Environmental health officers from Telford & Wrekin Council paid a visit to The Orange Tree at the college's Wellington campus.
The council's public protection department said The Orange Tree team "achieved the highest possible food hygiene rating" following the unannounced inspection.
Boasting two professional kitchens, The Orange Tree provides students with a chance to put their catering skills to the test in a realistic working environment, similar to a large restaurant or hotel.
The restaurant can seat up to 50 people, and served up Christmas lunches to the local community in the run-up to Christmas.
More public opening dates are also due to be announced soon.
The Food Hygiene Rating Scheme is designed to help people choose where to eat out or shop for food by giving information about the hygiene standards in restaurants, pubs, cafes, takeaways, and hotels.
The scheme is run by the council in partnership with the Food Standards Agency.
Telford College’s director of vocational studies Andy Turner said: “We’re delighted to have received the highest possible food hygiene rating, which is recognition of the hard work and high standards of the team.”
