Culinaire International our story banner

Hospitality that feels personal, backed by a global standard

At Culinaire International, we believe that exceptional hospitality begins with genuine care for our clients, their guests, and the communities we serve. From front-of-house service to back-of-house execution, our people are what set us apart. Every member of the International team brings a spirit of service, a warm smile, and a commitment to excellence.

For over 30 years, we have partnered with some of the nation's most celebrated cultural institutions, event venues, hotels, and restaurants. Our collaborative approach begins with deep listening. We take the time to understand your culture, your goals, and your standards. We then build a program that integrates seamlessly into your world. Every operation is thoughtfully tailored, and every partnership is treated like a shared mission.

Culinaire chefs preparing food

In 2025, we joined Restaurant Associates, a company known globally as a leader in on-site dining management and premium catering. With over 75 years of expertise, R/A expanded its portfolio by partnering with premier clients to deliver memorable dining and hospitality experiences at leading business organizations, top higher education institutions, and preeminent cultural centers, all the while creating and operating notable, award-winning restaurants. R/A is a subsidiary of Compass Group, the world's leading foodservice organization.

As part of the R/A family of companies, Culinaire International combines entrepreneurial agility with global resources. This connection gives us access to industry-leading innovation, responsible sourcing, and sustainable best practices while maintaining the boutique-level attention and flexibility that clients have always valued in us.  

Our commitment to sustainability is woven into every aspect of our work. From sourcing seasonal ingredients from local farms to minimizing waste through proprietary technology, we see food as an agent to make a difference in the lives of our guests, the health of our planet, and the well-being of our communities. We have a long-standing commitment to responsible sourcing, fair food, and outreach. 



We believe that food brings people together, and it is our honor to help create those moments, one plate at a time.
