Our Place Restaurant
Our Place is a full-service restaurant operated by students in the Culinary Arts, Baking & Pastry Arts, and Hospitality Management programs. Menus, prices, and hours are dictated by student learning objectives.
The restaurant is open to the public during the Fall & Spring semesters. We offer French Classical dinners during the Fall semester. Global Cuisine is offered for lunch during the Spring semester. We are only open on Wednesday throughout the semester. We are open for 12 dates during each semester.
Our Place provides our students with classroom instruction and hands-on workplace experience. Both integral parts of their success in the Culinary Arts, Baking & Pastry Arts, and Hospitality Management fields.
