Seattle has a rich food history of epic fish and wild-harvested produce. But Seattle’s thriving food scene is so diverse that you can order more than salmon or coffee from your desk. Think sushi, laksa, empanadas or rogan josh. The choices can seem endless. So to make finding the best catering easier, we’ve rounded up the best caterers serving Seattle. 

Best in Seattle

1. Corner Bakery Cafe (393 Strander Blvd., Tukwila)

Fans line up for crunchy salads like the Spinach Sweet Crisp for its savory mix of goat cheese, fruit, and strawberry dressing. Appetizers and desserts, like a Fresh Vegetable Basket with avocado ranch dipping sauce and a Cookie Basket with gooey chocolate chips, make sweet afternoon pick-me-ups.

2. Gyro House (2355 10th Ave., East Seattle)

Try the spit-roasted beef Gyro Sandwich served with juicy tomatoes, cucumbers, onion and the addictive tzatziki sauce. Or for more variety, order the Catering Combo Deluxe Buffet which includes the same Gyro meat plus chicken shawarma and kefta kabob along with falafel, hummus, and all the fixings.

3. Kigo Kitchen (105 1st Ave., South Seattle)

Brighten the team’s day with the Build-Your-Own Stir Fry Bar, with plenty of proteins like Five-Spice Pork and Green Onion Egg. Gluten-free options (including Lemongrass Chicken), and a veggie mix of broccoli, carrots, bok choy, and snap peas make this an easy order for the entire group.

3. Arista Catering (1920 Dexter Ave. N, Seattle)

Regular rounds of applause go to the hot and cold hors d’oeuvres for their variety and flavor. Tier 1 Hot Hors D’oeuvres, ordered by the dozen, include everything from Cheddar Cheese Puffs and Hot Sweet Salsa Meatballs to Vegetarian Egg Rolls and Spicy Boneless Buffalo Wings.

Best for Small Meetings

1. Kigo Kitchen (105 1st Ave., South Seattle)

Best for High Stakes Meetings

1. Chicago’s Pizza with a Twist (23623 104th Ave. SE, Kent)

Pick from the huge variety of pre-styled pizzas like Chicken Tikka Masala Pizza with tomato cream sauce and don’t forget to order a side of Samosas or Garden Salad. Or keep it simple with the Create Your Own Pizza option.

2. Chutney’s Queen Anne Indian (1100 Pike St., Seattle)

From the flaky Vegetable Samosas and vegetarian Aaloo Chole to the Lamb Rogan Josh, every dish earns a winning review for flavor. The Gulab Jamun milk dumplings for dessert are also popular and make a sweet ending.

3. Thai Fusion (15 Nickerson St., Seattle)

When networking is a must, the Appetizer Sampler with pot stickers, veggie rolls, crab wontons, and coconut shrimp makes handheld eating a breeze. Catering packages scale up for 10 or more people and include three entrees like Panang Curry, Broccoli Oyster Sauce, and Pad Thai.

Shake up the sandwich in the box routine with The Pasta Box Meal. It’s got a range of pasta and green salad choices (Macaroni & Cheese with Greek Salad is a standard) and even a meatball add-on.

3. Verve Bowls (734 N 34th St., Seattle)

Morning or afternoon, satisfy a hungry crowd with an Acai Bowl Bar. It hits the customization and the power foods trends with plenty of fruits and add-ins to please the thirsty, the hungry, and everyone in-between.

Best Mexican Catering

1. Taqueria Los Chilangos (4401 Wallingford Ave. N, Seattle)

Feed your crowd with the Street Soft Taco Bar. It includes your choice of meat and beans and all the fixings, but order a side of Chips, Salsa, Guacamole, and Pico de Gallo to make everyone even happier about their taco.

2. Los Agaves (1514 Pike Pl., Seattle)

The Breakfast Burrito is popular as a handheld breakfast option while the Taco Bar wins raves for its wide assortment of gluten-free proteins including Chicken Adobo and Lengua, with sautéed veggies on the side.

Crispy yet sublimely tender Alaskan fish tacos on the Taco Bar garner applause for a protein everyone can get behind. The included guacamole and cookies round out the meal.

Best Sandwich Catering

1. Corner Bakery Cafe (720 NW Gilman Blvd., Issaquah)

Best Italian Catering

1. Villa Italian Kitchen (1101 Supermall Way, Auburn)

2. Luciano’s Pizza & Pasta (2341 California Ave. SW, Seattle)

It may say “pizza” on their sign (and they are known to make a mean one), but the go-to order is Chicken Wings (hot, BBQ, or Italian with blue cheese or ranch sauce) and Meatball Parmesan Sandwiches when a different kind of finger food is required.

3. Mad Pizza (1321 Madison St., Seattle)

The Mad Pepperoni Pizza is a quick, crowd-pleasing option for last-minute orders, but the vegetarian options are many and the Mad Scientist gets its share of shout-outs for herbaceous, savory flavor.

---

Best Mediterranean Catering

1. Gyro House (2355 10th Ave., East Seattle)

If you are not convinced the gyro sandwich is the way to go, lean into the Veggie Plate which comes complete with falafel, spanakopita (spinach pie), and dolmas.

2. The Golden Olive  (521 Queen Anne Ave. N, Seattle)

Options here are à la carte so be sure to order the fan favorite Falafel with sides of Tzatziki and Hummus, rounded out with a House Salad or the Chicken Gyro.

3. The Halal Guys  (105 Yesler Way, Seattle)

The Gyro Platter has it all– spit-roasted beef with rice, lettuce, tomato, and pita bread– but fans of the hummus and proprietary white and red sauces can add those to the order, too.

Best Breakfast Catering

1. Tropical Smoothie Cafe (10445 NE 4th St., Bellevue)

3. Box Lunches Seattle (1920 Dexter Ave. N, Seattle)

Their business name might be a red herring because the breakfast- especially the Hearty Breakfast with scrambled eggs with melted cheese and chives, diced potatoes, bacon, seasonal fruit, coffee, and hot tea- is the hottest order on the menu.
