LIGHTS, CAMERA, FOOD
Truffles Fine Foods began in 2005 as a caterer to Vancouver’s bustling film industry. Quickly our reputation grew as one of Hollywood North’s top-quality caterers. Since then we've opened two Cafes: Garden Café at VanDusen and Time Out Café at the Richmond Oval and have catered thousands of events throughout the lower mainland.
Although we still cater to film, we’ve also worked on iconic City-Wide events such as: The 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games, Honda’s Celebration of Lights and Music Festivals like the International Jazz Festival, Vancouver’s Folk Festival and Skookum Music Festival. Our highly skilled team is lead and operated by local Vancouverites, who continue to push the boundaries of delivering great food and service, within any budget.
Sustainability & Social Responsibility
Together we can make the world a better place. Truffles Fine Foods is committed to ensuring our best practices reflect environmental concerns. At each event we make certain that recycling is available for you and your guests, and food is properly composted. Additionally our organization has partnered with local companies that help provide important community services such as:
Growing Chef's | Local food education for kids
Vancouver Food Runners | A organization that takes surplus and donates it to local food related charities
Glorious Organics | Local organic produce supplier reducing our greenhouse submissions

Testimonial
JORDAN KYLE
“We were so happy with the service from Truffles right from the quote process, to the tasting, to the execution day-of. We had some logistics issues with our venue and Truffles was able to solve them pro-actively prior to the event and on-site as well.
Knowing events, I’m sure things didn’t go perfectly, but from our view – everything was seamless. The food was delicious, served hot and the plating was beautiful. The service was efficient and professional and we had tons of compliments on the food.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Truffles to anyone! We are so thankful to have had them as our wedding caterers.”
