Embark Catering did a fabulous job and made my husband’s Birthday party not only elegantly memorable but delicious! Everyone at the party loved and was impressed by the food. Simone and her Chef husband were easy to work with, respectful, on time and we will be definitely having their services again!The beef, chicken Parmesan, eggplant Parmesan sliders were excellent. And the Arancini and mushroom tarts went like hotcakes!Thanks again, Heather and Adrian in Brantford More...

Simone & Devon prepared and personally catered a special memorial dinner for my family (10 adults & four children) and were absolutely amazing from beginning to end. Some of the things I loved about Simone were her warmth, flexibility, patience, and communicativeness, all of which were instrumental in making the process as sooth as possible.During the evening of the event, we couldn't have asked for more. The food was absolutely outstanding, getting rave reviews from all, Simone and Devon were warm and down-to-earth, and the set-up, preparation, service, and clean-up were seemless.I did a fair bit of research in choosing a catering company, but something just felt good about Embark Catering, and I was right! Thank you again, Simone. You and Devon were absolutely wonderful! More...

We hired the Embark Catering and no regrets. Simone and Devon were very professional. Communication from the beginning was very good. They arrived well in advance to prepare (and the weather was terrible ... rain and ice over the Christmas holidays). The food was very flavourful (guests were very impressed), the service was very professional (not to mention the servers taking care of not only the serving of platters, but coats and gifts as guests arrived). Thank you Simone and Devon and your team! You made our event so memorable. More...

We had an outstanding experience with this catering team. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Every dish was clearly prepared with care, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how good everything tasted. The mushroom pasta and BBQ chicken were especially amazing. What impressed us just as much was the exceptional customer service. They were easy to communicate with throughout the planning process and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly on the day of the event. We highly recommend them for your next corporate event. More...

We hired Embark Catering for our rehearsal dinner this July (30 people). What made the decision easy was the quick and professional email responses from Simone from the very start. The process was very smooth leading up to the day. On the actual day we were VERY happy with the service and the food was incredible. Devon and the two servers stayed up until the end and were all very polite and professional. They left our kitchen cleaner than when they arrived! We will be using them again!! More...

Absolutely phenomenal! Embark is incredible. My family and I can't say enough good things about them! Very personable, accommodating, adaptable and professional! Simone was quick to respond, extremely helpful, especially with the special requests and short time order for my brother's wedding. Devin's food was delicious and mouthwatering! The guests were ecstatic and so were we! Thank you so much Simone & Devin for all your help. I look forward to working with you both in the future for further events! :) More...

Embark Catering were fantastic beginning to end! Simone was super responsive, kind and accommodating. She guided me through the whole process. We had a relatively small order for 18 people and she treated us like we were ordering for a wedding. The food arrived right on time, piping hot and absolutely delicious. Everyone was raving about the flavours and perfect textures. Highly recommend and will not hire anyone else in the future. We had jerk chicken, chicken parm, roasted potatoes and the best garden salad I’ve ever had. Thank you! More...

Simone was an absolute pleasure to work with. This was my first time hiring caterers for a party (my mom's 65th birthday). Simone was very patient and took the time to answer all my questions, she explained what i could expect the day of and recommended the amounts and canape selections I should order. My guests enjoyed the food selection and it was plentiful. I ordered 20 dozen canapes for 45 people. I am happy with the excellent service and quality of delicious food Simone and Devon provided. My favourites were the fried chicken sliders, lamb skewers **chef's kiss** and the crab cakes - made with real crab! I decided to order dessert from my mom's favorite bakery and before Simone left, she asked if I needed help putting out dessert, talk about great customer service. We weren't ready for dessert so I thanked her and Devon and let them know I'd be using Embark catering again. Simone and Devon, thank you for making my first catering experience a great one! More...

Our guests were very impressed with the food and presentation, he food was delicious and very easy to serve. Nice to have guests mingle and socialize with others in a very relaxed atmosphere.

Embark catered a Christmas dinner at our home, with 26 guests, including appetizers and desserts (and separate meals for kids) and it was all delicious and really well priced! Simone, from Embark, kept constant and helpful communication, arrived on time with food all prepped and heated and we couldn't have been happier. Multiple guests commented on how great the food was (and we even had enough to send guests home with individual takeout containers). We will definitely use Embark again! Update: Second year in a row! Another amazing meal and service. Guests loved the food and we are looking forward to year 3! More...

We used Embark Catering for a large and prominent corporate event, and couldn't be more satisfied with the service. Simone was very easy and quick to communicate with, addressing any of our potential concerns/requests from the very beginning to the end. Our event was catered to in a "cocktail style" manner. The canape portions were generous, extremely delicious, and came out and served with efficient timing. The various charcuterie and dessert spreads the team laid out were beautiful! The pricing was competitive. I highly recommend Embark Catering. Thank you for helping to make the night as seamless and enjoyable as possible! More...

The Toronto Firefighters War Veterans Association, just conducted a large and challenging event. It relied on a number of partners to make it a success. Embark Catering was one of those Partners. They exceeded all of our expectations, in playing their part. Excellent food choices, excellent presentation, and a friendly staff. We couldnt be happier, and we highly recommend them to anyone. Looking forward to the next time we need a caterer. Cheers! More...

Delicious! Embark promptly called me once they received my request. They were given little notice for a big birthday bash I was hosting at a brewery. They came early and set everything up so nicely. There wasn’t any food left over. Will definitely be using. Their services again in the future. More...

I hosted an event for 15 people and worked with Embark for all of the catering. I would break my experience down into 2 categories: - Customer Journey/Experience - Food Quality Customer Journey/Experience: I cannot recommend Embark enough based on my experience. From the moment I first enquired about services, their communication was timely, accurate and helpful. They ensured that I had the right menu for the event, responded to my questions in a timely fashion and met every timeline that we set. It was an outstanding experience. Food Quality We had a spread of Starters and Entrees. We had arranged to have the food delivered to us 4 hours prior to the start of the event. Simone arrived and provided us with detailed instructions on how to reheat the food. This made it very easy for us to serve the food warm. It was delicious. My particular favourites were the Lamb Skewers (The sauce OMG!), Plantain and Guac and the Chicken Entree. We received so many compliments on the menu and taste. In summary this was an exceptional experience and I would highly recommend this company for your next catering event. Thank you! More...
