THE DINING ROOM at The Culinary Institute of Canada

Is there anything better than Island life in the summer? Gorgeous sunsets over the water, savoury meals featuring season-fresh flavours, and local craft brews chilled on tap. The Dining Room at The Culinary Institute of Canada (CIC) is ready to celebrate summer and have their doors wide open to welcome you after completing their extensive renovations. Having expanded the restaurant right to the water’s edge, guests now have a choice of views. The spectacular panoramic view of the Charlottetown harbourfront fascinates the eye but so does the action in the new open-concept kitchen as the culinary team of CIC grads showcase their talent. As the training ground during the school year for programs (Culinary Arts, Pastry Arts and International Hospitality Management), the refined design and modern technology upgrades have been well tested by students and the dining public alike since their doors officially reopened in November. “We felt it was essential to create a more student interactive training platform that would integrate all the programs within the Culinary Department,” says Chef Austin Clement, Program Manager of The Culinary Institute of Canada and a graduate of the program as well.
“As a chef I’m very interested in sourcing the best local ingredients and really building the menu around them.”
