I am not a frequent yelper, but had to come on here to say how amazing it was to work with Fernando, Amanda and Christophe for our wedding! Just got married at Chabot Space and Science Center on Sunday and from the very start they helped make the process enjoyable and smooth. My husband and I were figuring things out as we went, but they gave us great advice and guided us through the process all along the way. They were incredibly quick and responsive to our questions and emails.We only met with a couple caterers, but immediately the hospitality and professionalism at La Bonne stood out. Once we did our tasting, we were hooked! The decor surrounding the buffets and on the tables was amazing and we have already gotten a lot of compliments on the delicious food. Fernando threw in the table centerpieces at no cost, which fit perfectly with our venue. Also we were soooo thankful that the staff made sure we ate! They made special plates for us from both the passed hors d'ouevres and the buffet.We had a wonderful experience and truly got to enjoy all the details of our wedding. And picking La Bonne as our caterer was definitely a part of that! More...

Let me just put this out into the universe before I say anything more - FERNANDO IS SIMPLY THE BEST. Besides saying "yes" to my husband, choosing La Bonne to cater our wedding may have been my best decision yet. ;) I had such an amazing experience from start to finish and we loved that they are a certified green business. I found La Bonne through our venue's preferred vendors list and from the very first meeting through our to our amazing ceremony and reception, I never once doubted my decision. I had several meetings with Fernando, including the tasting (which the husband was QUITE happy to help with) and I felt like he and I just clicked. He knew exactly what I envisioned, sometimes before I knew how to vocalize it, and he made my planning experience so much easier. I was calling my theme "woodsy chic" and everything about La Bonne just fit right into it, which meant I didn't need a lot of extra decor. We decided to plan our own wedding instead of hiring a wedding planner,  so we decided that for the event, Fernando would be the primary vendor and coordinate with my other vendors. The day of, it turned out that Anthony was on point for the event, but Fernando was there for set up. I think Anthony must have figured out how to be in  places at once because he was everywhere, making sure things were running smoothly. Everything looked amazing - between the floral designs we added through Pat Gibbons Floral (we connected to her through La Bonne) and the organically beautiful decor La Bonne showcases around their food, I was blown away. The staff was professional, friendly and courteous and made our big night that much more meaningful. And now for the food.... the food was incredibly good, and not just "for a wedding". I mean, seriously RIDICULOUSLY good (coming from the gal who didn't even eat that much of it!), especially given the fact that my venue has no kitchen so they finished everything in a temporary set-up. We opted to go with a buffet and everything we selected was delicious.

La Bonne, Fernando, Anthony & the entire team definitely delivered! Our wedding was in October 2015 (I'm waaaay behind on reviews, but I got my thank you cards out!) and since then, I've gotten so many compliments from our guests on how everything turned out and I know that Fernando and La Bonne were a big part of that.

FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE!!!  Christophe and his staff were amazing !  The food was great, set up was perfect.   We had the event tat the Conservatory of Flowers so they had to set up an outdoor kitchen for the dining pavilion, not a problem.  The staff entered and exited the room unnoticed. Our year end celebration was attended by 150 guests.  We had to pre-order meals - not an issue, they worked with us on the menu selections made wine recommendations that were perfect.   We wanted two signature cocktails, not a problem, told them what the team liked and they created two great cocktails. We needed tables, linens, centerpieces and a band, they took care of everything.  They flowed with all the adds, changes, modifications that were made all the way up to the day of the event.  I would highly recommend them.  La Bonne is a one stop shop, classy service!  Thank you for making my event a success!

My husband and I used La Bonne for our wedding of ~60 people and working with Fernando was an absolute pleasure. He is a consummate professional, and from the first sip of the portabella bisque at our tasting I was already a "yes", but then it was just so easy working with him in the planning process as well, from delivery to his staff. On the actual day of the wedding  it seemed like one of the staff members had personally assigned herself to trying to get me to eat a little something, and making sure the bridal party's glasses were always filled. It was a perfect day and Fernando and his team were a big part of it. More...

Christophe and his team were above and beyond in listening to my needs as the customer in terms of budget, mood and end goal.  Not to mention his ability to keep a sense of humor and still maintain proposals with the perfect amount of detail was probably what made my decision. He was fabulous at offering menus with variety and creative twists, decoration flare that stayed in my budget but completely captured the vibe and feel I was going for. They were on time, professional and managed the event perfectly with the venue.  My boss was very happy which made me happy. More...

I could go on about how great the food is, (try the mushroom soup!), or the elegant plating, or imaginative decor but what really sets La Bonne apart is the service. Witty, charming, fun, knowledgeable, and FLEXIBLE. They have gone out on a limb for the most last minute of events and didn't crack under pressure. I wouldn't trust anybody else to do such a remarkable job. At my sisters wedding I should have made a toast to La Bonne. As someone who has worked in the food industry I know hard work when I see it, and they have their shit together. More...

