The Apprentice Restaurant is a licenced training restaurant that offers trainee chefs and front of house staff the opportunity to practice their skills in a real-life restaurant. We appreciate your patience as our students develop their skills. The prices reflect that whilst we endeavour to make your experience the best possible, there may occasionally be delays, and we thank you for this understanding.
We are open to the public during term time (bookings essential), and upon request for group bookings.
Traditionally we run an a la carte menu, the menu changes depending on which cookery programme is in service. Because this is a training restaurant, guests are required to arrive on time.
Quick Lunch - Entrée, Main and Dessert, seated at 1pm, no choices, $25 per person. Just sit down and be served.
Please be seated by 6pm for all dinner services.
Degustation - 7 courses of a similar size, $45 per person, dishes created by our Level 5 cookery students.
A La Carte ($40) - Choose from the menu created by the students, $40 per person.
Choose either Degustation or A La Carte
Licenced Bar Available. We accept EFTPOS, cash or credit card. Reservations are essential, you can book via email restaurant@northtec.ac.nz or phone 470 3750.
