The Truffles Fine Foods Journey — From Food Truck to Leading Vancouver Catering Company
Locally Rooted, Creatively Driven: Our People Make the Difference
Truffles Fine Foods began over 20 years ago as a food truck serving Vancouver’s film industry, delivering reliable, high-quality meals to cast and crew. Since then, we’ve grown into one of the most respected Vancouver catering companies, offering full-service catering for weddings, corporate events, private parties, events, baby showers and major city festivals.
Founded by Nin Rai, a passionate entrepreneur and hospitality visionary, Truffles is part of a growing portfolio of successful Vancouver restaurants and cafés, including the Garden Café at VanDusen Botanical Garden and the Time Out Café at the Richmond Oval.
At the heart of our company is our people. We proudly recruit local Vancouverites who are passionate about food, beverage, and service, and who love crafting inventive, globally inspired menus that elevate every event. Whether it’s a fusion-inspired cocktail reception or a beautifully curated plant-based wedding menu, our team thrives on creativity and connection.

Our Commitment to Sustainable Catering in Vancouver
As one of the most environmentally conscious Vancouver catering companies, we’re proud to implement eco-friendly practices like composting, recycling, and zero-waste initiatives at every event. We use compostable takeout containers and cutlery to reduce single-use waste and uphold our commitment to sustainability.
We also prioritize sourcing local ingredients whenever possible — not only to support regional farmers and producers, but because it makes our food taste fresh, vibrant, and unforgettable. From seasonal vegetables to ethically raised meats, our menus are built on quality and integrity.
We’re proud to work with respected community partners 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
Our People.
We're an equal opportunities employer
We offer competitive wages and benefits
We encourage our team to be environmentally conscious by encouraging public transportation, & car pooling to events
Our Commitment to the Environment
As one of the most sustainability-minded Vancouver catering companies, we believe that great food should be good for the planet too. At Truffles Fine Foods, sustainability isn’t a trend — it’s a core value woven into every part of our business.
We actively encourage clients to explore vegan, vegetarian, and plant-based menu options, which support both health and environmental goals. Our team takes conscious steps to reduce our footprint by carpooling or using public transit to events, composting and recycling wherever possible, and prioritizing repairing equipment over discarding it.
We also work closely with event designers and decorators to re-use floral arrangements, signage, and décor items — minimizing waste and maximizing creative impact across events.
To further our mission, we partner with like-minded organizations and local venues who share our passion for environmental responsibility.

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.”
