More on Délices catering

Wedding & event catering in Alexandria, Egypt

For over a hundred years, Délices has catered Alexandria's most important occasions — from a royal wedding in the 1930s to the weddings, galas and diplomatic receptions of today. Our full white-glove catering is built for events of 100 guests or more, anywhere in Alexandria and across Egypt.

A menu across three traditions

Délices grew up at the crossroads of Greek, French and Egyptian cooking, and your menu can draw on all three: French patisserie and éclairs, Greek mezze and baklava, Egyptian sweets, a live coffee station pulling Greek and Guatemalan blends, and the signature cakes that made our name. Every menu is designed with you rather than chosen from a list.

Service that disappears into the evening

Great catering is as much about service as food. Every Délices event includes butlers who greet your guests, a trained brigade of waiters who serve in synchrony, and a maître d' who runs your floor end to end — so you greet your guests instead of managing the night. It is the standard we have held for Egypt's palaces since 1937.
