About my bistro
OVERVIEW
What started as a grab-n-go counter in 2018 is now Ottawa-Gatineau’s newest solution for small-scale event catering. Built by the team behind My Catering Group, you can expect the same leading level of quality, service, and creativity from My Bistro.
My Bistro is drop-off Catering: a better way to cater small-scale meetings and events
Not every event needs all the bells and whistles. That’s why we created My Bistro—our new solution to cater small-scale meetings and events that don’t require service.
From our head office in Gatineau, we receive, prepare, and deliver every order made through our user-friendly e-commerce platform. It doesn’t matter where you are in the National Capital Region, we deliver right to your doorstep for a flat fee with as little as 72 hours notice.
our Approach to menu Creation
In creating our menu we tried to strike the perfect balance between simplicity, variety, and brevity without sacrificing taste. We wanted you to feel excited about break time, but not so overwhelmed by options that it made ordering feel like a chore. We think we did a pretty good job—and according to our customers, they think so too.
