Tollbua is proud to support the young kitchen professionals of the future. We are lucky to have five apprentices working fulltime in the kitchen, learning their trade and contributing towards our gastronomy. Apprenticeships are a key component philosophy towards a sustainable industry and a fulfilling workplace. You can read more about that commitment here!
On February 10th all five apprentices will have the chance to demonstrate their prowess in the kitchen and serve our guests their signature food. We will be hosting a five course dinner, with one course from each apprentice, all created and cooked in Tollbua’s kitchen.
Diners can enjoy a refined early evening experience in the comfortable setting of Tollbua restaurant, and support the young chefs in their aspirations.
Tickets are now on sale.
Five courses made with great local ingredients, for just 625,-.
Water and coffee are included, and extra drinks can be purchased on the night.
Three of our current apprentices will also be competing in ASKO Servering Norgescup competition in Stavanger, having won their regional heats in Trondheim last year. They are hard at work now preparing, under the tutelage of Tollbua Chef patron, Christopher Davidsen.

Moren min er fra Filippinene, og faren min er fra Norge. Jeg har bodd her mesteparten av livet. Jeg gikk på Strinda videregående skole. Jeg trives på Tollbua og er veldig interessert i mat med asiatiske innslag. Jeg vil ha det gøy! Jeg liker hvordan denne jobben gir meg muligheten til å reise rundt i verden og jobbe med ulike kulturer.
