Shannon College training restaurant opened its door as L’Embouchure Restaurant on Monday, February 15th, offering guests a “taste of Burgundy by the Estuary”. L’Embouchure was developed by a team of Year 3 students who planned and brought to reality the French themed restaurant experience.

 The project involved creating a restaurant concept, planning and budgeting the restaurant opening, marketing and advertising, menu creation, food ordering, preparation and presentation, wine selection and service and providing an overall dining experience to the public that matches the standards found in the industry’s top restaurants.