Our wedding was perfect.  The reason - La Bonne Cuisine.  From start to finish, they were the utmost professionals and gave us a wedding weekend that was nothing short of truly amazing.  We had three events: rehearsal dinner, wedding reception and next-day brunch all at Skyfall in Berkeley.  Together they managed the planning, organization, logistics, catering, staffing and last but certainly not least, floral magic. We were lucky enough to work with many members of LBC on our event, each adding unique elements to our events.  I cannot thank Christophe, Sebastien, Amanda, Fernando, Kent, Peter, Rondha, and the rest of the staff for an amazing weekend our family, friends and certainly we will never forget.

I recently had an amazing dinning experience with La Bonne Cuisine. The whole event was set up with such care and perfection. The food was incredibly sophisticated and delicious. The staff were wonderfully pleasant and on point. I'm pretty sure my wine glass was never empty but for a moment. However, what I was so very impressed with was the high level of quality the food maintained despite the fact that it was served from a buffet (beautifully decorated). There was prime rib cooked to a perfect medium and that pretty pink never left the meat.  The food was never cold yet never tasted over done either.  This is a true talent that this organization has mastered.  Outstanding La Bonne, thank you!

I recently went to a wedding that La Bonne Cuisine catered that was absolutely lovely!For the food: They had plenty of amazing appetizers that they served very quickly after the ceremony. Servers brought around some small cups of mushroom soup, shrimp, samosas, as well as a few other things. All of them were super delish and served by the plenty so everyone was able to have their fill. The dinner that followed after was fantastic! I had some of all the main courses (prime rib, salmon and chicken) and all the sides (veggies, mashed potatoes) and licked my plate clean. Needless to say, I was extremely satisfied and still found room to enjoy two pieces of cake :)Presentation: Out of this world! They really did a wonderful job setting up the venue. The tables were set up so they were cozy and social, but there still plenty of room to get up and roam around. The table decorations were particularly cool, all beautiful and interesting.

The next time I need to plan a catered event, there is no question.I cannot express how amazing this caterer is -- their professionalism and mastery of their craft is impressive. I have nothing but great things to say about the level of service, the food, and the overall experience with La Bonne Cuisine.They handled two recent events for us, one very last-minute and the other was for the our wedding. On both occasions, they clearly communicated and offered nothing less than the best service I have experienced in ANY industry.The food for our wedding was EPIC; every guest that I have been in contact with immediately commented on how the food was not "wedding food". Even people that I wouldn't have expected to notice have commented on the quality of the food, recalling various aspects of the hors d' oeuvres and side dishes. We even had a few guests that are in the culinary industry themselves, who were more than impressed.The service is another level -- every respect and courtesy was extended to our family and friends.

I went to a wedding recently at which La Bonne Cuisine was the caterer.... And the food was absolutely delicious!! The hors d'oeuvres were amazing! People actual tried to locate their conversations closer to the servers entrance so they could grab another shrimp or mushroom soup sipper! It was like we were at a Michelin star restaurant and the chef was sending out delicious little tasting teasers!When it came time for the main meal, there were two gorgeous buffet tables, constantly being replenished with fresh hot entrees and side dishes. The salmon was cooked perfectly!! There were so many options, it was hard to choose, and you didn't have to! I had prime rib, chicken, and salmon!!! (Such a fat kid when it comes to delicious food!) The attendants were incredibly nice and helpful, offering impeccable service. Everything was as beautiful as it was delightfully tasty! Several of the guests went back for seconds and some even went for thirds!The next morning the bride and groom hosted a lovely brunch to see them off to their honeymoon. La Bonne Cuisine came through again! There was even a crepe station!!! That's as awesome as it sounds! Fresh crepes made to order! They were offering ham or turkey, but when another guest requested a vegetarian crepe, they made him an amazing veggie filled treat!!Food at a wedding, or any major event, is such an important part of making an amazing experience.

We had a great experience working with La Bonne and Fernando's team. The planning process was great, Fernando responded to e-mails frequently, called when necessary, and made recommendations on both the linens/look of the wedding (we didn't have them do anything but food). He even threw in lighting for us. The food tasting was phenomenal, and day of was great as well. Fernando recommended that we put meat into the standard quiche they had on their menu, and it was seriously the best quiche I've ever had. The vegetables, fish were so fresh, and it added to the taste. Fernando worked with our budget and kept to it. Day-of: the servers were on-time if not early, professional, and smiled. The only thing I noticed was that during cocktail hour, there wasn't much food being passed around. I talked to guests after and they said they didn't eat much during cocktail hour, so not sure if that was a result of slow queue or food coming out, or not enough food for the guests. But if that's the only thing that went wrong that day, then I'd call it a success still! More...

Every single detail was in place.  They coordinated extremely well with all my other vendors, and have a great reputation within the wedding industry so they are easy to work with.

