Events and Catering
The Schwab Residential Center's Vidalakis Dining Hall, surrounding courtyards, and numerous breakout rooms are the event spaces of choice on the Stanford campus, due in no small part to the award-winning cuisine of Executive Chef Raul Lacara and the friendly and efficient service of the Schwab Executive Dining staff.
Earning the coveted Financial Times Executive Dining Award four years running for the world's finest food, Schwab Executive Dining's on-premises kitchen under Chef Lacara's leadership consistently earns high praise for its culinary excellence:
"Superb!" "Too good!" "Delicious." "Fantastic." "First class!." "Food was unbelievable!"
"Wow!" "Healthy and fresh." "Fabulous." "Outstanding!" "Quality, quality, quality. Quite amazing!"
"We especially appreciate the thoroughly professional service by your staff."
"Your efforts reflected a seamless transition from initial planning to the flawless implementation of our plans."
"Can I get some of the recipes?"
Focusing on fresh, sustainable local ingredients, Chef Lacara and his staff have created sophisticated menus for you to choose from or they can create a menu tailored to the specific needs of your event.
