Visitor Testimonials (388)

Good, reasonably priced food for students and staffs alike. The canteen offers a variety of appetizers — salads of various kinds and sometimes pates/charcuteries. The main dishes are quite varied, with some vegetarian offerings as well. They also have some desserts, cheeses, yoghurt, and even fruits.

Cheap price, tasty food and well behaved stuff.. sums it up. But non French speakers would be in trouble to communicate, just like me.

The food is astoundingly low priced for the quality of food. It is also possible to eat for free and the subsidy of €3.00 is really an attempt to make it cheaper.
