Il-Menħir Restaurant is the exclusive dining venue on our Gozo campus, named after a prehistoric artefact discovered in the village of Qala, where the campus is located. This training restaurant is expertly managed by ITS lecturers and students.

While dining, guests experience two simultaneous learning sessions: a service lecture in the front of house and a kitchen lecture in the back of house. As part of the restaurant's educational mission, instructors provide valuable feedback to students, helping them develop their knowledge, skills, and service.