Confession time, dear yelpers--I've never worked in an office before, and I've never planned a large scale party before. All of the sudden, here I am, working the front desk in an office and bear the responsibility of the company holiday party. Uh oh.The very thought of planning an event of this magnitude was enough to give me nightmares. Venue? Funds? Food and drinks? What do you people want from me? I'm the youngest one in the office by 10+ years. We're on very different levels about what constitutes as a fun filled evening.Luckily, if there's one thing this college girl knows, it's how to party. Venue? Steinhart Aquarium in the Academy of Sciences. Funds? I've got 20k, half of which is now gone to the venue. 10k to feed my group of 60, plus a full bar? Not a problem for Christophe and La Bonne, who created an absolutely stunning event under budget. That's right, dear internets, La Bonne fed and barred up my party for less than 9k, including tip. There were three savory food stations--Dim Sum, Moroccan, and a polenta bar--then a full bar (with an amazing bartender, thank you!) and a dessert station. All set up perfectly and beautifully within the Steinhart Aquarium. The food was incredible, they were amazing to work with (I mean you, Christophe and Corrine!), and my event was flawless.But hold up. I learn a month before the event that my staff is expecting a sit down dinner, and that food stations will be a huge no-no. I frantically email Christophe, who calms my fears immediately, guaranteeing that there will be enough food to fill everyone, and that food stations will encourage mingling more than a sit down dinner. Basically, he told this girl to chill. So I crossed my fingers and...I received nothing but compliments from an otherwise generally cranky group, along with quite a few "This is the best holiday party ever!"s. My CEO even called me clever, because people did indeed mingle around the different stations. ;)I would absolutely recommend La Bonne (and did a few times during the event to other admins who were there) and will be using them again in the future for no hassle, incredibly designed, delicious catering.

I was just in a wedding in San Francisco that used LBC, and it was amazing! The presentation was gorgeous, creative, professional, and classy. The service was excellent (although during the cocktail hour some servers didn't always see us sitting in the corner...); the servers all seemed friendly and happy to be there.

I'm hopping on the five-star bandwagon, can you scooch over please? 2011 is the third year we've contracted caterers for onsite office holiday parties. The past two year's gave less-than-stellar results, largely from a lack of cohesion, comfortable food station arrangement and proper portioning. Add to this our very limited kitchen resources (no stove or oven).  While my co-workers are a nice group of folks, they don't shy away from negative feedback -- let's just say the buzz from these parties wasn't glowing.  This year, with a few more $$ in the budget, La Bonne Catering was chosen from the recommendations of our organizer.And WOW what a difference. Christophe (who IMO bears a passing resemblance to Liam Neeson) and his team took over set-up and prep like they lived at our office. Festive, functional and attractive, their creative layout allowed for a broader area for guests and minimized crowding. The kitchen was an organized beehive of activity, with grills and ovens set up. Seriously, it was like Santa's workshop (if elves had culinary degrees).And the food, amazing. All the more amazing as our employees range from the epicurean to the meat & potatoes crowd, yet every palate was delectably accommodated. Some highlights: An Asian-themed station featuring pork buns, duck wontons, shu mai.  Carved-to-order roast beef with classic yet impressive mashed potatoes. And my favorite station of grilled lamb sliders with seven home-made condiments and accompaniments of truffled mac & cheese tartlets. And a dessert station with cheesecake lollipops garnering the biggest sweet raves.Equally impressive was the wait and clean-up staff -- always cordial and sweet but never intrusive.From the moment they arrived to their departure, La Bonne took care of everything, allowing all, organizers included, to relax, eat and enjoy. Even better, the professionalism and quality of the event made our staff feel valued and special. I hope we use La Bonne for our next holiday event, but honestly would prefer not to wait a whole year.  Highly recommended. More...

We LOVE La Bonne!! Christophe and his team were amazing to work with. The food was unreal, people would not stop talking about the lamb sliders and the 12 hour braised beef - apparently our guests were hunting down the wait staff for the sliders!  We choose La Bonne based on the yumminess of their food (soo tantalizing) and their ability to be flexible with the menu, and of course cost. For their price range, which is moderate, they were fantastic. We served four different types of passed Hors D'ouevres, and had buffet stations that included 3 types of salad, 3 types of entrees, and 2 sides. Then we had a dessert cascade, and the ginger creme brulee was to die for. I caught a number of our guests smuggling macarons out, AND eating the creme brulee as if they were shooters! In addition, the display from La Bonne is beyond belief. Sebastien Sanges is their in house designer (he created the most amazing bouquets for the wedding party), and I'm so happy we worked with him. The bouquets were gorgeous, everyone commented on the uniqueness of integrating succulents with orchids to create something unlike anything we'd ever seen. For the ceremony & reception, he took our theme of modern & clean to a whole new level. He managed to float our orchids around us during the ceremony, and all of the buffet food was displayed in such a gorgeous manner - no ugly chafing dishes here!! Think Cast Iron bowls alongside orchids (Which was our wedding flower). If you have the opportunity to work with La Bonne - Do IT!! You'll be in amazing hands. More...
