Culinary Institute of Canada

The Culinary Institute of Canada, located at Holland College's Tourism and Culinary Centre, has provided culinary and hotel and restaurant management training since 1983, and is regarded by many as the premiere culinary school in Canada. Students are drawn from around the world to the institute, where they have the opportunity to enjoy the unique cultural experience of Prince Edward Island and Atlantic Canada while at the same time developing the necessary skills to launch a successful career in the food and hospitality industry.

Culinary Arts, Pastry Arts, Applied Degree in Culinary Operations, and International Hospitality Management students train at The Culinary Institute of Canada.

Under the guidance of world class chef instructors and learning managers, students learn to prepare and serve meals of the highest quality in the kitchens of the Lucy Maud Dining Room, an exclusive operational restaurant which seats 80 people, and in the Montgomery Cafeteria, which offers banquet facilities for up to 400 people.


Dining Room

Come for the food, enjoy the view, savour the experience.

Just read the reviews on Trip Advisor and you’ll see what we mean when we say our students are trained to the highest of standards. Guests praise the restaurant—from the service, to the fine dining, to the view—with five-star reviews. Back in the kitchens, our students are getting hands-on experience in what it takes to deliver an extraordinary culinary experience.
