The French Gourmet

iego suggested The French Gourmet. From the first time I contacted them I knew this was the group to work with for our event. They immediately could understand the feeling and atmosphere we wanted and suggested a menu that was absolutely perfect. Not only was the food perfect, but the servers were so friendly and professional. So much attention to detail. Michel and Renee were easy to work with throughout the process. They were always prompt with answers to questions and I always felt they had our best interests at heart. My only regret is that I wish they were up in our Seattle area! The Sunday after the wedding we went to a post wedding brunch where French Gourmet pastries were served. Another treat for us on the day after our son's wedding. Look no further for a caterer... they are the ones to use.

m cake and when I tell you it is the best cake I have ever had in my life, I mean it is THE BEST. I decided right then and there that we were going to hire them for the wedding and let me tell you, it was a huge hit! Everyone loved it and the cake was gorgeous too! Tran was very attentive and very kind as well. I can’t recommend them enough!

picked strawberry and pralinsko) that our guests are STILL raving about! Trang, their wedding cake specialist, was a breeze to work with. She always back to us in a timely fashion and we had a ton of fun chatting and doing our cake tasting! We can’t wait to order a fresh (smaller) cake directly from the source at our one year anniversary!

ll, which we learned through all our guests’ glowing reviews! Our American, Canadian, and French guests raved about the food, from the tray passed hors d’œuvres to the entrée and croquembouche (we passed on the traditional wedding cake). They provided attentive servers for a sit down meal, keeping the wine and champagne flowing, and a great bartender who handled our drinks list well, including our signature cocktail. Our definite go-to for catering, for sure!

barely had to do a thing. Stress free and great to work with.

r. The only hiccup was during the delivery process, there was a miscommunication. But even that worked out in the end.

of chocolate. The presentation was beautiful, they placed the flowers from the florist and it turned out lovely. I would definitely recommend them for your wedding cake!

the cake looked with our florist's flowers adorning the white chocolate shavings. Not to mention, how delicious the cake was! Couldn't' be happier by how our cake table looked and how our cake tasted even while I was smashing it into my husband's face. French Gourmet is the best and I recommend them to all my friends.

le asking for leftovers the next day haha

ur dessert table, almost too good to eat - almost. ;) Trang was such a pleasure to work with throughout planning - she even allowed me to taste the croquembouche flavors before making a decision. We went with chocolate and it was delicious! Thanks so much for the beautiful creation - it was the perfect nod to my husband's French culture.

od. Michel is wonderful to work with and I will use him again in the future. If you are looking for exceptional catering, The French Gourmet will exceed expectations! I also had them do my wedding cake which was delicious and beautiful, exactly what I wanted. Everything was magical! Five stars and then some.

and about the attentiveness of their service. Michel and his team created the experience we wanted for our guests. I asked for a quote for 300 people online about 10 months before the wedding. Michel called me a few days later. He invited me, my fiance, and my parents in to try the food. All of the food was delicious. It made choosing for the wedding very difficult. Aside from the incredible food, Michel offers so much more for any kind of reception. We used his linens, china, and silverware. Healso provided the cake and all of the drinks. Michel knows weddings very well. He helped us plan the reception before and helped us execute our schedule the day of. The French Gourmet went above and beyond. We have recommended them to all of our friends both to cater their weddings to to dine in the restaurant for a date. Michel in particular has become a good friend of our family. He is a man of character and professionalism. He wants your day to be what you want and how you want it.

! They are literal pieces of art. The cake they made for my wedding was so beautiful and delicious too! In addition to the gorgeous cake, the food was also incredible. I definitely recommend all their appetizers and their meats/fish. I received countless compliments on the food :) Besides their amazing cakes and food, their staff is so sweet and very accommodating. They also have amazing linens and beautiful plates/silverware (we used these gorgeous gold chargers). We love The French Gourmet!

se French Gourmet! They were professional and the cake was OUTSTANDING. I have never eating anything so good in my entire life. The design of my cake was fairly simple but it was elegant. They did exactly what I asked and it was GORGEOUS! So many of my guests said that this cake was the best wedding cake they ever had. I highly recommend them!

lanning long distance and it was a smaller residential wedding so needless to say we were asking a lot. Michel and his team were so responsive with emails and calls and even a home visit to see the lay of the land. The day of the wedding the team worked very hard to make sure everything was running smoothly. They had water and lemonade before the ceremony, provided a partial bar, set up and clean up all for a very reasonable price. In addition to great service, their menu is amazing. We knew that after our in-house tasting, but it was confirmed by a majority of wedding guests who said it was by far the best food they have ever had at a wedding. Finally, their bake staff was very accommodating as well. I ordered a small cake and 100 cupcakes, of those 25 were personally decorated at no extra charge! Their flavor options are amazing- we recommend the lemon cream! Instant favorite! 5 stars for a great team, overall. Happy Planning! A&S

that there will not be enough. Their team is so easy to work with, taking care of every little detail. We received many compliments on the food - everything from the apps, dinner, cake, and cookies that we had as our table gifts. As a sweet touch, they pack you a basket of apps, dinner, and cake to eat later that night. I loved this as you do not have time to eat (nor did I have the room in my dress) and this let us enjoy everything later that night. I am looking forward to ordering a small cake for our 1 year anniversary. It was sooo good - cheesecake/pound cake combo with raspberry - never tasted anything like it and didn't even think of this combo using cheesecake! Highly recommend!

