Food & Beverage
Whether you are looking to heighten your event with a light lunch or a three course
dinner, our Food Services Team is here to support you and provide you with an unforgettable
dining experience!
The Mercato
Delicious, nutritious and diverse! Brescia’s dining hall, commonly known as the Mercato
(or market in Italian!), offers a variety of options to meet all dietary needs. Tim D’Souza, Brescia’s Red Seal Chef, ensures there is a strong focus on sustainability and healthy meal options for all
catering events on campus.
Our Food Services Team pride themselves on using seasonal, locally-sourced ingredients
for large formal events and small intimate dining experiences. Impress your guests
with a delicious meal from the Mercato!
