Seeing is Believing

We offer tours led by CIA students. Hear from them firsthand about the career opportunities that await you. And of course, if you’re going to visit CIA’s Texas campus, you need to grab a bite at one (or more) of our student-staffed restaurants—Nao and the CIA Bakery Café.

Dining at the CIA Texas

Nao at the CIA San Antonio plays a role in our students’ educational experience. Reservations are suggested.

It’s all about fire and heat at the CIA’s restaurant at the Pearl Brewery. At dinner, the open kitchen makes it easy for diners to experience the drama created by cooking with live fire. The contemporary menu offers creatively re-imagined dishes and a highly curated beverage program. This world-class restaurant is operated by students about to graduate from the CIA’s degree program. They work under the supervision of highly experienced chef-instructors and maître d’instructors.