ourmet and were very impressed with her professionalism, customer service and knowledge. We selected The French Gourmet because of their exotic, tasty flavors and they were able to create our requested design within our budget. Our reception was at the Admiral Kidd Catering and Conference Center on a U.S. Naval Base. Trang was able to work with us to get all the required documentation for security on the base while not every vendor was able to meet these requirements with ease. On the day of the wedding the cake looked absolutely beautiful and tasted delicious. We had a four tiered cake with lemon, passion fruit and chocolate mousse flavors. All the guests thought the cake was delicious too and we received many compliments on it. Trang was able to honor her commitment to create a one year anniversary cake with white chocolate shavings in our flavor of choice for us. Just this past month as we celebrated our one year anniversary we enjoyed another 4" size passion fruit cake and it was just as delicious as the first time on our wedding day. We do not live in San Diego and so we really appreciated this special opportunity as we were not able to save and freeze the top tier for our anniversary. I highly recommend The French Gourmet for anyone looking for a wedding cake in San Diego.

mpliments from my guests. Not to mention, Trang is fantastic and easy to work with. She listened to what I wanted and responded promptly to my emails whenever I had a question. I highly recommend to anyone who is looking to have exquisite cake or desserts at their wedding!

uss every single details before the ceremony... What we loved the most was all the creative ideas they were able to contribute to make the day perfect... and indeed it was...

ill my order with short notice. The desserts were good and very pretty if you're concerned about the "look" of the desserts. I only ordered for about 35 guests, so they definitely will accommodate small or large orders. Definitely recommended.

s one of the entrees. The food was amazingly good - we are still getting compliments about it three weeks later. Edith, the Catering Manager, was very attentive to our wishes and also gave us some good ideas which we incorporated into the reception. The service was also excellent. Edith and her staff are true professionals and the cost was in line with all the other estimates. We are very glad we chose The French Gourmet to cater our wedding reception.

loved the mini quiches, the fresh fish, and the macaroni bar. Everyone is still raving about all of the food! French Gourmet staff were all very polite and kind. Especially Edith! She was so helpful, capable and provided us an amazing and memorable night. Would highly recommend working with French Gourmet on your wedding.

g and thoughtful demeanor as well as his reliability and willingness to meet us all the way. Furthermore, we were absolutely delighted with the team he assigned to us. Our chef, Guy, and the rest of the crew were efficient, helpful and very friendly. The food was delicious and the presentation very elegant. I definitely recommend the French Gourmet.

a price or great price but terrible food. We were feeling hopeless when, at last, we found The French Gourmet. We could immediately tell that Michel (pronounced like the female Michelle in English (he's really French! haha)) was a chef with a passion for food, and love, and life. He gave us a wonderful tasting of culinary delights and wine that made our palets and hearts soar. (It was the first time during this journey that I saw my fiance smile after tasting a caterers meat!) The experience from then on out was excellent. Michel communicated with us very well and worked with our personal needs and desires (including budget) to create the perfect menu. We did stretch the budget a bit but it was well worth it. On the day of the wedding the service was also excellent. We had tray-passed hors d' orves (still can't spell that darn word!) and a buffet dinner. The servers were on point, friendly and very professional. Even though everything got set back an hour due to transportation issues, they rolled with the punches and made it work. The food was delicious and we got numerous compliments on it from our guests. I would highly recommend the crepe station for dessert. It was an absolute hit. We are very thankful to the French Gourmet for helping to make our special day wonderfully unforgettable and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for experts in the field of catering and culinary art.

we sat down at The French Gourmet with Trang, the wedding cake coordinator, I knew we had found the best place for us...and the best place for a wedding cake in San Diego! We went in with a design concept and Trang made it happen - the design surpassed my expectations and looked beautiful. Working with Trang was nothing but a pleasure - she was always prompt, responsive, considerate of our wants/needs, and dedicated to making sure the services they provided were top notch. Guests loved the cake as did we! We can't wait for our personal anniversary cake at the 1 year mark :)

ng attitude. We would use them again and again! We still get rave reviews on how good the food tasted at the wedding. Edith even brought my husband and I another serving of hot food to the bride and groom table for us because ours got clod from us dancing all night. The best was how they packed us a night cap of everything to taste for the wedding suite that night;) We have recommended them to many others already! Love, love , love that we went with TFG!

es, but luckily our appointment at The French Gourmet was first! The cakes at our tasting were so good we immediately ordered our wedding cake, and canceled our other 2 appointments! We had great service the couple of times we contacted the bakery to change/confirm our cake size and design. We also had many guests tell us it was the best cake they had ever had at a wedding (instead of the gross cakes often served at weddings), and many people asked us which bakery we used!

ience with them from start to finish. Delicious tasting before we booked them, attention to detail, gourmet quality, and they really worked with us to stay within our budget. Highly recommend using the French Gourmet for catering! We loved Orsika!

tations. Despite the fact that we had numerous meeting with them, brought pictures, color samples, etc. A little disappointed but overall not a big deal.

my bridesmaids and I had water and appetizers while getting ready and the vendors ate as well. Everyone complimented the wedding cake - we didn't have any left!

to work with. they are like a small, french family! they will customize whatever you want, the possibilities are endless! they are on the pricier side, but i think the quality of the food and serve was worth it.

ake (for stability). The exterior was decorated with a tasty sweet white fondant rolled in waves up the cake and had gold edging. I could have eaten so much more of it! Excited for the one year anniversary cake.

chocolate mousse (for me). It was delicious, the cake was gorgeous and exactly what I wanted. We had a TON of cake leftover, so consider ordering down.
