Student-Run Restaurants
Ventana
Bleu River Grille
Texas Culinary Academy features two on-campus, open-to-the-public restaurants. Ventana, a fine dining restaurant, and Bleu River Grille are run by our students who prepare and serve the meals. While patrons enjoy a delicious 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 restaurants provides an authentic taste of the future you aspire to.
For Our Restaurant Patrons
We're very proud of our restaurants 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.
