Untere Mensa

Looking for a campus spot that’s fast, varied, and actually tasty? Untere Mensa delivers. Build your own plate at the large salad bar, or go for the hot buffet with meat and sides for CHF 2.2.– per 100g, on top of three rotating menus every day. You’ll always find vegan and vegetarian options, and gluten-free choices are available most days—so eating well never means compromising.

The vibe is bright and modern with big windows, long communal tables, and plenty of seating inside and outside—perfect for a quick bite between lectures, a relaxed lunch with friends, or a coffee break. Portions are generous, prices are student-friendly, and service is quick without the “canteen” feel.

Come for the convenience, stay for the choice: crisp salads, hearty bowls, pasta, Swiss classics, and lighter plates when you want them. If you need a place that keeps everyone happy—and won’t drain your budget—Untere Mensa is an easy yes.

Insider Tip: At lunch you better arrive before 12, else the line can get pretty long especially at the begining of the semester.
