Student-Run Restaurants
Châtaigne
Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Chicago features an on-campus, open-to-the-public restaurant, Châtaigne, that is run by our students, who prepare and serve the meals. While patrons enjoy a delicious fine dining experience, as a student you'll have the opportunity to apply your culinary training and gain relevant experience in an active restaurant environment. It's an extraordinary opportunity to spend time at each of the various kitchen stations: hot, cold, pastry, prep, etc., and acquire experience in both front- and back-of-the-house functions. In addition, you'll be exposed to the finer points of restaurant marketing and management. Working in our campus restaurant provides an authentic taste of the future you aspire to.
For Our Restaurant Patrons
We're very proud of our restaurant and the professionalism of our student chefs and servers. Many customers return again and again to enjoy our exemplary service and delicious meals. All aspects of food service and preparation are executed by our students under the supervision of our instructors.
Reservations are recommended. Châtaigne is occasionally closed for large parties or school breaks. A reservation will confirm that we are open and have availability.
After you dine at Châtaigne, we would welcome and appreciate your feedback to help us further educate our students.
