The Art of Cooking in an Artisanal Way
These are sample menus that reflect our signature European style cuisine. La Villette’s fine food, skillfully prepared by chef Mariquita Combes, is greatly influenced by the French, Italian and Eastern European immigration to Argentina. We will customize the menus and work with you for each catered event taking into consideration your budget, whether they are at the office or in an offsite venue.
