La Table du Récho - Humanist catering in Paris Caterer

La Table du RECHO is a humanist catering service that has been acting since 2019 as a social integration enterprise to support refugees in their apprenticeship to the catering professions. We cater for all your requirements, from breakfasts to cocktail parties and buffets.

Inventive market cuisine

Our recipes are refined, tasty and full of discovery, with an emphasis on plants. All our menus are concocted from local produce, the fruit of the labour of people committed to restoring a living world.

Towards long-term social and professional integration

Thanks to the guidance provided by professional chefs, we are able to pass on to our team, made up of refugees on integration schemes, the keys to a job that has a strong positive impact on people and the environment.

No social benefits without ecology

We pay particular attention to the choice of products we cook, out of respect for what nature has to offer: our fruit and vegetables are organically grown, our meat and dairy products are farm-raised and our fish is sustainably caught.

CATERING SERVICES

All our made-to-measure services are prepared in our own 300m² kitchen laboratory in Issy-les-Moulineaux (92130).

Our aim is to reconcile the image of committed, militant catering with that of a top-of-the-range service. We carefully select our porcelain and stoneware crockery to enhance your table and our recipes. Our team guarantees professional delivery, either by ourselves or by a committed, sustainable external service provider.

All our offers are adaptable, with or without service, depending on your needs and the nature of our event.

Our ethical charter

TRANSMISSION

We provide sympathetic support to refugees on integration contracts as they work towards a professional career. On a daily basis, we try to pass on to them the keys to responsible catering, with a strong commitment to ecological issues.

VEGETAL

We highlight the richness of the plant world through original, gourmet recipes: the excellence of the products we work with is our priority! We take care to reduce our impact at every stage of production, so all our cereals and vegetables are organic and grown on local farms. Over 70% of our menus are vegetarian or flexitarian.

ORGANIC, LOCAL AND IN SEASON

100% of our produce is in season, and 80% is organic.

Our products are local, French and sourced through short distribution channels. Chocolate, citrus fruit and coffee are fair trade. We minimise their use in our recipes.

SUSTAINABLE

In our kitchens, respect for the environment is our top priority. We use new equipment for better fluid and energy management, our use of non-reusable plastic is limited to what is strictly necessary, and our cleaning products are ecological and biodegradable.
