Studentenwerk (Student services) offers a variety of food and beverages in the canteens and cafeterias or bistros and in the restaurant. The service conforms to the needs of our guests.
Whereas the conventional canteen focuses on providing lunchtime food and beverages, the cafeterias offer a wide assortment of sweet and savoury snacks, light meals and a good choice of warm and refreshing drinks. The so-called “mensateria” are the latest trend, a mix between conventional canteen and cafeteria.
Campus gastronomy is an important element of university life not only because it offers tasty food at a low price. It’s also a social meeting place for students. Whether during the lunch break or for a coffee between courses, you can eat and drink here, meet people, exchange news and much more.
Good food in pleasant company tempts around 12,000 guests a day into Studentenwerk’s food and beverage outlets.
A wide variety of food and beverages is available to the students, university staff and guests in Düsseldorf, Krefeld and Mönchengladbach.
The canteens offer a wide range: vegetarian food, meat dishes, fresh salads, warm snacks and international promotion weeks are all regularly on offer. Vitamin-packed fruit, vegetables and salads enrich the menu just like the fresh dairy products in the form of desserts and mueslis. In the canteen on the campus of Heinrich-Heine University Düsseldorf there are eight dishes in addition to the standard ones (meal I, meal II, vegetarian and the vegetarian stew). A quick glance at the menu allows you to choose between pan meals, wok dishes and grills, pizza and pasta stations, as well as a colourful salad bar and various desserts. The free-flow system allows the guests to move freely between the different stations.
Quality, freshness and variety have the highest priority for us.
Exclusive and stylish but not too upmarket. Quality and freshness without being expensive; pure experience – that’s the campus vita concept. We cook in front of our guests: pasta, pizza, grilled food are prepared in front of your eyes. You can choose the ingredients yourself. It only takes around three minutes from choosing the pasta to serving the finished dish. The Italian experience is rounded off by our wide range of drinks, antipasti and dolci. All dishes are based on freshness and quality; excellent ingredients make the meals a delight
The fresh food is not the only reason campus vita is so popular. Thanks to the innovative and convenient payment system with a smartcard the guest is able to make individual choices from the different areas of the restaurant / bar, paying only when leaving.
The ambiance is also important. Guests immediately feel at ease in campus vita; the Mediterranean wood and metal fittings and atmospheric light exude warmth; comfortable seating invites you to relax.
Campus vita is also open after lectures from 11.30am-8.30pm, offering its diverse Italian cuisine.
The snacks and drinks available in the cafeterias and buffets complete the core offer of main meals offered by the canteens.
If you feel hungry between meals, Studentenwerk offers a wide range of tasty croissants, filled rolls and baguettes with ham, salami, turkey breast, salmon or various cheeses as well as other snacks.
This is complemented by a large assortment of tasty warm dishes (sandwiches, bagels, quiches, bakes and gratins, lasagna, pizzas, stews, vegetarian snacks etc.) at attractive prices.
And the fragrance of oven-fresh baked goods, delicious cakes and pastries invites you to linger.
The range of products in EX LIBRIS differs from those of the other cafeterias on campus; on our menu we have amongst other things various breakfasts, wraps with salmon or mozzarella and filled snacks. The culinary experience is rounded off by a wide range of speciality coffees and teas, prosecco and champagne.
