Local Café Provides Everything Gourmet

DiVine Events, a Las Vegas-based cafe and catering company, is often asked how they manage to create delicious eats for both cafe customers and catering clients. With a new menu, the executive chef is ready to spill some secrets!

Las Vegas, Nevada (I-Newswire) February 11, 2013 - With a name like DiVine, the café’s status is positioned to challenge standards and exceed expectations in food, service, value and ambiance. Aesthetically speaking, DiVine Café is rustic-chic; unlike most informal restaurants—marked by a constricted menu and less than amusing atmosphere—DiVine’s diversified options, eccentric décor and cheerful service is neatly bundled in about 900 square feet of space.

Seeking to defy the common perception that Las Vegas’ best gourmet eats are located on the Strip, DiVine Café’s Executive Chef melds the essence of connoisseur dining with everyday meals. To its commercial neighbors and curious locals who have discovered this gourmet treasure camouflaged as another corporate office, DiVine Café has a lot to offer in addition to being a secret haven for the hungry workforce dashing in for a pleasant and convenient lunch.

“We’re not trying to diminish the spirit of gourmet by making it affordable and expedient; our food is supposed to remind people that they deserve and truly want excellence and originality in day-to-day meals,” said Pam Howatt, owner of the café.

On the hotter side of the swinging doors, Chef David Lani orchestrates the DiVine kitchen to satisfy anywhere from 80 to 300 guests a day. That sounds impossible before knowing that the café caters breakfast, brunch and lunch for business functions including meetings, training seminars, photo and video shoots, birthdays, employee appreciation events and conferences.

With over a decade of experience in food preparation, kitchen, banquet, catering and a la carte operations for leading restaurants, country clubs and corporate dining facilities, Lani is an undeniable asset in DiVine’s kitchen lending unparalleled culinary talents combined with superior leadership.
