Catering services

University restaurants give you the possibility to eat a balanced meal at a reasonable price. You can choose 3 extras alongside your main dish, such as a starter, cheese, a dairy product or fruit. The queue can be long during peak hours (12am to 1pm). You should have at least 1 free hour to eat in university restaurants.

If you are in a hurry, you can always go to the cafeteria. Alongside sandwiches, you will find croque monsieurs, salads, croissants, yoghurts, fruit and more. Cafeterias are open throughout the day.

University restaurants are run by the CROUS. 

All students can have lunch for € 1. The € 1 meal includes one main course and two side items (one starter and one dessert). To benefit from this price, you must use your Izly account as your payment method, either via your student card or the app installed on your phone. More information

Cafeterias on the other hand can be run by the CROUS or third-party companies, which explains the difference in price between them. In general, prices on campus are lower than those outside. For instance, on average a coffee costs €0.70.

Restaurants accept contact-free payment (student card which can be topped-up from your IZLY account, IZLY QR code, credit card) as well as cash.
