Holiday Office Parties in Chicago: Catering Delivered or a Private Event at Le Sud

The end of the year is the best excuse to get the whole team around one table. Whether you want an easy after-hours party in your own office or a night out that feels like a real celebration, Le Sud Mediterranean Kitchen in Roscoe Village can host it or bring it to you. Here are your two options and what each one looks like.

Option 1: Bring Le Sud to Your Office

Keep everyone in the office after 5 p.m., pop a bottle, and let us handle the food. Our catering menu is built for sharing: half trays serve 8 to 10 people, and full trays serve 16 to 20.

Crowd favorites for an office party

  • Cocktail-style bites: Mini Beef Tenderloin Skewers, Mediterranean Chicken Skewers, Ham and Gruyère Croquettes, Shrimp Scampi, and a Charcuterie Platter with cured meats, cheeses, olives and fig jam

  • Easy to eat standing up: French baguette sandwiches like the Poulet Provençal and Roast Beef & Gruyère, mini baguette sandwiches, and Ham & Gruyère croissants

  • A full dinner spread: Steak & Frites, Pan-Seared Barramundi, Poulet Rôti, Garganelli Pasta, or Crab Spaghetti, with sides like Smashed Potatoes and Garlic Herb Frites

  • Something sweet: Tiramisu, Warm Chocolate Cake, Bread Pudding with caramel sauce, or Assorted Cookies & Brownies

Example: a 20-person after-hours party for about $27 per person

  • Assorted Baguette Platter, 24 halves: $190

  • Mediterranean Mezze Platter, full tray: $140

  • House Salad, full tray: $110

  • Assorted Cookies & Brownies, full tray: $100

  • Total: $540 (before tax and delivery)

Hot dishes arrive in oven-safe pans with reheating instructions. Add disposable plates, napkins and utensils, a chafing dish setup, or a beverage package, and your office is party-ready.

Good to know

  • Order at least 48 hours ahead; groups of 40 or more need 5 days' notice

  • $250 order minimum before tax, delivery and fees

  • Pickup at 2301 W. Roscoe St., or delivery within about 10 miles (the greater of $25 or 10% of the order)

  • A 50% deposit confirms your order; cancel 72 hours ahead for a full refund

  • Gluten-free and vegetarian options are available, so tell us about allergies when you order

Option 2: Book a Private Holiday Party at Le Sud

If your team deserves a night out, Le Sud brings the warmth of the South of France to Roscoe Village. We host groups from 10 to 250 guests, from a team dinner to a full-restaurant buyout.

Choose your space

  • The Salon (24 seated / 30 cocktail): department dinners in a semi-private setting with brick walls and banquettes

  • Salle du Soleil (50 seated / 70 cocktail): a private second-floor room with its own bar, restroom and AV, ideal for toasts or slides (access by stairs only)

  • Terrasse Chauffée (60 seated / 80 cocktail): our heated, enclosed winter sunroom, full of light

  • Dining Room + Salon (70 seated / 100 cocktail): for mid-size teams who want the main room's buzz

  • First Floor Buyout (120 seated / 180 cocktail): the dining room, Salon and Terrasse together

  • Full Restaurant Buyout (180 seated / 250 cocktail): the whole company, the whole restaurant

How the menu works

  • Family-style dinner in three tiers, with shared starters, mains, sides and dessert. Private dinners typically run $70 to $120 per guest.

  • Cocktail receptions with small bites, from $28 per person for two selections over one hour.

  • Holiday brunch on Saturday or Sunday, typically $40 to $60 per guest, with bottomless mimosas and Bellinis from $25 per person.

  • Hosted bar packages from $29 per person for two hours of beer and wine, up to premium and luxury spirits, plus a zero-proof package for non-drinkers.

Every space has a food and beverage minimum. Weeknight dinners have the lowest minimums, starting at $1,600 for the Salon, which makes a Tuesday or Wednesday party a smart way to stretch the budget. Minimums exclude 11% sales tax and 20% gratuity.

Tips for Planning Your Holiday Office Party

  1. Book early. December Fridays and Saturdays fill first. If those are taken, a weeknight in December or a "new year" party in January is easier to get.

  2. Count RSVPs, not invites. Use our tray sizes (8 to 10 per half tray, 16 to 20 per full tray) to plan food per person.

  3. Plan for dietary needs. Ask your team about allergies and preferences up front. Many of our dishes are vegetarian or gluten-free.

  4. Set the bar budget. Choose a hosted package, or run an open bar by consumption with a spending limit.

  5. Finalize the menu three weeks out for private events, so our team can prepare everything.
