When should I order a 5-course meal?

Because a 5-course meal is so elaborate, it is more well-paced and it can take some time to complete the meal from start to finish. For that reason, the best occasions for a 5-course meal are those where you can take your time sitting around the dinner table. This gives you the opportunity to savour each dish, enjoy the spaces in between, and relish in conversation with friends and family. 

5-course meals are a more traditional and formal style of dining, so they are well-suited to events that require a sense of luxury and exuberance. With two canapés, entrées, and mains per person, there is no shortage of incredible food going around. Order a 5-course meal when you are looking to treat friends & family or impress a client with a delectable meal. 

Another reason you may want to order a 5-course meal is if you’d like a banquet-style of eating, where you can sample and enjoy several smaller dishes instead of just one or two larger dishes. This allows you to enjoy more flavour sensations and explore the signature cooking style of your private chef. 

Is a 5-course meal too much food? 

If you haven’t eaten a full-course meal before, then 5 courses can sound like a little too many. However, each 5-course meal is carefully planned by our private chefs to deliver a harmonious and complete dining experience that’s not too little nor too much. Each dish is carefully portioned so as to not be too heavy on the stomach, and each course will complement the one that came before it. 

The courses in this meal are not as large as a traditional serving but designed to slowly build your appetite and then satisfy it. You will not be bombarded with one dish after the other, but have the opportunity to sit and relish the afterglow of each course. These short breaks also give you the chance to digest your food and prepare for the next meal. By the end of the 5 courses, the goal is for you to be feeling as satisfied as eating one large meal.
