Welcome
California School of Culinary Arts opened teaching restaurant 561 to the public in February 2000, giving patrons a unique opportunity to dine within the classroom and experience firsthand the passion and creativity of tomorrow's culinary talent as students take the final step in their Le Cordon Bleu education.
The restaurant, known as "561," the address of the restaurant on Green Street in Pasadena, is staffed by CSCA students completing a prerequisite to obtaining a degree in culinary arts or hospitality and restaurant management. The students work directly under the supervision of CSCA instructors overseeing both food preparation and service.
The restaurant serves inventive and exceptional California cuisine with an ever-changing menu, which focuses on seasonal offerings and reflects the school's ongoing innovations in cooking - emphasizing classical French techniques, healthy cooking, creativity and environmental sustainability.
We ask that there is no tipping, please. CSCA has added a mandatory service charge of 15% which benefits the non-profit Career Education Scholarship Fund, which provides scholarships to deserving students. Thank you for your contribution.
