With the CROUS
For every taste...
The CROUS of Lyon runs the university restaurant system through a network of "Resto'U", approved restaurants and cafeterias that you will find at most of the places of higher education and near the university residence halls. At the Resto'U, different menus are offered every day.
- Traditional French meal: this features a main dish, two sides (a starter, cheese or dessert) and a bread roll, paid with the "ticket-repas" (meal ticket).
- Food from the grill: steak, chips etc., for which you pay cash.
-Meals at the cafeteria-grill: chips, meat, salads, pastries, pizza, sandwiches, cold cuts, hot dishes, cheese, dessert, fruit etc., which you pay for either with a meal ticket or the equivalent in cash. You can get a menu (main dish, yoghurt and dessert) in certain cafeterias. The university restaurants are openevery day, except Sundays and official holidays (seemonthly schedule for business hours).
Traditional meals are paid for with a ticket: 2.70 € in 2005-2006 (subsidised student rate). The other types of meals are paid for with cash. A "meal for a ticket" option is available in every CROUS restaurant.
In the cafeterias
at the institutions of higher education, there are cafeterias, some of which are run by the CROUS. They offer sandwiches, pizza, quiches and sometimes salads. They are often open all day long, unlike the traditional restaurants.
