Restaurant

A unique experience designed to exceed your expectations!

Pacific Institute of Culinary Arts was the first private training facility in Canada with a fine dining restaurant and bakeshop on the premises. Students in our Culinary Arts program operate the restaurant for the final portion of their training. "Real-world" experience ensures our students are prepared for placement in top restaurants and hotels worldwide. Under the direction of our Chef Instructors, students design and prepare a three-course menu weekly. To master all aspects of restaurant organization, our Restaurant Instructors guide students through formal guest service.

Our menus change weekly so that we are able to offer our guests a constant source of the freshest quality foods available, as well as a variety of seasonal choices.

The following is a sampling of our Monday to Thursday a la carte lunch and dinner menus (which changes weekly):
