23 Jul Top Caterers in Cagayan de Oro – For Special Occasions and Other Catering Opportunities
When talking about food services, it isn’t all just about restaurants, cafes, and even fast foods. The unsung heroes of the food service are the professional caterers. These caterers have often been around for many years in one place, yet you never see them advertised on TV ads, highway tarpaulins, and you even seldom see a signage of their place. Their place of business is usually their residence, and when there is a signage, you don’t see a well-manicured restaurant or store window on the outside. And yet upon entering their business premises, they’re all business and very well equipped for every conceivable catering occasion they can think of.
So the next time you’re attending a large outdoor wedding or a garden party for your friend’s daughter’s debut, never take caterers for granted. They are doing a really unsung job setting up the place, and perhaps you might want to give particular attention to the really delicious and well prepared buffet meals by some of the best cooks in the catering food service.

Fablues is one of those caterers that you’ve probably heard of but can’t remember where you’ve seen them.
It’s probably because you’ve seen their signage along 13th and 15th Streets in Nazareth Subdivision.

Fablues is well known around the city for their really delectable pasta and lasagna dishes. It’s not unusual that they have several take-out orders per day for their lasagna and other viands that are picked up by customers for those small occasions that don’t really need full catering services.

The place is effectively run by Paz Fabello and her family. According to Ms. Fabello, her secret for so many years of cooking delicious dishes and desserts is being a loyal patron of Nestle Food Service.

The café itself offers in-house catering services for small to medium sized occasions and functions inside their two function rooms.
Many notable celebrities have taken time to actually visit and dine at Brewberry. This is because their desserts and cakes have already been making a name outside of Cagayan de Oro which piques the curiosity of these celebrities to try out the place.

For their outside catering services, Brewberry has had the distinction of being voted as one of the best restaurants and catering services with the Best Adobo. Some of the highlights of their outside catering services include the Ateneo versus NU volleyball event held at the Xavier University Gym last year, the XU annual alumni homecoming, and the ABS-CBN Kapamilya event held at Camp Evangelista. Celebrities that have visited Brewberry include Charo Santos.

Judith’s is another of those small but well-known mom-and-pop-neighborhood places that offer very good catering services for all occasions such as weddings, proms, graduations, engagements, birthdays, baptisms, and other special celebrations. They are located in Macasandig. They were the catering service that covered the food services at the Limketkai Complex during the famous “Roa’s in Concert” held in 2012.
Literally, there are virtually hundreds of catering services in the city, but most prefer to operate within the peripheries of their areas on the fringes of the city. However, during the annual Kumbira Food Festival held at the Limketkai Center during the city fiesta celebrations, most of these catering services – most especially the ones mentioned above – always make an appearance to show off their food dishes and compete in the different contest categories.
