At the Runway, a Culinary Journey restaurant students develop a diverse skill set, from the art of food presentation to the creation of drinks right before your eyes.

During your meal, two distinct educational sessions unfold: a service lecture in the front of house and a kitchen lecture in the back of house.

Our menu changes periodically and features a carefully curated three-course meal, including a starter, main course, and dessert, accompanied by a selection of freshly baked in-house bread.

As a training restaurant, and with lectures taking place during service, instructors may offer guidance and corrections to enhance students’ knowledge, skills, and service.
