Campus Update
In fall 2023, Brescia University College and Western University announced that they have begun a process that will see Brescia fully integrate with Western as of May 1, 2024, at which point it will wind down operations as an affiliated university college.
We are unable to book additional catering for 2024 & 2025 at this time. Please stay tuned for updates.
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!
Bar Service
While our chefs are busy in the kitchen, additional staff from Food Services are ready to mix you a delicious cocktail. With multiple locations on campus that can be licensed, your guests are welcome to enjoy refreshing drinks including beer, wine, liquor and hiballs.
