Services
La Cuisine was established in 1981 by Ben and Patty Bloom in a shoreline cottage in Guilford. We began as a bakery, with Ben and Patty scouring the New York Times and a few great cookbooks for interesting twists on the old favorites. When La Cuisine moved to the Guilford Green, more savory items were added to the repertoire, and catering soon followed.
Each week we are creating a variety of amazing prepared dinners featuring La Cuisine's healthy proteins, sides, and veggies. You can place your order online by Tuesday for a dinner for two or four which you can then either pick up curbside or have delivered on Thursday. Delivery and curbside available in Branford, Guilford, and Madison.
La Cuisine has been at the forefront of award-winning CT catering and creative food for over 30 years. Our team of passionate, talented and dedicated professionals has produced thousands of outstanding culinary creations and exceptional celebrations. As creative and inventive as our staff can be, it all begins with listening to understand what you, our client, are looking for.
When you think of your wedding day, what is most important to you? What are those elements that will make it a day that truly feels like it was made for you? Our planning process begins with a personalized consultation so that our team can really get to know you. We go beyond just "What color linen would you like" but ask more in depth questions like, "What inspires you?" and "Tell us something that makes you love your spouse to be."

Tim and the team at La Cuisine were exceptional! The food was outstanding and people couldn't say enough about it. We used them for our Wedding and rehearsal dinner and they just crushed it! Tim really took the time to listen to us when describing the food we like and what style we were going for and made the perfect menu recommendations. We wanted people to rave about the food at our wedding and that's exactly what happened. They are top notch and we couldn't speak more highly of them.

We always have a great time when we bring a gang there from the Evergreen Woods retirement community to enjoy a birthday brunch. The soups are great, too. Lovely staff, decor, cool service. Only flaw: the tables seem too tall for the chairs, sometimes (us shorties are sensitive about that kinda stuff!).

La Cuisine is a gem - in a perhaps somewhat non-descript shell is one great restaurant. Once you enter, you immediately know you've come to the right place - warm, inviting, pleasant surroundings. The wait staff is competent without being overbearing - the seating arrangements are comfortable - you know there are others around, but are you are not crowded in. But, it's the food that really sets La Cuisine apart.
High quality ingredients - many of which are locally sourced. Generous portions without being overblown, servings are attractively plated and served at the right temperature. BTW - their coffee is from a local roaster and is worth the trip alone. We recently enjoyed fresh bagels, lox, capers, tomatoes, onions, and cream cheese - a not uncommon dish, but prepared beautifully and it tasted way above average.
We've eaten here for both breakfast and brunch, but not lunch, so can't comment there. But, as a breakfast aficionado, I heartily recommend La Cuisine. There is a very obvious effort on the part of the waiters, the chefs, and the management to ensure that you enjoy your meal - a not so common feeling in other locales. Oh - their Take-Out selections are worthy, as well - make sure to grab some of their homemade granola on the way out

What a fantastic evening we had at our 1920's Flapper Bash! Many of the guests commented and shared that it was one of the greatest parties they've been to, EVER. We have La Cuisine to thank for making it possible. Each and every person that came from La Cuisine was kind, eager to serve, classy, helpful, approachable and down to earth. Debbie was fantastic, as were all of the chefs, wait staff and Jess, the bartender.
What a crew! The food was absolutely delicious, and the CAKE. the cake was phenomenal. Truly everything was done with excellence. We plan on teaming up with you all at our next opportunity in the future!

A terrific place - I've been to the market dozens of times for breakfast or lunch, and I rarely leave without picking up something for dinner. The food is very good (especially welcome considering there's nothing of comparable quality nearby), and over the years I've been going, the service has been remarkably consistent in its professionalism and warmth.
I've also used La Cuisine for catering a lunch for 100+ guests under pretty challenging conditions. The food was very good and beautifully presented. Again, I was impressed with the staff -friendly and yet unobtrusive. The planning process was smooth and easy, and Michael listened closely to all my ideas and improved them. Highly recommended.

I love La Cuisine for brunch, and have never been disappointed. I've eaten there several times over the past 5 years, and have found the quality is very consistent - excellent food, great service, good prices. I recommend the corn beef hash - like none you've had before - chunks of beef, not mush, with lovely crispy well-seasoned potatoes. This past weekend I had the Swiss chard and white bean omelet with cheese - also delicious.
The coffee is strong and tasty, and the staff kept my cup filled. On your way out pick up two containers of the bourbon spiced pecans. Two, because one to share and one to keep!
