Real-World Culinary Learning Environment
Delicious Dining at The Marhles Restaurant
The Marlhes Restaurant is one of Assumption College’s most unique and treasured features—a professional learning environment where our VET Hospitality students gain hands-on experience in every aspect of the restaurant business.
Students gain hands-on learning in a fully equipped commercial kitchen, barista station, and elegant fine dining area, mastering skills from menu planning and food preparation to full table service. At Marlhes, our chefs-in-training experience the reality of running a restaurant, including serving the public.
Named after the hometown of Saint Marcellin Champagnat, Marlhes Restaurant is a place where students, staff, and the local community come together to enjoy exceptional dining while supporting the education of the next generation of chefs.
