CIU School of Tourism and Hotel Management Director Prof. Dr. Orhan Uludağ pointed out the importance of the Demo Taste Restaurant, which was created and put into service within the premises of the university and stated that their aim is to showcase the quality education they receive by processing the products in the kitchen according to their curriculum, under the close supervision of their teachers.

Prof. Dr. Uludağ said that while adhering to the main theme of the restaurant, tasting the products prepared the students within the scope of their practical lessons is the primary goal of the Department of Gastronomy and Culinary Arts and added, “The products prepared using international methods in the Demo Taste kitchen are served with sauces, as well as complementary by-products that may vary depending on the food.”

Uludağ noted that the products will be served between 12:30pm and 1:30pm everyday of the week except Tuesdays; and thus, students will not only prepare the product but also gain hands on experience by applying what they have learned while serving the dishes.
