“We celebrated our 25th anniversary with a fabulous, fine dining experience compliments of Chez Montier. The exquisite meal, with candlelight and mood-setting music made for an extraordinary evening of celebration.

What clients are saying about their Chez Montier Lux Dining Experience at Home!

“My husband and I are food enthusiasts and we enjoy fine dining. We wanted to do something special to celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary but dining out during COVID-19 was not an option. Thankfully, we were referred to Chez Montier catering who delivered a FABULOUS multi-course dinner complete with plating concept sketches! Every dish was amazing and Chef Juan’s attention to detail was UNMATCHED! My husband was so impressed and we both agreed that it was, hands down, one of the best meals we’ve ever had! Chez Montier truly made our anniversary one of our BEST! I highly recommend Chez Montier. We look forward to enjoying their delectable food again and again!”

Chez Montier Black Bento

We are excited to share Chez Montier’s new elegant, sophisticated, catering offering - ‘Black Bento.’ This option was especially developed for clients who want small event catering services. Our stylish, black bento box holds a complete gourmet meal of the cuisine of your choice. The self-contained bento box does not require personal serving so it’s an easy way to social distance and keep your guests safe. The bonus ~ the box becomes a take home gift and a reminder for your guests of your celebration.           

“What a wonderful party! The food was absolutely delicious - people were raving about it and everyone loved the presentation. Thank you for helping to make it such a special evening where we could celebrate and share some joy.
