HOLIDAY CATERING

Save time and effort on food preparation this holiday season by letting the merchants of Montrose cater to you. We prefer you not to work so hard in the kitchen this holiday season. Instead, free up that precious time to spend with your friends and family. 

To begin, we feature an establishment from the beloved Gelsinger family whose reputation for quality smoked meats is as strong as its multi-generational roots in Montrose. Call Zeke's Smokehouse for good honest BBQ. Their savory smoked meats are cooked all day, so delicious and tender, they fall right off the bone. Visit zekessmokehouse.com for more information. Open 11am to 10pm at 2209 Honolulu Avenue.

A native of Parma, Italy, Chef Fausto Tinelli with Trattoria Allegria brings you the richest, most delicious Italian cuisine in the west. With classic Italian entrees, pizza, pasta, insalatas, desserts and specialty dishes every week, Trattoria Allegria goes above and beyond to satisfy your Italian food cravings with authenticity and style. Anything on the menu can be customized to cater your holiday party.

Last but not least, try Christmas with Seasoning Alley, fine Mediterranean Cuisine with a classic Middle Eastern menu of 122 dishes. We hear the falafel and shawarma are delicious.
