Standing receptions have a language of their own
Cocktails and receptions are events where guests move around, talk and meet each other. The food has to keep up with that movement: dishes that can be eaten in one bite, keep hands clean, look elegant and stay fresh for an hour. We design our cocktail menus around these principles.
The success of a cocktail party often comes down to the right quantity and the right timing. We plan the variety of canapés, the number of pieces per guest and the intervals between rounds according to the length of the event, so guests never go hungry yet never feel heavy. A short opening cocktail and a long reception that replaces dinner need different approaches.
Menu options
Olive oil canapés inspired by Aegean cooking, mini salads made with fresh herbs, seafood tartares and small hot bites form the backbone of our menus. We also prepare selections with international flavours and mini desserts. Vegetarian and vegan canapés are an equal part of the menu.
Cocktail formats
- Passed service: Our staff carry canapés among the guests so the flow never stops.
- Buffet and display tables: Cold and hot selections arranged to catch the eye.
- Stations: Cheese and charcuterie, meze, seafood or dessert stations.
- Dinner-style reception: A more filling format enriched with small plates.
Presentation and atmosphere
At a cocktail party presentation matters as much as the menu itself. We use trays, stands, ceramic and wooden serving ware chosen to suit the concept of the event. Outdoors, especially on hot summer evenings, we set up display areas in the shade with chilled equipment to protect the cold chain.
Corporate receptions and openings
For store openings, product launches, gallery events and corporate receptions we can create a presentation that fits your brand identity. Once the guest list and running order are known, we plan service so it does not clash with speeches and presentations.
Private celebrations
Birthdays, anniversaries, graduations and welcome cocktails before a wedding are among the events we prepare most often. We set up at a villa, in a garden, on a boat or at a rented venue, and clear the area at the end of the night.
How we work
Share the date, duration, approximate guest count and venue. We suggest two or three different menu concepts and finalise your choice with a tasting. On the day our team is at the venue early, so everything is ready while you welcome your guests.
From our central kitchen in Dirmil we serve venues in central Bodrum, Yalıkavak, Türkbükü, Torba, Bitez and the rest of the peninsula. Fill in the form or message us on WhatsApp to get a quote for your cocktail party.
