Then, call (902) 679-7377 and make a reservation.

Reservations are required because it does fill up quickly, and they like to spread out the eating times to accommodate everyone!

You will be served by the hospitality students and the food will be prepared by the culinary students. So, by eating out, you really are helping the students, besides being treated to a fabulous gourmet meal!

Where do I go?

When you arrive at the Kingstec campus, you will have to sign in at the main security desk. You can always ask there, but just head down the hallway and veer to the left. Follow your nose! The dining room is at the end of the hall.

How to find Kingstec Campus

Sometimes when we have eaten at Kingstec there has been a buffet. This is something you can find out about when you join the email list or follow NOSH on Facebook.
