At Unique Dining we care about your entire experience working with us.
We are a team of experienced caterers. Some of us have been working together for going on two decades now. We take care of our people so our people take the best care of you as a client. We love what we do, and our job is to bring that joy to every plate at every event.
We drop off hearty, count-on-able meals at corporate offices across the Twin Cities and serve weddings and events at venues and residences across Minnesota, including our HQ venue, Courtyards of Andover.
We are proudly Veteran-owned and offer military as well as non-profit rates. It's our honor to help those helping others.
We passionately believe everyone — our clients, our employees, members of our community and members of communities we might not be a part of — deserve to be treated with respect and as equals.
