Located at NC’s Daniel J. Patterson Campus in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Benchmark’s reputation extends far beyond campus boundaries, as an award-winning Niagara dining establishment popular with the public. Its regular restaurant operations were paused in December 2019. Since 2022, it has been devoted to academic initiatives from the College’s Culinary, Tourism and Beverage Studies division – including culinary pop-ups, final exam lunches and dinners, and more.
Academic offerings from the School of Culinary Arts will continue at Benchmark, as part of the Culinary, Tourism and Beverage Studies division.
With Benchmark reopening for lunch service, NC students from culinary and hospitality programs will be employed to work back- and front-of-house, respectively.
Region: Niagara-on-the-Lake
