My firm used them to cater our lunch for 3 colleagues first day welcome lunch. I have to say the food was actually very delicious. They have hot food. I personally like it. I tried the chicken mushroom, it was made very fresh, tasty and juicy. I guess the food arrived on time. read more

Ellison at Savoury City was a dream to work with. The tea sandwiches that I had want were beautiful, and yummy. The presentation was exquisite. We had catered for 200 and the whole experience was so much better than expected. Delivery was prompt, and I was beyond satisfied. K G-M West Vancouver read more

I was running out of options for a take out Mother's Day tea and stumbled upon Savoury City on Google. It was wonderful! My Mother in Law who is a real foodie said it was so fresh and well presented. The flavours were terrific. I will definately order from them again. Highly recommend. read more

Our coop is having a mortgage burning party this summer and a lot of the coop members want to splurge and have a catered event rather than a potluck. I sent these guys an e-mail to get a quote on March 16th and a week later received a very detailed and tailored quote following a conversation on the phone with Ashley. I've been in constant contact with Ashley throughout this whole quote process. Sadly this isn't my money to play with. I have been delegated a budget on behalf of the event coordinator, therefore, it's their dollars and specifications I have to take into considering. Ashley was awesome in taking care of this for me. I've done lots of wedding catering events and organizations and often it is hard to make clients understand the budget and staffing logistics, however, Ashley was really patient with me on behalf of the client. We stayed in contact and up to date every step of the way through the whole process. My big thing has always been communication and I found this company to be very professional in this manner. Ultimately we did not go with them as it was decided among the committee that this event would eat at 90% of our budget and we had menu specifics. This is based on their professionalism and of course communication. Thanks Ashley for everything. read more

I have ordered catering with Savoury City twice for work events and was very impressed with the quality and selection of their food as well as their service. One of the events required sandwiches and desserts for a large lunch meeting. I appreciated how each sandwich and wrap was individually labelled, making it easy for guests to make their selection, and I heard a lot of positive feedback about the variety they received. Everything was delicious. The second event was much larger--a reception for almost 400 guests--and we ordered one of their afternoon tea menus. I liked that they allowed us to customize the menu to fit our purposes and budget. Most importantly, the staff really went the extra mile for us that day and made sure all the platters were set up and ready for the event. I overheard a lot of people asking where the catering was from--luckily, their branded napkins did the answering! I would highly recommend Savoury City and look forward to ordering again with them in the future. I have booked catering with around 6-8 other caterers around Vancouver for business meetings and have to say that Savoury City has been the best. Their event planners are great to work with and really make their clients feel valued. read more

Can't say enough good things about Savoury City! Our plans were for an outdoor birthday celebration sit-down lunch for 20 people mid August. Instead of brilliant sunshine, it turned out to be one of the wettest days of the summer. Eli did a brilliant job pre-planning everything for a wonderful garden party but the forecast for the actual day was heavy rains. Not phased one bit, during the morning of the garden party, a large white tent was suddenly erected, a long table beautifully decorated with greenery & flowers, & the buffet moved to a covered area. Great job Eli! With helpers Cherry & Dawn with their contagious cheerfulness serving & spoiling the guests, nobody missed the sunshine. Food was fabulous, from the canapé's to the buffet - everything was beautifully presented & delicious. Bravo! read more

I recently ordered bagged lunches from Savoury City for a staff retreat and couldn't have been happier with the experience. The staff I communicated with (phone, email and delivery) were all super friendly and responsive. Before deciding on Savoury City, I looked at several other catering companies. Their menus were much less inspired and usually required that we order several of the same sandwiches, which wasn't going to work for our team. We ordered 13 bagged lunches and only 2 of the sandwiches were the same. This was not a problem at all! Savoury City was happy to accommodate or request. As for the food delicious! We all very much enjoyed our sandwiches. They were on yummy breads (several kinds including gluten free), and there were lots of interesting choices. The bagged lunches also came with delicious baked goods. The brownie. I die. Something I was particularly impressed with was the veggies and dip. The veggies were actual real, tasty veggies and not those shrivelled up carrots, celery, and broccoli things that often get passed off as vegetables. Top marks for Savoury City! read more

I was looking for a caterer to provide appies for a cocktail party. Now it was a small group and a Saturday in June, wedding month. Everyone I contacted neglected to call me back. Night phone calls nor emails worked. Then I met Chris from Lavish Liquid and he introduced me to Joey at Savoury City. Great customer service, treated me as if I was holding big event and the apples were a hit. If you live in the Lower Mainland and are having an event contact them at savourycity.com. Thanks to Joey and Donna. read more

There are not enough words to express my gratitude to Elisenda and her team for pulling our order together at the last minute. The fact that you were able to prepare and deliver 35 meals and drinks on such short notice is incredible. You truly saved the day! I had many people approach me and say how much they enjoyed the food. It really helped finish off the event on a high note. read more

