Paradise Catering, Fresno

Paradise Catering, located in Fresno Breakfast House, has standard restaurant decor: pastel-colored walls, murals, and white-clothed tables. But it also has elephants. The tusked duo—fake, of course—surrounds an extra-special banquet table that is set beneath a thick of hanging vines and flowers. At another table underneath a straw-covered cabana, a stuffed leopard lounges on a wooden bench beside a tablecloth-covered table.

Amid the eclectic decor, guests sup on breakfast, lunch, and dinner favorites such as french toast, made-to-order omelets, hearty lasagna, and chicken cordon blue. Guests aren’t restricted to onsite dining, either. The staff delivers its dishes to residences and party locations, though it’s hard to imagine going a whole meal without telling the animals you’re also stuffed.
