Evolve Bistro

Since we opened our doors in 2001, this has been a student operated restaurant located inside of the Illinois Institute of Art – Chicago and was originally known as Backstage Bistro. It is the capstone course for our culinary students. Evolve Bistro, with the help of AI’s talented instructors, introduces the students to operating a full service dining establishment. During the eleven week program, students rotate through various positions in both front and back of the house. Evolve Bistro has taken a more contemporary approach to menu and service style. Throughout each quarter we are pleased to introduce you to foods and flavors from around the globe with a small plate concept. You can choose either of our listed menu items A la Carte OR choose any three for one price. The students and instructors of Evolve Bistro are dedicated to making this the best dining experience possible. We hope to see you soon!
