Breakfast for the client meeting
A client meeting often starts at 8 or 8:30 am. We deliver from 6:30 am, at the time you set: the breakfast is in place before the clients arrive. Quantities follow a simple rule: 2 mini pastries per person (3 up to 10 people), one madeleine, one 20 cl glass of juice and one 1-litre thermos of coffee or tea for 6 people.
| Headcount | Classic, delivery included | Full breakfast, delivery included |
|---|---|---|
| 10 people | €109.00 | €160.80 |
| 20 people | €189.00 | €340.80 |
Above 15 people, the full breakfast adds one fresh fruit skewer per person. The details are on the breakfasts and breaks page.
The prestige breakfast, on porcelain
To host the partners of another firm, a key client or a board meeting, the food stays the same. What changes is the presentation: pastries laid out on wooden boards, porcelain cups, a tablecloth, and a maître d'hôtel who welcomes guests and serves the coffee.
At L'Écrin Traiteur, a maître d'hôtel costs €250 excl. VAT for a 6-hour service, set-up and clearing included. For 20 people, the full breakfast and the maître d'hôtel come to €590.80 excl. VAT. The porcelain and table linen come from Options, on quote. One maître d'hôtel is enough for up to about fifty people: see how many maîtres d'hôtel for an event and our guide to the prestige breakfast.
The working lunch in the meeting room
When a meeting runs into lunchtime, the individual lunch tray means nobody has to leave the table: starter, main and dessert on one tray. Our six menus cost €28.90 excl. VAT for vegetarian, €29.90 excl. VAT for chicken and €30.90 excl. VAT for fish. For 10 people, allow €318.00 excl. VAT including delivery with vegetarian trays.
For something lighter, the lunch box (sandwich, starter and dessert) starts at €18.90 excl. VAT. The menus are on the lunch trays and lunch boxes pages. A closing with no fixed time is ordered like everything else: until 2 pm the day before.
Presentation and discretion
Deliveries are made by the L'Écrin Traiteur team. When you order, give us the name of the room, the set-up time and a contact at reception: the order is dropped where it will be served. Wooden boards and porcelain are requested in the quote; without that, the breakfast arrives with cups, napkins, sugar and stirrers.
The firm's cocktail reception
For a client evening or a new partner joining, the 8-canapé reception (L'Invitation, €29.90 per person excl. VAT) suits a two-hour event at the end of the day. For 50 guests, it comes to €1,695.50 excl. VAT with juice, water and delivery; with 12 canapés (La Réception), €2,245.50 excl. VAT. The savoury canapés are halal and pork-free, and the menu is alcohol-free; a 0% Chardonnay for the toast adds €152.10 excl. VAT for 50 people. See the cocktail reception packages and how many canapés per person.
