After orientation, every first year student will know Café de Fuik, Tweekeerbellen and the El Sombrero. But Nijmegen has more to offer you. So: where does every student have to go at least once? Today: where to go for dinner.

#1 St. Anneke For a mega carpaccio, you are at the right address at St. Anneke. The busy café on the Sint Annastraat has a lovely terrace and simple but tasty food. Don’t forget your student ID, and you can have some of the main dishes for only €8.50. And on Tuesdays and Thursdays after 9 pm, beer is only €1.80!

#2 Café Eten en Drinken What’s in a name? At Café Eten en Drinken, you can eat and drink. No need for special student prices, because everything is cheap. The most expensive dish is only €11.50. Our advice: Do it!

#3 Credible Don’t be discouraged by the hip appearance of Credible. The food is not expensive at all, and the lounge sofas are extremely comfortable. And if you cannot stand on your feet anymore, you can always spend the night, since Credible also happens to be a hotel.

#4 Café de Plak Cheese mince from Café de Plak! Need we say more? This café restaurant has been a concept in Nijmegen for years, and it has become part of local history and education. In addition to affordable food and a well-filled plate, you can also always count on the restaurant being full. You cannot reserve, but neither will you have to wait long!

#5 De Waagh This seventeenth-century building doesn’t really look like a student café. And yet, De Waagh offers really cheap food! Try the Waaghhap, a weekly menu (not on Saturdays). For only € 9.95 you get a starter and a main course. The deluxe version, with desert, costs €12.95.
