Island Gourmet Catering brings fine dining to you…

A gourmet meal is as close as your dining room but
that doesn’t mean you need to be in the kitchen away from your guests.

Guy Le Monnier’s Island Gourmet Catering
eliminates the stress of cooking by taking care of
everything from menu selection and preparation to
serving and clean-up, allowing you to relax and enjoy
your gathering whether it’s for 2, 10 or 100.

Guy Le Monnier, a French-trained chef from Brittany,
has travelled through Europe, Asia, Australia and
beyond honing his culinary skills. Settling here
in Victoria in 1997 and opening Island Gourmet
Catering in 2001, he has built a reputation for creating
deliciously elegant meals ranging from intimate home based
gatherings to larger corporate events.
Regardless of the number of guests, Chef Guy Le Monnier
prides himself on forging an excellent
relationship with clients, ensuring their needs are
fully met. “That connection with the client is the most
important thing for me,” he says. “It’s not enough to
wrap up the evening; I want to ensure the client is
happy and know they have a smile on their face.”
Weddings are a specialty, as are his impressive
Barbecues, perfect for a patio or garden gala. He
offers a unique twist on the standard catering menu.
Have something a little different in mind? Don’t
hesitate to ask about accommodating food allergies,
dietary restrictions or adding something a little more
exotic to your menu.

With his globally influenced
repertoire, Guy Le Monnier loves to create something out of
the ordinary, impeccably presented, of course. Inspired
by a request for a Hawaiian-themed meal, for example,
a favorite item has become his barbecued banana leaf wrapped
salmon – moist and flavorful, and always a
highlight.

It’s no surprise his approach to each event is also
client-focused, tailored to each client’s vision for their
event and their unique needs. Specially trained staff
ensure service is friendly and efficient while specialized
vehicles and equipment ensure any food prepared
off-site arrives piping hot, looking terrific and tasting
delicious. The result is a stellar menu realized with
Guy Le Monnier’s creativity and quality craftsmanship. “The
eyes eat first, so presentation is essential, but the taste
has to be there too,” Chef Guy Le Monnier notes.
