This week, our dining hall took us on a culinary journey to Canada, where we got to indulge in two iconic Canadian dishes: poutine and pancakes with maple syrup! The dining hall was beautifully decorated with touches of rustic charm, setting the perfect atmosphere for our Canadian-themed meal. We started with poutine, a delicious combination of crispy fries, savory gravy, and cheese curds that melted perfectly in every bite—truly a comfort food classic. For dessert, we savored fluffy pancakes drenched in rich maple syrup, a true Canadian staple that left everyone smiling.

These international dinners are a wonderful way for us to experience different cultures through food and celebrate the diversity within our community. A big thank you to our dining hall team for creating such a warm and welcoming Canadian experience. We can’t wait to see where our next international dinner will take us!

Dear Community of the Collège du Léman,

Every Wednesday, our dining hall takes us on a culinary journey around the world. This week, we explored Morocco, savoring the rich flavors and traditions of North African cuisine. The menu offered a variety of Moroccan dishes, with something for everyone to enjoy. The dining hall was beautifully decorated, featuring lanterns and vibrant fabrics that brought the spirit of Morocco to life.

These dinners are more than just meals—they’re a chance to celebrate diversity and learn about different cultures. Thank you to our dining hall team for creating such an immersive and welcoming experience. We can’t wait to see what’s next on our international adventure!

Dear Community of the Collège du Léman,

Welcome back, everyone! After a long winter break, it’s so great to see everyone back on campus. What better way to reconnect and kick things off than with a delicious first dinner together?

Monday night’s meal was a fantastic way to settle back into the rhythm of campus life. The menu we enjoyed was fish served with a side of rice. We also enjoyed roasted eggplant, which added a smoky and hearty touch to the plate. Tying it all together was a fresh green sauce that made every bite stand out. It was a meal that felt welcoming and comforting, just what we needed to start the semester right.

Best regards,

College du Léman team!

Dear Community of the Collège du Léman,

Today’s Sunday brunch was a bit different since it was the last one before the Christmas break. As usual, the dining hall offered a variety of breakfast and lunch options, from scrambled eggs to pastries, but there was a slightly more festive atmosphere today. It was a nice way to finish off the semester and enjoy a relaxed meal before heading home for the holidays.

It wasn’t just about the food, but also about taking a moment to appreciate the time spent together before everyone leaves. The brunch gave us a chance to catch up and enjoy a meal as a group one last time before the break. We’ll be back for more Sunday brunches in January, but for now, it’s time to enjoy the holiday season.

Best regards,

College du Léman team!

Dear Community of the Collège du Léman,

Last night’s International Dinner took us on a culinary journey to Thailand, where our dining hall was filled with the bold, savory, and aromatic flavors of Thai cuisine. The menu featured three standout dishes: Massaman Chicken, a rich and flavorful curry with tender chicken; Beef Thai Basil, a stir-fry with fresh basil and a spicy kick; and Shrimp with Vegetables in Oyster Sauce, a delicious combination of shrimp and crisp vegetables in a savory sauce. Each dish was a perfect representation of Thailand’s vibrant food culture, and the meal was a hit with students and staff alike.

For dessert, we were treated to a unique and indulgent Coconut Rice Pudding Roll, a sweet, creamy dish that combined the comforting flavors of coconut and rice in a delicate roll. The evening was filled with excitement as everyone explored new flavors, and once again, the International Dinner was a wonderful way to connect with different cultures through food. We can’t wait to see what next week’s dinner will bring!

Best regards,

College du Léman team!

Dear Community of the Collège du Léman,

Yesterday evening, the dining hall at our boarding school took on a distinctly Norwegian vibe as we celebrated another International Dinner. The highlight of the night was the fresh salmon, perfectly cooked to showcase its natural flavors. Alongside the fish, there were hearty, flavorful meatballs—an iconic Norwegian dish—that paired wonderfully with roasted potatoes and an assortment of fresh vegetables. The spread felt both comforting and vibrant, transporting everyone to Norway through its simple yet rich ingredients.

As the savory dishes were cleared away, the sweet finale arrived: cinnamon rolls. These warm, soft treats were a true crowd-pleaser, their rich, spiced aroma filling the room. The cinnamon rolls not only satisfied our taste buds but also brought a touch of sweetness that made the night feel special. Sharing a meal from a different culture brought a sense of unity and celebration to the evening, reminding us of the beauty in experiencing new flavors and traditions together. It was a night filled with laughter, great food, and the joy of international community.

Best regards,

College du Léman team!

Dear Community of the Collège du Léman,

Last night, our dining hall transported us to the vibrant culinary world of Portugal with an international-themed dinner. The menu was a delicious celebration of Portuguese flavors, starting with freshly baked bread infused with smoky chorizo—crispy on the outside and soft within. For the main course, we enjoyed tender roasted chicken paired with golden, seasoned potatoes, a comforting and hearty dish that brought warmth to the chilly evening. The dining hall’s dedication to authenticity and attention to detail made every bite feel like a journey to a Portuguese family table.

To end the meal on a sweet note, we were treated to the iconic pastel de nata, Portugal’s beloved custard tart. These creamy, caramelized delights were the highlight of the evening, leaving everyone with smiles and requests for seconds. The dinner not only satisfied our taste buds but also gave us a chance to connect with Portuguese culture through food. It was a wonderful reminder of how meals can bring people together and offer a window into different traditions.

Best regards,
