WatsThePlatter is a Toronto catering company led by Chef Valencia, a self-taught Jamaican chef. We cook big Caribbean flavour from scratch for birthdays, weddings, office lunches, private dinners and weekly meal prep, and we bottle our favourite sauces so you can take that flavour home.
335 Yonge St, Toronto. Grab a plate, stock up on our sauces, or come say hi to Chef Valencia.
Chef Valencia learned the business the hard way, serving customers in a busy restaurant. Then she took her Jamaican cooking on the road, catering birthdays, weddings and office parties and selling out pop-ups across the city. Now WatsThePlatter has a home of its own: our new store at World Food Market, 335 Yonge St. Same food, same love, and now you know where to find us.
We’re rooted in our community and committed to giving back. From sourcing local produce to working with community organizations, we strive to make a positive impact and enrich the lives of those around us. You’ll find us cooking at World Food Market on Yonge Street, at pop-ups around the city and at your celebrations. Every dish is made from scratch with real Caribbean spice, so it’s fresh, flavourful and full of personality.
