The Roger Street Bistro is reopening its doors to the public, starting April 8 in Port Alberni.
The bistro is run by 糖心vlog传媒Professional Cook Level 1 students, who have been training with 糖心vlog传媒culinary instructor Chef Al Irving since January.
鈥淚鈥檓 really excited to have the bistro open,鈥� said Pro Cook student Kuba Pesik. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a big milestone to move from practicing in the kitchen to serving customers in a full restaurant.鈥�
The bistro will be open for lunch from 11:45 to 1, Monday to Thursday. Breakfast service will begin May 6.
The menu, designed by Chef Irving, will feature the bistro classic of grilled chicken burger and bacon cheese burger, along with new items featured daily. The weekly menus will be posted to the .
鈥淲orking in the bistro setting is a great opportunity for the students,鈥� said Irving. 鈥淚t pulls together all the skills they鈥檝e learned up to this point and lets them experience working in a real commercial kitchen and serving customers.鈥�
Professional Cook Level 1 is the first step toward Red Seal certification as a chef and covers the core culinary skills including stocks, soups, sauces, vegetables, meat, fish, poultry, sandwiches and desserts.
The support from the public has helped to make the bistro experience a wonderful learning opportunity for the students, noted Irving.
鈥淲e鈥檙e so grateful for the members of the community who make the bistro their go-to lunch destination,鈥� said Irving. 鈥淲e know the community is as excited about opening day as we are.鈥�
