Lemon Tree
The Lemon Tree provides real world, science-based experiences to students in the Quantity Food Production class, a capstone course for Dietetics and Hospitality Management & Tourism undergraduate students.
The Lemon Tree is more than just a restaurant; it’s a living classroom where students gain invaluable hands-on experience. Throughout the semester, students rotate through various workstations and management positions, immersing themselves in the various roles necessary to operate a successful restaurant. From food preparation to service, our students learn it all, providing a high-quality dining experience for our guests while upholding food safety and quality assurance standards.
