil. And yet the meal was expensive. Quite a disappointment

Marika Washchyshyn

I can't recommend L-Eat enough to my clients, family and friends. The absolute best event catering company in Toronto (and the fact that they serve the GTA & Simcoe County is even better! As a wedding planner, it's soo important to work with teams and companies who we respect and trust will execute a fantastic event on the day of. Chef and owner Tony is a master of food! Alanna is just a gem, always responsive, super creative and always willing to work within a client's budget. Food is always incredible, service is always great and the team behind it is just THE BEST! We absolutely love working with them, you can't go wrong with hiring L-Eat Catering for your wedding and event catering needs.

Michelle Adelman

Fantastic catering company. Used them for a shower this past weekend. Planning, delivery, the food - all perfect!

alanna haley

It was catered for work. Tiny containers with completely cold food. The turkey was decent but stuffing was boring and rock hard unidentifiable root vegetables terrible. Flavorless and absent of seasoning. Would have left the label off. Could give the company a bad name.

Julie Arora

Reneé Foote and her all-star team, have provided us with first class services since the day that we initiated our first meeting. She has given life to our visions with inventive menus, decor and service for 25+ events. We never need to think twice as to whether our event is going to be executed seamlessly when working with Reneé. You're in highly capable hands with her. She is an absolute pleasure to work with. From the initial meeting and brainstorm, budget revisions, through set up, the event itself, tear down and follow up - this company has set the bar. I would recommend Reneé and the L-eat Catering team to anyone (and I do regularly, given the chance).

Elissa Podolsky

Planning an event can be stressful because there are so many details to think of - and nothing makes or breaks an event more than the food! I have been working with L-eat and Dana for years because she takes the stress out of the catering. She always comes up with fantastic menus and is on top of every detail from quotes to planning to staffing the day of. Thanks for your help. I will be in touch soon!

James Dennis

L'eat catering just did a fantastic job at an event our company held this past Tuesday for a breakfast brunch. I personally dealt with Renee Foote who was extremely helpful and professional while deciding on our menu selections and what would suit our needs best. The food was delicious! From freshly made smoothies, to make your own omelette and fresh baked goods, everyone who made it to the event raved about how exceptional the food tasted! The staff was very friendly and professional. Renee chose floral arrangements that really brought the atmosphere to life! We have worked with Renee in the past and were extremely satisfied with the wonderful job she and the staff had done - will definitely look into L'eat catering for future events!

Wendy Cappell

Great experience having L-Eat cater our wedding. The guests all loved the food and the service was great. Karen Wilson was especially a pleasure to work with and helped us a lot during the planning process. I would recommend this place.

ozzy dean

Incredible food and flawless service. We are so happy we went with L-Eat to cater our wedding. Thank you L-eat!

Linsey Flannery

If I could I wouldn't even give one star. Catered for work. Cold cold and extra cold. Tough undercooked veggies and potatoe. Terrible stuffing. I wouldn't serve to a pig.

Concerned Citizen

Great experience for Mother's Day Brunch - Wonderful guidance around portions ahead of time, food showed up right on time, very clear instruction for preparation, and the food was delicious. Everyone was happy and full!

adit Margaliot

First, the staff are extremely responsive and knowledgeable about the quantities to suggest for a catered party, event or shive and the suggested amounts are perfect. I have used them for over 20 years and am always thrilled. The food is OUTSTANDING - so delicious! Most recently, I had a shiva meal catered: Everyone LOVED everything! Everything was cooked perfectly so when we reheated it nothing was overcooked. 10-stars!!!!! I would recommend L-eat Catering and Paese for everything. They are absolutely fantastic!!

Lauren Habib

We had a great meal catered to my dad's place last month for a family dinner. There was about 12 of us and everything was very good. The highlight was the mushroom veal scallopini, which was outstanding. My dad is still eating the frozen left overs! Garlic bread was also great, and our only complaint would be that the gnocchi, while delicious, could have used some parmesan cheese, which was not included with the delivery. Luckily dad had some in the fridge, but I don't think Tony would approve of "kraft" parm on his gnocchi! We also had L-eat cater a large luncheon a couple of years back and everything was exceptional there as well. Would definitely recommend for any occasion.

