egora Catering-Lexikon

Canapés encompass a diverse selection of vegetarian, meat and fish dishes as well as sweet desserts, forming a comprehensive catering offering of finger food, buffets and menus. These small, refined dishes whet the appetite and are known in French cuisine as „amuse gueule“ or „amuse bouche“. They are conveniently served on platters or plates, so that no cutlery is needed.

Canapés in catering

Finger food provides practical snacks that can be eaten without cutlery and is suitable for a wide range of events. Popular variants include:

  • Skewers
  • Mini burgers
  • Vegetable sticks

The range extends from soups and quiches to elaborate menus and allows for creative culinary artistry for both private and business occasions.

Canapés at celebrations and events

Canapés are ideal for birthdays, weddings, company anniversaries and conference catering. As a guide, 2–4 canapés per guest are recommended as an appetiser and 10–12 per person for buffets. Buffets and menus can be individually adapted to customer wishes in order to delight a variety of guests.
