The Practice Restaurant offers such a calm and peaceful atmosphere that for an hour it will take you away from the relentless and hectic pace of daily life. The moment you enter the restaurant with its friendly and elegant atmosphere you can feel the difference.
The students of Tourism and Hotel Services, and Tourism and Hotel Management, who are taking the "International Cuisine" course, prepare and serve the meals under the supervision of their instructors, Henk Kuchlein and Vildan Godl. "The aim of this course is to instruct students in the methodology of food preparation. The students enjoy the hands-on, practical approach; some of them have never cooked before in their lives," stated Mr. Kuchlein, who has been teaching at Bilkent for three years, and is known as 'the chef' by the students.

The menu offers you starters, main courses and desserts from international cuisine. For example, you can sample Asian cuisine such as Chinese and Indonesian, or European cuisine such as Italian and French. Also mark it down in your calender: the last menu of the restaurant this year will be the Traditional North American Christmas Dinner.

The restaurant is located on East Campus in the STHM building. It is open Monday to Friday from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. The staff is looking forward to serving Bilkent staff, students, and their guests. Call ext. 5001 to make a reservation.
