With innovative menus that change weekly and use the finest local and international ingredients, the public are invited to immerse themselves in the culinary delights of the northwest, served by students at the fraction of the cost of a usual meal. 

Students of the Culinary Arts and Hotel, Restaurant and Resort Management programmes undertake this activity as part of their learning during term time. They deliver a range of menu options over lunch time. Diners can choose in delighting their taste buds with an expansive three course menu in the Millennium Room Training Restaurant or nibble on a light lunch in Café Porto.

Chef Academy Killybegs provides a working pathway for culinary and hospitality students to get a hands-on understanding of working life in a kitchen and restaurant. “The practical modules in the courses will allow you to gain hands-on experience in all the key hospitality departments and roles. You will experience the pace of working in live service environments, the unique pressure of the kitchens, and the attention to detail needed in the food and beverage operations and rooms division departments,” says Patrick Brennan, lecturer. 

Past graduate, Stacey Meehan is currently based in the Redcastle Oceanfront Hotel and Spa felt the live service aspects of the course really gave her a taste of the real-life world of work, “Although live service in the programme is on a much smaller scale than industry, I felt that it gave me and my classmates the perfect platform for learning, confidence building, and working within a pressurised environment.”

“Education is the passport to the hospitality future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today. Develop a passion for the art and skills in hospitality, if you do, you will never cease to grow,” says Patrick Brennan and this echoes the dedication to innovative and immersive education in the Department of Tourism and Sport at Killybegs. Throughout its history, it has evolved to keep pace with the growing demands of the hospitality and tourism industry. Bringing together food, business, hospitality, culinary science, and technology has enabled the department to develop as a national centre for innovation through experiential learning.