As I'm writing this review, I'm chomping down on the crispy sweet and sour side salad that came with our spicy Thai curry beef on coconut rice. I pretty much never write reviews unless I feel compelled to bc it's either really bad or really good. In this case definitively awesome. Donna (head honcho) was a pleasure to work with and got us set up with daily lunch catering for our company. Nothing but rave reviews to report on the food and service. The company's so easy to work with and very thorough. Always on time with everything in order. I don't think we'll ever go back to regular or fast food delivery again. I cannot wait for tmrws lunch menu, skeena river wild salmon =D read more

Savoury City did an incredible job at catering our west-coast inspired wedding! They were excellent at listening to the vision we had for our wedding menu, patient when we made changes, and went beyond our expectations for the final product on the wedding day. Not only were we in awe of how delicious the food was, but our wedding guests gave us a lot of feedback on how impressed they were. We will happily recommend Savoury City to anyone looking for west-coast cuisine, along with any other style, as they are flexible and very client-centred. Thank you again Savoury City!!! read more

I cant say enough about Donna and the team! Wow!! Every detail was taken care of, the food was excellent, service - top notch, and desserts where delicious. Donna was a delight to deal with. She was very personal and yet professional. We send many email back and forth and every response was timely and always had a special little note about something or other which was delightful. Our guests raved about the food. Our search has ended for our one and only caterer - Savoury City! Abraham & Yo read more

Savoury city is the best Caterer we deal with. There are delicious, enthusiastic, punctual and always helpful and cheerful. They have great sandwiches and wraps for corporate lunches. They find a way to hide the healthy in fresh baked goods and homemade preserves for breakfasts. Not to mention their award winning cocktail receptions, where salmon lollipops are a firm favorite. They have always gone above and beyond to give us the best service and accommodate our (sometimes crazy) needs. Laura- Corporate Law Firm, downtown Vancouver read more

My husband and I used Savoury city for our wedding. I'll start by saying we are very particular people and high quality food and service were probably our top priority as far as where we wanted to spend our budget. Sarah Klukas (and Donnna and the whole team) were so friendly and so amazing in every way possible. We met with them about three times prior to our wedding to discuss our four course menu and to get everything perfect. We used Savoury City to do our engagment party (which I would highly recommend as you get a sense of the quality of food and the service - which are both amazing). Deciding on a caterer is a big commitment and you want to make sure everything is perfect, and you can trust Sarah and Savoury City to do that. They did a site visit at our Wedding Venue and although I had a Wedding Planner they acted as wedding planners also offering valuable advice and making sure everything is perfect as far as rentals and a thousand other things. The food at our wedding was outstanding and Savoury City is great because you try everything before you commit and can adjust the menu to whatever you would like or have them create a menu for you. I really wanted this particular difficult to make dessert and they nailed it and served it just the way I wanted. Sarah was a dream to work with, honestly the friendliest person ever. She was so organized and ensured everything ran smoothly in every way possible and went above and beyond to make everything as perfect as possible even if it was outside the food and service. They genuinely care that your Wedding is perfect and the food by Chef Mathew is totally unreal.. just have a trial with them and you will see what I mean. We can't wait to use them in the future for another big event! Thank you so much Sarah, Donna, Mathew, and everyone! read more

Just munched on a couple of things left over from an event and was very impressed by the quality of everything... I spoke to the organizer to find out who had done the catering and she said three other people had asked her... The salad dressing was SUBLIME! read more

Savoury City catered our wedding this summer. The food was fantastic and the staff were very impressive. I cannot say enough good things about them. Our menu consisted of bbq bourbon chicken, flank steak, mac & cheese, just to name a few. The "head honcho" Donna was incredible. Made us feel very at ease and was extremely helpful during the planning process! Thumbs up for savoury city! read more

Savoury City is a gem in the catering industry in Vancouver, especially for people who are real foodies who appreciate quality, attention to detail and who really want to impress their guests. We recently used them for our wedding this summer and they absolutely nailed our vision. The staff really listens to what you want your day to be. And we were able to cater the menu to our personal preferences - they even prepared some of my Mom's home-cooked favourites! They definitely went the extra mile. One unforgettable memory was when my husband and I were taking photos, the staff took the time to bring down a plate of beautifully presented appies for us - so we didn't miss out. We didn't even notice the staff doing this. It was like they came out of nowhere. That is the type of attention to detail that really makes the difference. The feedback we received the most from all of our guests about the wedding was that the food was spectacular. That is what people will remember from a Savoury City event. Thank you Savoury City!! read more

