Michele’s Bistro appreciates the opportunity to serve you on your special occasion! We’re a family-run small business that has worked in the industry for 4.5 decades. We have roots in traditional off – premise catering and continue offering the best food and service at halls and residences.
Michele’s Bistro offers drop-off catering as well! We freshly prepare your food selections, deliver and set them up for your guests to enjoy! Where there is no kitchen to work out of, we often use our custom food trailer as a mobile kitchen, so feel free to have your event in your backyard, tent, hall, or barn. No kitchen….no problem!
