Support our students in action
If you love great Tasmanian food, wine and service at an affordable price, it’s time you make a date with one of our Drysdale restaurants. Sit back and enjoy a delicious dining experience as our hospitality students and apprentice chefs prepare and serve a range of high-quality food and beverages.
Located at each of the Hobart, Launceston and Devonport campuses, the Drysdale Centre of Excellence restaurants are the training ground for Tasmania’s future chefs and hospitality staff.
As a patron, you’ll be an important part of the learning experience as the next generation of Tasmania’s qualified service personnel gain hands-on training under the supervision of our professional teaching staff. It’s a unique way to experience Tasmania’s booming hospitality and tourism industries and support to our up-and-coming hospitality professionals and regional producers.
As a student, you’ll get invaluable experience working on the floor or in a commercial kitchen. You’ll get the chance to think on your feet and communicate with your team, as well as gain the hands-on skills you need to provide a high-quality experience for your patrons.
