Catering is the element of an event that most affects the guest experience. The space can be spectacular, the view can be perfect, the program can be well designed — and yet, if the food arrives cold or the service is slow, that is what guests remember.
The advantage of integrated hotel catering over external catering is not only about quality — it is about logistics. When the kitchen is in the same building as the event, service timing is predictable.
What hotel catering means versus external catering
Temperature and presentation. La Makha’s kitchen is in the same building as Etro Rooftop. Dishes are prepared and served at the exact right moment.
- Menu coherence. The chefs designing the event menu are the same ones who operate La Makha daily.
- Unified service. The front-of-house team serving the event knows the space and is part of the same hospitality team.
- Format flexibility. The hotel kitchen can produce both canapés for cocktail format and four-course seated dinners.
Etro + La Makha: the gastronomic concept for events
La Makha defines its cooking as a journey through Colombian products treated with haute cuisine techniques. For events at Etro, that same philosophy applies in an adapted format.
- Cocktail format — sharing plates: Colombian oceans dishes (Pacific ceviche, Caribbean sea preparations, Andean tubers and vegetables) in portions that allow a table to explore multiple flavors. You can read more about how this concept works in the group dining guide at Etro Rooftop.
- Seated dinner format: for events requiring a more structured program, La Makha can design a four to six-course menu at the same level as the restaurant’s regular offering.
- Welcome canapés: for events with a reception phase before the main program, La Makha can prepare a selection of gourmet canapés.
Capacities: 80 seated, 150 cocktail
- Seated dinner — up to 80 people. With tables arranged in the rooftop space, the seated dinner configuration allows a structured program with a served multi-course menu.
- Cocktail format — up to 150 people. Without fixed tables, the cocktail format allows greater mobility among guests — ideal for networking, product launches or celebrations where fluid interaction is part of the objective.
Audiovisual equipment and lighting
For events requiring presentations, Etro Rooftop has integrated audiovisual equipment. The space’s lighting is adjustable — both in color temperature and intensity.
