Although I live in a most diverse area, I cannot find any local Catering that will provide Portuguese food with drop off service! I am at wit's end. Can anyone shed some light on this for me? I am planning a "Jack & Jill" Shower for my daughter in March. 70-90 guests expected. Most guests are Portuguese, and I would like at least two choices of Portuguese Dinners, with perhaps roasted potatoes and rice. Drop off service is fine!

I did visit every restaurant in the area, but they don't have the space to have a DJ, and for the few that did, they were asking almost $25.00 per person. I have a lovely Hall already, but cannot find any Caterer that will be able to accommodate. Help?

Can anyone give me some ideas?

How many people will be at the shower? What is your budget per person? Does the hall you are renting have any restrictions on the food being served? i.e. must the food be provided by a licensed caterer or restaurant?

Default Here's a few to try...

It's been a while since I was in that area, but have you called Cafe Funchal? http://cafefunchal.com/functions.html (broken link). I don't know if they cater or just have a function hall.

DeAvila's in Taunton is a bit further away, but they have a good Portuguese menu and their food is good.http://www.deavilascatering.com/intbuffets.htm. They might travel to your location.

You could also try M&C Restaurant on Belleville Ave,
(508) 993-2219.
D&D may do special menus, http://www.danddcaterers.com/aboutus.html
Have you called Antonio's? You could try Sagres in Fall River, too. That's about all I can think of.

Good luck!

Maybe Fall River would have one.

In Fall River there is Zitas Portuguese & American cuisine, they cater. I have not been there, but I am sure that you could sample the portuguese food and see if it's what you are looking for.

Hello, I am the owner of M & C Cafe if you would like a quote for your function contact me at (508) 993-2219 and I could probably give you a price for your function once we plan out a menu. When you call just ask for mike.
