Mark,

Thank you again for such spectacular catering service for our recent events.  Our guests marveled at the variety and uniqueness of the menu, and I am still receiving compliments about the presentation and quality of the food.  Feel free to use me as a reference for prospective customers and you will be catering ALL of my events I the future.

Best regards,

Cafe Elite Restaurant & Catering - About Us

Café Elite’s “The Banchetto” NOW OPEN!

A private reception suite for gatherings of up to 50 guests!  Perfect spot for holiday parties, business luncheons and celebrations of any kind!

AND The Banchetto is now renting space on Saturdays for area artists, crafters and antique-ers to sell their wares - right across from Michigan City’s high traffic Lighthouse Place!  Call   219.873.1788 today to reserve your space!


Chef Mark has worked in the restaurant business and every job therein since graduating from the Cooking & Hospitality Institute of Chicago. Chef Mark helped open several restaurants for others when he decided it was time to open his own. He chose Michigan City because there was no restaurant here like the one he would create.

Finding the charming 1880’s house where Café Elite is located assured Mark he had made the right decision. Located near Lighthouse Place Outlet Mall, in a part of Michigan City that sorely lacked quality gastronomical choices, Café Elite & Catering opened in April of 2003.

Café Elite customers also know and appreciate Amanda Kosek. As Manager of Operations, she makes sure every diner’s experience is a pure delight. She and Mark share the same commitment to quality -- from the food, to the atmosphere, to the impeccable service each and every guest experiences.

Chef Mark, Amanda and the entire staff at Café Elite & Catering extend a warm welcome and look forward to serving you soon!
