Design Cuisine
Design Cuisine is a nationally recognized, full-service catering company. Our growth from a small boutique caterer to a leader in the Washington, DC marketplace is attributed to three primary areas of concentration: the development of a knowledgeable, responsive sales staff, the creation of a highly organized professional kitchen and the acquisition of an extensive collection of unique rental equipment and linens. Now, after 35 years of leading the Washington, DC catering and event industry, the company continues to provide the innovative menus, quality food preparation, meticulous service, and attention to detail that first defined Design Cuisine style.
