Welcome!

The Lebanese cuisine is an ancient one, and can be traced back thousands of years to eras of Roman and Phoenician rule – but it hasn’t stopped evolving. Delicious seasonal vegetables, herbs, spices and oils make Lebanese food some of the healthiest in the world.

My name is Michel, and Lebanese food is my passion. Food by Michel offers catering for your home or office. We also host several market-stalls every month, with some of the best falafel you’ve ever tried.

Welcome, and thank you for your visit!

About Michel

I’ve been cooking professionally for 12 years, and as a hobby for a lot longer. Lebanon is known for many things, but anyone who has visited would agree that Lebanese cuisine is chief among them. I’ve run catering companies and headed restaurant kitchens, and now I focus on my own art, and hope to bring you something you’ll love.

I specialize in traditional mezza, but also have an inventive streak. Ever heard of mama ghannouj? Drop me a note if you’d like to try some.

Catering

Lebanese food is delicious, but takes a lot of time to make. A good table should cover a wide variety of mezza and dips, but with each dish taking between half an hour to two hours, pulling this off isn’t an easy feat.

I love catering. My company specializes in catering for wedding and small events, but I also love helping you host dinners at your home. Offering vary based on your needs and expected number of guests, but our service includes mezza, mains and desserts. You set the limit, according to your needs. Also, if you want Food by Michel can take care of decoration (flowers), tableware, and cutlery “(if available)” .

Or even my service to help you in the party or event. You only have to request it (it entails an extra expense). So you don’t have to worry about anything, just enjoy the party and the food!

If you look below you’ll find some of my most requested items along with pricing information.

But if you’d like to learn more, just give me a call on 06 1445 9943 or fill out the contact form. I’d love to help you customize the package for your specific event.

Everybody really enjoyed your food and service. We had an excellent night, and we are glad we asked you for the catering. We’ll definitely ask for your services again.

Group packages are available for groups of all sizes and to fit all tastes and budgets. If you’re planning a dinner, the average package is about €25,- per person and includes 6 varieties of mixed mezze. 

But the best package is the one that caters specifically to your requirements, so please get in touch with me and we’ll build one together.

The best tabbouleh we’ve ever had!

Food by Michel is our favorite market stall. The sandwiches are amazing, and the tabbouleh is the best we've ever tried, anywhere.

We want to thank you for the wonderful service and most tasteful food!

I did wonder about the extra dishes but when I received your message I understood that you included them as an extra. So many thanks!

We still have some leftovers and will enjoy these with the small group working today, myself included 😉 All the best for the New Year!

Marketplace

Markets are some of my favorite places, and one of our main activities. We have a permanent stand in three of Amsterdam’s busiest markets, and I’d love to give you a sample of our famous falafel if you stop by and say hello.

Biologische markt van Eesterenlaan

Head to the Biologische markt van Eesterenlaan every Wednesday to catch up with us. There’s a wide selection of fresh, seasonal mezza and dips waiting for you when you get here.
