Contemporary dining meets Old World charm just off the corner of 42nd and Walnut Streets in University City, Philadelphia. A sensuous experience of culinary and hospitality delight awaits the public in the romantic European village square of The Restaurant School at Walnut Hill College. The purpose of having four restaurants is to give students multiple opportunities to experience the strata of the growing restaurant industry. Naturally, students benefit from preparing the different cuisines. But, equally important is the experience that students have in responding to the varied ambiance and environments.

Guests can choose to dine at the elegant Great Chefs of Philadelphia Restaurant, whose menu is developed by some of Philadelphia's most notable chefs. The European Courtyard is a theatrical public square with beautiful storefronts, cobblestone paths, and terrace dining. The Italian Trattoria features casual dining with regional Italian pasta specialties. The American Heartland is an American treasure serving a contemporary approach to traditional American fare.
