Catering by Centro

Restaurant Takes A Catering Bow
Buoyed by a longstanding restaurant pedigree among Torontonians, Centro extends its culinary prowess beyond its upscale dining location at Yonge and Eglinton with the launch of Catering by Centro. The catering menu is a showcase of Centro classic simplicity and includes a diverse sushi and international cheese selection designed to delight intimate events for 10 to grand-scale occasions for 500. The new division can also manage event details from décor to rentals and entertainment.

Onsite at the restaurant, a major renovation and expansion has created four luxurious private dining areas accommodating groups from eight to 60 people. Full restaurant capacity is 200 people with exclusivity available.