Eric Lawrence

We had L-eat cater the luncheon for our daughters Bat Mitzvah. Everything was perfect. Tony, Deirdre and the whole team were great to work with and made excellent recommendations for food and decor. Everything went off with a hitch and we would not hesitate to recommend L-eat Catering for any event.

Natalie Wilson

Wonderful food, wonderful presentation, very professional and easy to work with. Highly recommend and will definitely use again!

Ashley Cameron

Excellent service from initial contact to end of event clean up. Our event was outdoors during Covid-19 in early September so there were tricky elements to navigate - all of which were executed seamlessly and exceeded our expectations. The event planner, Savanah, was exceptional in her professionalism and attention to detail. Also, the lead staff, Eva, made a lasting impression with her above and beyond style of service and organization at the event. Many guests commented on her amazing service with a smile! As for the food, it was delicious and perfect for our gathering. Shout out to the short rib parfait and the sliders. Special mention for the watermelon barrels stuffed with feta mousse. Original and delicious. Would absolutely recommend L'Eat Catering and will use again for future events.

Erin Parish

Exceptional...and full! L’Eat delivered beyond our expectations. Our guests are still talking about our wedding food. Quality and taste in our meals were tops to us... If it is for you too, don’t hesitate. Professional and so tasty, Deirdre and team were a pleasure to work with. The service was impeccable and the food was creative, delicious and arrived at the appropriate temperature — usually a challenge for large groups! Would recommend to anyone and absolutely use them again for future events.

Jenn

Thank you L'Eat Catering and specifically Paula Thompson for another outstanding job at my recent event. This is the second time we have used L'Eat and both times they have done a spectacular job, from the luncheon all the way through to the evening party. Paula was especially wonderful to work with. She is responsive and takes great care in working with you to define and execute on the vision. There wasn't one occasion where I asked for modifications or additions to the menu that couldn't be done. Paula is a real gem and works extremely hard to ensure the food tastes great, is presented well and also served with a smile. Thank you to Tony, Paula and the whole L'Eat team for your top notch food and service. My guests were raving from morning til night!

Manny Blackman

Absolutely excellent customer service, and quality of food. Fantastic selection of dishes very commendable what they've done to survive throughout the pandemic.

Leslie Draper Santos

Went here for an interview. The delicious aroma made we want to have a bite afterwards. Everyone seemed very nice, professional but not pretentious.

Brett Saunders

Amazing service and the food was delicious at our last event!

Haley Lamacraft

I work in the apparel industry and we used L-eat Catering for our recent staff party in Toronto. It was an outdoor event, barbeque-style with food stations set up all around. Our employees especially loved the short ribs and mac n'cheese…and the gelato station might have been my favourite! The event staff were professional yet fun, hard-working and upbeat. Dana/L-eat even helped us book a couple entertainers for the day, which was a big surprise to everyone. We've ordered office catering on a couple occasions and the sandwiches/salads are always on time and delicious, so it was nice to try catering on a larger-scale event and see that they lived up to our expectations yet again!

Terrance Joyce

We ordered for Thanksgiving ..took a chance at catering..it was such a nice surprise This company has wonderful staff right from the order process to delivery..food was delicious! Will be ordering again but wont wait for a holiday ???? Thankyou L-eat Catering

Angela Taylor

This is a wonderful catering provider. The foods at the restaurant is really good. The steak and the chicken is my favourite dishes

Dana Isenberg

I was recently the maid of honour at my best friend Carly's wedding at Enoch Turner Schoolhouse in Toronto. It was an intimate gathering of only 80ppl but it felt very over-the-top because of the first class service we received from L-eat. Since I wanted to take some of stress off the bride, I made it my duty to liaise with the event planner & catering staff to make sure everything ran smoothly for the Mr. & Mrs. Our friends & family couldn't stop raving about the food, everything tasted amazing and presented with such style! My favourite was the pistachio-crusted halibut, delicious! My sincere thanks to Candice at L-eat who was right there every step of the way during the event making sure Carly could truly enjoy her big day. Will definitely choose this team once my special day rolls around!
