Scholars’ Restaurant and On the Terrace Café is CLOSED until further notice in the wake of the damage caused to the Hawke’s Bay Campus by Cyclone Gabrielle.
We hope to be able to open again in the near future!

Scholars’ Training Restaurant offers Hawke’s Bay diners a unique restaurant experience. It allows you to not only enjoy memorable and delicious dining but also to participate in the training of our future chefs and front of house staff.
The School of Hospitality staff and students look forward to welcoming you to Scholars’ Restaurant.
