GippsTAFE’s Waratah Restaurant opens again on Friday March 14 for lunch and dinner; everyone is invited to come along for a dining experience like no other!

The Waratah Restaurant is where GippsTAFE’s Hospitality students develop practical skills, students studying Certificate II in Hospitality (Operations), Certificate II in Hospitality (Commercial Cookery), or Certificate IV Hospitality (Food and Beverage Supervision). The Waratah provides training for VET in Schools (Vocational Education and Training).

Students also compete in various competitions and demonstrations during the year, including the Victorian Les Toques Blanches Awards for Excellence and the International Fine Foods Festival held in Melbourne.

GippsTAFE Hospitality Coordinator, Vince Fede, said that in 2002 GippsTAFE apprentice chefs consistently achieved high results in both Victorian and National Competitions.

The Waratah Restaurant is situated overlooking the lake in the Morwell Civic Gardens. Meals usually range from casual ‘bistro’ style lunches on Thursdays and Fridays to a more formal ‘fine dining’ style dinner on Thursday evenings.
