We’re moving!
The Highwood Kitchen + Bar will be temporarily moving to the 3rd floor of the John Ware Building to allow for renovations, which will take place from July 2025 to Spring 2026.
Starting July 15, 2025, the Highwood will be accessible through the north, west, and south entrances of the John Ware building. Once inside, please refer to signage directing you to the third floor.
Be sure to join us for our Highwood lounge service in Hospitality House, located on the main level of the John Ware building, for wine, cocktails, and small plates. Lounge service is available Tuesday to Friday from 4:30 pm – 7pm.
Welcome to The Highwood by SAIT
We believe there is no better way to learn than to do, and our School of Hospitality and Tourism takes that mantra to heart. The Highwood Kitchen + Bar was created more than 45 years ago to provide our students with a truly immersive and real-world learning experience and continues to do so to this day. What better way to prepare them for the industry!
This restaurant, our very first live classroom, is an extraordinary intersection of students and programs that come together to deliver an incredible dining experience for you. Many of our Hospitality and Tourism Management students develop their guest service and beverage skills in the Highwood. Our culinary students, from cooking to baking to butchery, showcase and develop their skills as they prepare every part of your meal. Still, other students may use the Highwood to learn about events, or as a case study for their courses to understand operations, marketing and business.
None of this would be possible without you - our guest. You are helping bring excellence in hospitality and culinary education to life!
