The Food
Scene and hanging out in Konstanz
The university
is situated on a hill away from the town center. There are therefore no
restaurants located at a convenient distance. The Mensa
and Cafeteria run by the Studentenwerk
provide warm food, salats, snacks, and beverages at a reasonable price.
The Cafe Arche, which is located in the university
building itself, is open Monday to Friday from 11.30 to 23.00. Gastronomes
can find information about the food scene in Konstanz (sorry, only in German)
here.
