A culinary school plans to open a restaurant in Richmond.

Culinard, the Culinary Institute of Virginia College, plans to open Kitchen on Cary on May 20.

The restaurant will be located at 1329 E. Cary St. in the city’s Shockoe Slip area.

The school said Kitchen on Cary will have a professional staff while providing training to students.

Virginia College has spent about $650,000 on construction and renovation of the Cary Street space, formerly occupied by Dora’s Brazilian Grill.

Kitchen on Cary will be modeled after the Culinard restaurant in Mobile, Ala., Kitchen on George.

Virginia College, a private, for–profit school, is owned by Birmingham, Ala.-based Education Corporation of America. It has a location on Midlothian Turnpike.
The school has locations in 25 cities in 11 states.
