Essen

Student Services Freiburg oversees over 23 canteens and cafeterias in Freiburg and the surrounding areas. Each day 12 thousand meals are prepared during the semester. In the canteens a choice from fast food to a full menu is available catering to everyone’s budget and taste. Larger canteens also offer freshly made pasta and wok dishes. Special dietary needs are also looked after with vegan meals properly labelled. At the Mensabistro (canteen) a certified organic meal is offered daily.

Don’t forget: Children under 10 years old receive a child’s plate completely free with an adult meal. There is also a reserved area where families can eat, relax and play games with their children.

Students with dietary needs due to health reasons can also obtain further concessions from Employment Services (Agentur fur Arbeit). Students with food allergies should contact canteen employees directly with ingredients inquiries.

Through the following link you will find menus for the different canteens.

Quality control

Regular TÜV-Tests and implementation of health laws ensure a high quality food standard including ingredients and preparation. Independent regulators and certifiers regularly control our gastronomic facilities. Since 2011, we have sourced exclusively MSC certified fish and eggs from alternative farming and have been awarded ‘The Goldenen Ei’. Student Services Freiburg co-operates with Student Services Südwest in a purchasing co-operative. Eight Student Services in Baden-Württemberg as well as Kaiserlautern, Trier and Saarland are involved in the co-operation. The co-operation’s purchasing power is very influential and maintains development and implementation of our quality standards. Our common goal is sustainability and is reached through our influential co-operation. Only organic fair trade coffee is served in the co-operation’s cafeterias. Other products are also regulated for example; ketchup, mayonnaise and mustard do not contain artificial sweeteners or preservatives.  We source chiefly local produce
