We are so thankful for Amanda from Meraki Cuisine. She worked with us on short notice (after a previous vendor had to cancel our date) to create a fully customized menu for our wedding night. Amanda and her husband helped to guide us in choosing passed appetizers and plated mains that fit our Al Fresco Italian dinner party dreams. We had the most amazing tasting a few months before our big day, so good that my mother-in-law also booked Amanda and team for my bridal shower! Amanda is super organized and helped bring my foodie dreams to life for our wedding night! She also organized serving staff, bartenders and all the rentals for our dinner - I am still being told how amazing the food and service on the wedding day was almost a full year later.

We hired Amanda to create a grazing table for our event and she did an amazing job. She was so easy to work with and the food was delicious. All of our guests raved about the grazing table. We'll definitely work with Amanda again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for catering.

Amanda and her team at Meraki catered our wedding this summer. The food was INCREDIBLE! We and all of our guests could not stop raving about it. We kept thinking that we had never had food this good at a wedding before. The dishes were fresh and made with local ingredients, colourful and had beautiful presentation!! Amanda and her team customize the menu to your liking. The team was very professional and had excellent communication. Thank you Meraki for making our day so special! We highly recommend this team :)

I had the chance to try Meraki for the first time over the weekend at the Taste of Calgary event downtown.
These events stand as a promotional tool first, and an opportunity to make money second. Quite honestly, Meraki seems to be the only group that got the memo haha.
I was in a large group and got to try a very large range of offerings from 20+ vendors at the event. Generally speaking, it was overwhelmingly lacklustre with slapped together, low effort offerings being offered up to make a quick buck.
If this event had a winner, however, Meraki would be the standalone without question. Only wish I had tried more of what they had before running out of time.
What I did try was the truffle and mushroom Arancini, and the brisket with cornbread.
Before even tasting anything, I was delighted to see the effort put into presentation.
The expectation was completely fulfilled when I tasted both of these dishes. Complex flavour profiles with excellent execution. Folks, this ain’t all that hard to do but it’s astounding how many people in this industry don’t bother. It’s so refreshing to see someone who does.
The team looked like a well oiled machine running the truck as well. One of the chefs, Chelsea, took the time to explain the many details of the brisket dish which to a nerd like me is always a great enhancer to the experience.
Can’t wait to try more at the next opportunity, Meraki! Very well done.

I'd never heard of these folks before but they had a food truck at Taste of Calgary and somebody whose taste I trust said that it was the best food at the fest, so I tried it and WOW!! I had a dish with pork belly and it was spectacular- in fact, this was my 24th Taste of Calgary and I'd say this was the single best thing I've ever had at the event. The care that went into this dish was amazing- it comprised the pork belly (PERFECT crispy cubes), thinly sliced not-too-ripe mango, peanuts, radish, and other herbs/greens with the most addictive bright dressing. The chef/owner really knows flavour combinations. If I ever need a caterer I know whom to call, and I will be avidly looking for their food truck. This was really, really special.

Amanda and her team did a wonderful job at our wedding reception this summer! She was amazing to communicate with during the planning, and we heard nothing but good things from our guests about the food truck! (The tasting was also delicious). Highly recommend, thank you Amanda!

Metal cuisine caterer our backyard wedding (40 people). They blew us away with their professionalism, service but most of all, their food. It was the BEST food, a highlight absolutely. Our guests made numerous comments of how much they enjoyed the appetizers, main course and dessert.
Thank you so much!

Meraki was our caterer for our wedding recently and our guests enjoyed the food. Amanda was responsive and went above and beyond to incorporate different cuisines for our wedding day. We didn’t want the same menu we’ve seen at every wedding and opted for a twist on Latin and southern foods for our cocktail hour and dinner. We were even able to get pizza served out of her food truck for the late night snack. Great experience! Amanda and her staff were super friendly and attentive day of. I would recommend her to anyone and hope to work with her again.

We had Meraki cater our intimate birthday party for 15 people. The food was wonderful and Amanda was very professional taking up the serving job as well due to her server cancelling at the last minute. We also had some food challenges with, vegetarian , gluten free, no pork options needed, but Amanda came up with alternate solutions. I would recommend for any occasion. Thanks Amanda
The food and the people were absolutely amazing!!!! As for our annual party they will be booked from now on every year!!! Amanda thank you for everything and see you next year!

Peter and Emma
Meraki Cuisine recently catered our wedding reception, and we were so happy and impressed with all parts of the experience! Amanda and Miltos were lovely to work with, and worked to make sure that the dishes were exactly what we wanted and special to us. They were professional, thoughtful, and the food was amazing! They made sure the day went smoothly, and everyone commented on how delicious everything tasted. We are so happy that Meraki Cuisine was recommended to us, and we would absolutely work with them again!

I came across Meraki Cuisine in one of the magazines. I was uncertain how to plan my partner’s surprise 50th. The pictures of their catering drew my attention and I can’t say enough of how lucky I now feel to have chosen them over other options. Starting with the planning phase, Amanda who I corresponded with never made me feel insecure with the limited budget I had. She was responsive and attentive to my needs, with no judgment. On the day, Abraham the chef arrived on time. If you wonder how it works, they prep the food so it’s served warm and at the time you want your guests to start eating. We went with a buffet of appetizers, and our friends cannot stop raving about how good the food was and professional the service was. Abraham came with everything, including impressive serving platters. The food was plated as if you were in a fine dining establishment, with beautiful edible flowers and high class garnishing. Needless to say, the food was on point. The lamb lollipops were unforgettable! The seafood was elegant and well balanced with its complementing garnish. I can’t say enough. If you’re looking to throw an event no matter the size, and you want it to be the talk of your friends, look no further. You have found it in Meraki Cuisine! Thank you Amanda and Abraham!

We chose Meraki Cuisine to cater a corporate event of about 40 stakeholders for my husbands business. Amanda was professional, on-time and created fantastic menus. Our guests were extremely pleased and the food was delicious. Do not hesitate to use them you will not be disappointed.
