Learn About Savor

Located on the Texas campus of the Culinary Institute of America, and nestled in the Pearl, Savor restaurant showcases the extraordinary talents of our CIA student-chefs as a culmination of two years of rigorous study.

For seven weeks, the students gain hands-on experience working in Savor’s professional kitchen, followed by seven additional weeks serving in the dining room, where they learn both contemporary and formal service techniques. This way, CIA students receive professional restaurant experience while providing a seamless dining experience for our guests.

Our

Art Program

Chefs and artists recognize the close link between visual and culinary arts. At Savor, guests and students can experience this connection themselves through our art displays. Various paintings by Austin-based artist Kelti Smith can be seen throughout the restaurant. A number of remarkable pieces on loan from the Chuck Williams Culinary Arts Museum at CIA at Copia are on display throughout the restaurant. Chuck Williams, founder of Williams-Sonoma and cookbook author, donated the vintage cooking tools—which he collected during many years of travels, to CIA.
