During my stay in Zurich, I visited the Mensa every day and was never disappointed. Delicious and nutritious meals, friendly staff, and great prices for visitors compared to other places in the city. Buzzing energy at lunchtime and a calm, contemplative atmosphere in the evenings. Highly recommended!

Gutes Essen, für den auf Hochbetrieb eingestellten Essenssaal mit dem lauten Ambiente einfach sehr teuer.

The mensa of the famous ETH is a great place to grab a quick bite, enjoy the gorgeous view Zürich, get something from the university gift shop, chill out with a coffee and people watch. It was a highlight of my trip.
