Saffrons Gourmet Catering

In 1991 Saffron’s Caribbean Restaurant opened the first of it’s restaurants at 2801 38th Avenue North in St. Petersburg Florida. The restaurant had over 70 seats and provided Catering. With a unique product, strong management and an aggressive marketing plan, Saffron’s was soon one of the best-known restaurants and caterers in the Tampa Bay Area.

With several Best of the Bay Awards for Fine Dining and numerous favorable reviews in the St. Petersburg Times and Tampa Tribune, our reputation grew. The quality and uniqueness of our food and a thriving business generated by personal testimonials and referrals served as the key mechanism for Saffron’s growth into a household name.

Through our years of food experience, Saffron’s has continued to developed an innovative style of cooking that brings flavor, nutrition and eye pleasing dishes together to create a new pleasant experience for food connoisseurs and the average person with a healthy appetite.

Unfortunately, on December 31, 2006, the last Saffron’s restaurant at 1700 Park St. closed and Catering by Saffron’s was born.

Catering by Saffron’s continues the tradition of quality food and service that Saffron's is known for; Like the spice, which is the most precious and most expensive spice in the world.

The Saffron filaments, or threads, are actually the dried stigmas of the saffron flower, "Crocus Sativus Linneaus". Each flower contains only three stigmas. These threads must be picked from each flower by hand, and more than 75,000 of these flowers are needed to produce just one pound of Saffron filaments, making it the world’s most precious spice. However, because of saffron's strong coloring power and intense flavor, it can be used sparingly. Saffron is used both for its bright orange-yellow color and for its strong, intense flavor and aroma.

Catering by Saffron’s offers hand picked menus, which reflects the time and care that it takes to produce Saffron.
