University restaurants and cafes in France offer affordable, balanced three-course meals for students. A government decision extends 1 meals beyond scholarship recipients to all students after surveys found many were skipping meals due to cost. At Universite Paris Dauphine, students choose from multiple counters offering starters, vegetarian, meat, or fish mains with potato and vegetable sides, plus fruit and options such as yogurt, cheese, or pastry. Term days include salad bars and pizza choices. Most dishes are produced in-house using locally sourced products, many organic. Students rate the menus highly, and the meals can be eaten on-site or taken away.
"For 1 (86p) they can choose from a selection of starters, a vegetarian, meat or fish main course with potato and vegetable sides and fruit, yoghurt, cheese or a pastry to follow. On most term days they can also serve themselves from a salad bar or pick a pizza or both. Extra dishes are 55c; coffee 60c. It is canteen food and unlikely to win any Michelin stars, but the dishes are varied, tasty and copious."
"Farid Rouba, the chef who oversees the Dauphine university kitchen, said most dishes were produced in-house and made up of a healthy balance of locally sourced products, many of which are organic. Students have given his menus the thumbs up, he said. They gave us 9/10 in a recent questionnaire. Our clients are the students and we listen to them when drawing up the menus. We are feeding people who are the future of France and it's important they eat well."
"Diane Chelkoff, the director of the Dauphine restaurant, said: The students can have two balanced 1 meals a day from here, either eating here or take-away. It helps those students that are not receiving financial aid but find it difficult to make ends meet. Most of the dishes are put together by us here so we know what goes in them. The chef works hard"
