Chef/Owner Paresh Thakkar opened the restaurant in September of 2011. Located at 144 Mitton St. S. He had previously worked at Paddy Flaherty’s, Fanshawe College, Lola’s Lounge, Bertoldi’s Trattoria, The Trough Dining Co., along with providing cooking classes at Loblaws, The LCBO and The Cheese Store.
Upon opening Personal Touch Eatery & Catering, the location provides a place for Chef Paresh to both cater to all types of functions, and create and innovate, trying new flavour combinations with weekly specials which include soup, salad and dips.
We also keep a freezer full of chef prepared meals and soups. Available in two sizes to feed a couple or a family. We also prepare our own sauces, jams, chutneys, spice blends, etc that change regularly. Click on the online ordering link to see current availability.
