Bocuse Restaurant

The CIA’s new Bocuse restaurant is the Institute’s most hard-to-book table. Staffed entirely by students, the restaurant features a menu inspired by traditional French cuisine that’s reinterpreted by the contemporary techniques taught at this, the country’s most famous coking school. The dining room is light and sleek, with elegant leather chairs and such high-tech touches as an iPad wine list. Reservations for weekend dinners should be made well in advance, though you can also check the day of for cancellations. Bocuse is also open for lunch.
