What to Order: Our Top Catering Picks
Not sure what to serve your guests? Here are some of our most popular catered dishes—perfect for pleasing a crowd.
1. Shuba (Layered Beet Salad)
Think of it as the jewel of Russian party food. This vibrant, multi-layered salad features smoked salmon, beets, carrots, potatoes, and a touch of mayo. Stunning to look at and even better to eat.
2. Pirozhki (Stuffed Bread Rolls)
Each order includes 12 golden-baked pirozhki stuffed with your choice of meat, dried fruit or cabbage. Warm, filling, and always a hit with kids and adults alike.
3. Smoked Gouda Spread
It’s a fan favorite for a reason. Smoky, creamy, and served with pita and crackers, this appetizer disappears fast, so order more than you think you need.
4. Olivye Salad (Russian Potato Salad)
More elegant than its American cousin, this salad features diced potatoes, peas, pickles, and carrots, all mixed with a light dressing. It’s a must-have for summer events or buffet-style meals.
5. Blini Platters
Thin, crepe-style pancakes served with sweet or savory fillings—perfect for brunches, bridal showers, or kids’ parties.
Want something custom? We’re happy to curate a menu that works for your group. Just reach out and let us know what you’re dreaming of. We often make large batches of our desserts as well (such as Pavlova or sheets of Royal Poppyseed Cake) for weddings, showers and birthday parties.
Why Russian Food Makes Catering Memorable
Let’s be honest. Most catered meals are forgettable. They’re safe, neutral, and barely seasoned. But Russian food brings a different kind of comfort. It’s hearty without being heavy. Unique without being weird.
