In Ghent there is a wide range of student restaurants. They are all situated in the vicinity of the various faculties and departments. The service they offer is based on the three mainstays of “quality, variety and low prices”. The prices are the lowest in the city: a cold lunch costs about 2.50 EUR, hot meals usually between 2.65 and 4.00 EUR, snacks and sandwiches approximately 1.65 EUR. Keep your student card ready: it gets you into these restaurants.
Most student restaurants offer vegetarian food. Remember Thursday is Veggieday and enjoy a healthy and environmently friendly dish without meat or fish on Thursday.
Important notice: students from University College Arteveldehogeschool and University College Ghent (Ghent University Association) will have to pay a little more in the Ghent University student restaurants than university students, but the price is still very reasonable.
All students in Ghent can buy meals at the same low prices at the student restaurant of University College Arteveldehogeschool.
