BEST CATERING IN VANCOUVER: HOW DELGADO & CO. WON A NATIONAL AWARD IN JUST 10 MONTHS!
BEST CATERING 2026 AWARD TO DELGADO & CO.
In a city as competitive as Vancouver, catering companies open every year. Very few stand out. Even fewer are recognized beyond the local level. That’s why winning a national culinary award within our first ten months of operation was never something we expected — but it confirmed exactly why we started Delgado & Co. in the first place.
This recognition didn’t come from flashy marketing or cutting corners. It came from consistency, intention, and an obsession with doing things properly from day one.
What “The Best Catering” Actually Means
When people search for the best catering in Vancouver, they are rarely just looking for food. They are looking for reliability, creativity, and a team they can trust with an important moment.
Great catering is not defined by how much food is on the table, but by how seamlessly an event runs, how guests feel, and how memorable the experience becomes. From timing and service to flavors and storytelling, catering is hospitality in motion.
At Delgado & Co., our goal was never to be the biggest catering company in Vancouver. It was to be one of the most thoughtful.
Starting Delgado & Co. With a Clear Vision
Delgado & Co. was founded with a simple but demanding philosophy: treat every event, no matter the size, with the same care as a fine dining service.
From our earliest events, we focused on:
Menus designed with purpose, not filler
Ingredients chosen for quality and seasonality
Clear communication with clients
Service that feels warm, calm, and professional
We intentionally avoided pre-set packages and cookie-cutter menus. Every event was approached as its own project, with its own rhythm, needs, and story.
Recognition on a National Level
Less than a year after launching, Delgado & Co. was honored with a national award recognizing excellence in catering and culinary execution. For a young company, this kind of recognition is rare — and deeply meaningful.
The award acknowledged not only food quality, but also consistency, creativity, and the ability to deliver high-level experiences outside of a traditional restaurant setting. In other words, it validated the idea that catering can be just as refined, intentional, and impactful as fine dining.
For us, it was a moment of pause and pride — and then straight back to work.
Why Delgado & Co. Stands Out in Vancouver’s Catering Scene
Vancouver has no shortage of catering options, but clients consistently come to us looking for something more personal and elevated.
What sets Delgado & Co. apart is our approach. We don’t just ask how many guests you have — we ask why you are gathering. That answer shapes everything from menu design to service flow.
Our catering services are known for:
Chef-driven menus with depth and balance
Clean, refined presentation
Smooth execution from start to finish
Experiences that feel intentional, not mass-produced
Whether it’s a corporate event, private celebration, or intimate dinner, our focus remains the same: make the host feel confident and the guests feel cared for.
From Private Dinners to Large-Scale Events
One of the reasons Delgado & Co. gained national recognition so quickly is versatility. We move seamlessly between intimate private chef experiences and larger catered events without sacrificing quality or attention to detail.
That flexibility allows us to scale thoughtfully while maintaining the standards that define our brand. Growth has never meant dilution — it has meant refinement.
What the Award Really Represents
Winning a national award in our first ten months was not a finish line. It was a reflection of the trust our clients placed in us and the standards we hold ourselves to every day.
It represents:
Long prep days and calm service
Menus tested, refined, and simplified
Listening closely to clients’ needs
Delivering consistently, even under pressure
Recognition is gratifying, but the real success is when a client tells us they actually got to enjoy their own event.
