The Envision Bistro at NICHE

The Envision Bistro is grounded in the mission and founding principles of NICHE. Our mission is to celebrate and enhance our culinary landscape. Wichita and Kansas have unique authentic traditions that can’t be found elsewhere. The culinary traditions brought by groups such as Volga Germans, Mennonites, Lebanese and Vietnamese, and how these cuisines adapted to common ingredients of Kansas, have created something special here that is worth celebrating. Through our founding principles of sustainabilityaccessibility and innovation, we incorporate local and seasonal ingredients founded in our local traditions to imagine new creative dishes.

The Envision Bistro at NICHE is open for lunch service from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Because of this unique student-operated concept, The Bistro at NICHE will follow the WSU Tech operating hours and will be closed for major holidays, Spring Break and other college closure days.

Student work experience: Throughout their two-year associate's program, NICHE students receive more than 1,000 hours of culinary lab instruction (actual time in the kitchen). But in addition to this, all students have the opportunity to work in the Bistro, Food Hall, events and catering. The pressures and timing of a bustling kitchen or large-scale banquet are impossible to duplicate in a lab environment, which is why NICHE considers this real-world experience to be essential in preparing them for the workforce.
