Lunch cocktail, aperitif or dinner, several options are available to you.

The unmissable aperitif cocktail or “wine of honor”
Ideal for starting a meal gently and keeping your guests on the edge of their seats, this format does not replace dinner. It is a moment of sharing where we enjoy a glass accompanied by light salty pieces (appetizers, petit Fours).
For this type of cocktail, plan between 6 and 12 pieces per person, in order to maintain your appetite for the rest of the meal.
Then there is the lunch cocktail or dinner cocktail.
These formats replace a sit-down meal and favour fluidity. Perfect for professional events with a large number of guests, or simply to give your guests more freedom.
In this case, count between 16 and 24 pieces per person, with a balanced variety between hot/cold, sweet/salty, and vegetarian options.

Cocktail dinner vs buffet: what's the difference?
Confusion is common, but the experience is not the same.
For the buffet, diners serve themselves, usually with a plate and more cutlery, sitting or standing around tables.
The dinner or lunch cocktail offers a freer and more elegant experience, everything takes place while standing, and guests enjoy refined bites throughout the evening, without cumbersome plates.
The cocktail dinner encourages exchanges and creates a dynamic and sophisticated atmosphere. It is ideal for professional events, where exchange is often at the heart of these events.

The choice of your caterer is decisive for the success of your cocktail.
Any caterer can offer a cocktail, but a high-end cocktail party requires much more than elegant bites. What really stands out is:
- The quality of the products: fresh, local and seasonal.
- Generosity and balance: enough variety to satisfy all guests, with attention paid to diets.
- The staging: each piece is designed as a miniature dish, which seduces the eyes as well as the taste buds.
- The service: smooth, attentive and discreet, for a flawless experience.
