The future of food starts here

Creating culinary experiences

The Culinary Institute of the Pacific is all about the future of food.

We are an incubator for emerging leaders in culinary excellence, and an evolving laboratory for new ideas in sustainable cuisine. We're a stage for exhibiting and interacting with trends and concepts, and we’re a dining experience for discerning, adventurous, curious epicures wherever they reside on the foodie scale.
 
We are building a culinary innovation center.

Led by masters in the art and science of food research, students explore new ideas for exciting, sustainable, locally sourced nourishment.

We are building an interactive tasting studio.

Our theater-style demonstration kitchen—a venue for public tastings and explorations aligned with curricular themes—allows students, instructors, and visiting professionals to broadcast to the world that experts are found here, at the Culinary Institute of the Pacific on the slopes of Diamond Head.

We are building a world-class dining experience.

It’s not a restaurant—it’s an exhibition kitchen dining and discovery destination with thematic menus aligning with curricular explorations. Periodic rotations explore cultural concepts of Hawai‘i and Pacific cuisine, culinary history and special techniques.
