A Guide to Mediterranean Catering 

Whether you're planning a family gathering, an office lunch, a birthday, a celebration or a quiet evening for two, good food can make entertaining much easier.

At Medjoie, our catering platters bring together Mediterranean flavours, fresh ingredients and ready-to-share presentation, so you can spend less time preparing food and more time enjoying the occasion.

From premium deli selections and house-made mezze to fresh salads, sandwiches and Mediterranean sweets, here's a guide to choosing the right Medjoie platter for your gathering.

Medjoie Love Platter for Two

Not every special occasion needs a large crowd.

Our Love Platter for Two is designed for date nights, anniversaries, birthdays, Valentine's Day or simply a special evening together.

Beautifully arranged on a wooden serving board, it brings together a little of everything: premium deli meats, artisan cheeses, house-made dips, olives, antipasti, fresh fruit and vegetables, breads, nuts and Mediterranean sweets.

Special decorative touches can make the platter feel even more personal and occasion-ready.

It's a complete grazing experience made for two people to share at their own pace.

Mezze Platters

For a table where everyone likes to graze, talk and try a little of everything, a Mezze Platter is one of the easiest choices.

Medjoie's mezze selections can feature house-made favourites such as:

• Fresh Hummus

• Tzatziki

• Yogurt Grilled Eggplant

• Olive Tapenade

• Baba Ghanoush

• Muhammara

• Labneh

Alongside the dips, we can include olives, dolmadakia, marinated artichokes, roasted peppers, fresh vegetables, breads and other Mediterranean accompaniments.

We can also incorporate specialties such as Kuku Sabzi — Persian Herb Frittata, bringing Persian flavours into a Mediterranean sharing table.

Because many of these items are prepared in-house, mezze platters can be customized according to your preferences, the occasion and ingredient availability.

Vegetarian selections are particularly easy to create.

Deli Platters

For a classic grazing table, our Deli Platters combine premium sliced meats, artisan cheeses, olives, antipasti, dips, fresh vegetables and complementary items.

Selections may include favourites such as prosciutto, Genoa salami, mortadella, ham and turkey alongside cheeses such as provolone, Havarti, bocconcini and other selections available from the Medjoie deli counter.

Because Medjoie carries a broad range of bulk olives, cheeses, antipasti and deli meats, the platter does not have to be completely fixed.

If you have favourite ingredients, let us know.

We can adjust selections based on your preferences and current availability, and can also prepare Vegetarian, Seafood or Halal platters by request, with pricing based on the products selected.

Deli platters work particularly well for celebrations, office gatherings, cocktail-style events or as part of a larger Mediterranean spread.

Salad Platters

If you're looking for something colourful and fresh, our Salad Platters can be served on their own or alongside deli, mezze and sandwich platters.

Our regular prepared salad selections include:

• Mediterranean Chickpea Salad

• Potato Salad

• Greek Village Salad

• Mediterranean Artichoke Salad

• Garden Orzo Salad

• Caprese Bocconcini

For catering, additional specialty salads may also be available.

Customers can combine several salads on one platter, making this a particularly useful option for groups with different tastes.

Salad platters are ideal for daytime gatherings, office lunches and larger meals where you want a fresh complement to richer dishes.

Sandwich & Food Platters

For office lunches, meetings and casual gatherings, Sandwich & Food Platters are one of the easiest options to serve.

Medjoie offers a broad selection of Mediterranean-inspired sandwiches and panini featuring combinations of premium deli meats, chicken, beef, tuna, cheeses, grilled vegetables, fresh produce, pesto and house-made spreads.

For catering, sandwiches can be cut and arranged for sharing so guests can try several different flavours instead of choosing only one.

We can prepare a mixed assortment for you or build the platter around your preferred sandwiches.

Vegetarian, chicken, seafood and mixed selections can also be arranged according to your group's preferences.

Mediterranean Sweet Platters

A good gathering deserves something sweet at the end.

Our Mediterranean Sweet Platters bring together a selection of pastries, cakes, cookies, nuts, dried fruit and complementary treats.

Depending on the platter and current availability, selections may include:

• Fresh Baklava

• Pistachio Cake

• Maamoul Date Cookies

• Muffins

• Sesame sweets

• Dates

• Walnuts

• Almonds

• Pistachios

• Dried and fresh fruit

• Other freshly prepared or seasonal specialties

A Sweet Platter can be ordered on its own for coffee, tea or an office celebration, or added to another Medjoie catering platter as the finishing touch.

Which Platter Is Right for Your Event?

Think about how your guests will be eating.

For a relaxed table where people will sit, share and graze, Mezze and Deli Platters work especially well.

For an office lunch or casual event where guests need something easy to pick up and eat, choose a Sandwich & Food Platter.

Add a Salad Platter when you want something fresh alongside the main spread.

Finish with a Sweet Platter for dessert.

And when the guest list is only two, the Love Platter turns the same Medjoie flavours into something designed specifically for a more personal occasion.

You can also combine several platter styles to create a complete Mediterranean catering spread for a larger gathering.

Made Flexible

One advantage of ordering catering from Medjoie is that many of the ingredients we use are already part of our fresh deli, olive, antipasti, prepared-food and bakery selections.

That gives us flexibility.

If you prefer a particular cheese, olive, dip, antipasti item or sandwich, tell us. We can often adjust the selection based on your taste, dietary preferences, the occasion and current availability.

Custom selections and premium additions may affect the final price.

Ordering Your Medjoie Catering

We recommend placing catering orders at least 24 hours in advance so we have time to prepare, arrange and confirm your selections.

For particularly large or highly customized orders, contacting us earlier is always helpful.

Please also tell us about any allergies or dietary requirements when placing your order. Ingredients and allergens vary between platters and may include milk, wheat, eggs, sesame, tree nuts, fish and other allergens.

Not sure what will work best for your gathering?

Contact Medjoie and tell us about your event, number of guests and preferences. We're happy to help you put together the right combination.