It was some of the most tender chicken I've ever tasted, the most flavour-filled pork, and the most delicate and delicious salmon (with an amazing cucumber salsa). And it was all served at our wedding! We have nothing but good things to say about Savoury City Catering. Head Honcho Donna Wadsworth was something of a wedding fairy godmother to us -- helping with everything from the room layout, logistics, keeping things on budget, to making sure we had something in our bellies before we hit the reception. She made everything easy. If you want good food to be an integral part of your party -- and you're looking for locally, ethically sourced ingredients -- Savoury City is an excellent choice. One guest told us it was the best pork he had ever tasted. Another said he hit the buffet four times before it was cleared away. Donna's prices aren't cheap, but when you consider that most of the key ingredients are sourced close to home and of the best quality, you can't complain. We would hire Savoury City again in a heartbeat. read more

I used Savoury City for a Xmas luncheon at work, and they were awesome! The website was easy to follow, Christine called me and worked out the menu with me, and the food was absolutely delicious! A shoutout to Christine though, as she was super efficient and cooperative with my many changes. She also had some great suggestions. Thanks for all your help! read more

I am so surprised I am the first one to write the review on this business. Had Savoury City Catering prepared my Engagement party, it turned out amazing. I ordered about 7 or 8 items for a cocktail style party, all the food items came in nice porcelain trays. Had the smoke salmon bisque, lobster bisque, chicken satay, roast beef, tuna and etc. Almost all of my friends complimented on the taste of presentation of the dishes, they sure looked amazing. I took off 1 star mainly because I was NOT able to order HOT items since my order was to be delivered at 5pm (their last delivery) and my party was to start later in the night so they did not think the hot dishes would turn out. Also, based on my research results, Savoury city definitely has one of the most reasonable prices amongst its competitors as I had browsed through numerous caterers before making the final decision. It was definitely a pleasant experience dealing with the staff, I had no problem returning the trays the day after. All the event staff from delivery driver to planner were professional and polite, I was a VERY HAPPY CLIENT. Keep up the great work. read more

We used Savoury City for my mother's celebration of life. The food was great! Everybody loved it. I didn't have to think about anything with regards to catering on the day of the event. They took care of everything that needed to be done and allowed me to concentrate on more important things. They were not the cheapest quote but the combination of good food and great service made the higher cost totally worth it. read more

Donna and her team are culinary lifesavers. After failing to get attention and detail down I have ditched my former caterer in favour of Savoury City's awesome Picnic option for my wedding rehearsal dinner. Rest assured Donna takes care of my crazy allergies to both dairy and eggs - I plan to use Savoury City for my wedding as well. read more

I have dealt with Savoury City on two separate catering occasions now and I have to say, I am very pleased with their service. They offer local food products (which I love) and sustainable solutions, which is such an added bonus. They deliver on time, all the necessities are available...and they always have a smile on their faces! Their customer service is amazing when additions need to be added last minute etc., they are eager to help with everything. I fully recommend this company for catering needs, in a corporate environment, lots of great feedback from my clients/employees! read more

I like the way they are so committed to sustainability. Excellent blog. Highly recommended.

I have been a devotee of Savoury City for many years. Donna is an amazing chef and the presentation is wonderful. I have had them deliver the food and heated it up myself and had a full crew of chef and servers for bigger parties. They are always very professional. I highly recommend them. And a tip - take Donna's advice on what to serve. She is never wrong! read more

I contacted Savoury City through their website to ask for more information regarding catering for a private event. The company called me back very promptly but I was surprised that the first thing they mentioned was that they could not work with my budget. I was willing to be flexible so I said that I'd like to better understand the different costs involved, expecting that we would work together to identify options to better meet my budget. They didn't mention that they were open to having prepared food dropped off, as some of the reviewers mentioned. Instead, they recommended that I look at their corporate menu, which didn't suit my needs at all. I was really unimpressed, especially since everyone else seems to have had a very positive experience. read more

I found savoury city through a yelp review when shopping around for a caterer for my wedding. I was looking for a caterer who would be okay with dropping off an order and did not require staff to be there as I was planning to have a low budget, easy going wedding reception. The reason I went with these guys though was because of their customer service, hands down. I spoke with Susan who did an incredible job helping me pick out suitable menu items with the budget I gave her and genuinely cared if people were going to get enough to eat. I intended to supplement the catered food with trays from Costco and Susan was completely cool with that and supportive. Other catering companies I spoke with did not try to mix and match and give recommendations for menu items the way Susan did; it was a great help. Communication was prompt and personal. Many caterers I called refused to be contacted over phone and corresponded only by e-mail which ended up being lots of back and forth questions and waiting. As for the food, my guests, including the brutally honest ones thought the food tasted great and I were sure to tell me. I didn't get to eat much because of so much going on but the bites I did have were really tasty especially the skewers. I highly recommend these guys. They might not be emblazoned on every city bus but they were worthy every penny. read more
