Fresh. Innovative. Delicious.
We combine fresh ingredients with our passion for catering. The result is artfully prepared dishes that put a twist on tradition and embrace the ethos of modern contemporary cuisine.
Food, glorious food.
ALWAYS LOCAL & FRESH: Our cuisine ranges from simple to sophisticated, and It all starts with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Fresh from the oven baked goods made in house, or from Vienna Bakery. Flavourful produce from Urban Reclaim, the Little Potato Company and Doef’s Greenhouses. Meats and seafood from Irving’s farms and Wild Game Consultants, and of course, the best Ice Cream and Sorbets from Pinocchio Ice Cream. All from Edmonton and surrounding areas - delivered daily to our professional kitchen, prepared with passion, and enjoyed by you.
STATE OF THE ART EQUIPMENT, TALENT & TEAMWORK: Then the magic happens. Using those aforementioned ingredients, our experienced and talented chefs transform them into something truly special. Unique traditional and internationally inspired dishes are created in our state of the art professional kitchen using fresh herbs & spices, innovative cooking techniques and artful presentations. Never boring or bland, we pay attention to every detail, orchestrating the preparation, delivery and on-site presentation of every delightfully surprizing bite. We invite you to experience the Mercer’s difference.
Fresh. Local. Seasonal.
There are many elements to being a successful caterer - service, professionalism, attention to detail... but at the core, it's all about the food. Not just any food though, and that's why we put in the extra effort to source seasonal produce picked at the peak of flavour and freshness by local growers. We work closely with local meat suppliers for the freshest seafood, perfect cuts of meat, and deliciously seasoned and smoked deli meats. Our fresh baked goods arrive daily, and we source only fresh, locally grown herbs and garnishes. Why do we go the extra mile finding our quality ingredients? Because supporting quality local growers and producers is the right thing to do… and yes, you can taste the difference!
Creative Presentation
Anybody can serve smoked salmon... but what about salmon with smoke? Instead of a (previously frozen) shrimp ring, how about 'Shrimp Shots' - a fresh jumbo shrimp with our signature house-made cocktail sauce in a shot glass - delicious, (and safe from double dippers)! Our list of creative options goes on, and they're all proven winners. Give us a call and let's explore the many ways we can help you WOW your guests and create a culinary experience they'll remember. Now that's EATertainment!
Innovative food
We're often asked, "What sets you apart from other caterers?" - Answer, "We're deliciously different". Starting with fresh, local and seasonal ingredients, we take it to the next level. Even our traditional offerings (like perogies, cabbage rolls, prime rib, etc.) benefit from the Mercer's treatment - they're still the foods you love, just a little brighter, more flavourful, tender, and altogether more memorable. Where we really shine is in our modern contemporary cuisine with unique recipes that you won't find anywhere else. From appetizers to entrées, our chefs use an array of cooking techniques, spices and international ingredients that bring out the flavour, texture and taste of the food, delighting your guests with something deliciously sophisticated and surprising.
