The restaurants are fully equipped to let the students’ creativity shine

Students from various culinary, pastry-making, management and service programs handle the preparation of the dishes and desserts, as well as their service, as part of their practical courses.

The restaurant’s opening hours are in accordance with the class schedule and study programmes, which also means that the menu changes throughout the year.
