Food & Drink.

Re-fuel or enjoy coffee with friends, there is something for everyone! The JKU not only quenches one's thirst for knowledge, the university offers many culinary choices.

In addition to an award-winning university cafeteria that provides JKU students and employees with 2,600 various menus daily, there are numerous cafés and restaurants on the campus. One of them is the JKU TeichWerk: A building anchored at the edge of the university pond. The TeichWerk is not only a bar and café, but also serves as an event venue for concerts, theater performances, festivals, etc.

Please note that hours are subject to change during lecture-free periods and on public holidays!

Sustainability on Campus

Mensa, Ch@t, and the Science Café offer organic meat and locally sourced ingredients.

The JKU Mensa serves up to 1,500 meals daily. This makes the Mensa the largest culinary establishment on campus. And they take their responsibility seriously: Meat served at the Mensa comes from organic farms and the majority of other ingredients and food products are locally sourced. Click here to learn more about why this is important, what are the reasons behind the change, and other important information about the Mensa. By the way, the Ch@t-Cafè and the Science-Cafè have also changed their menus. In this regard, the only thing left to say is: Bon Appétit!

The Obelisk

It's all about the sausage! The new "Obelisk" opened it's doors in September 2020. What is it, you ask? A new, contemporary sausage stand for a new generation - and it could also be considered more of a sociotope. Designed to be a culinary home for everyone from meat-eaters to vegetarians, it's a snack bar that offers more than just original architecture. After all, we eat with our eyes.
And since the early bird is known to catch the worm - as well as the Blunznbosna - "The Obelisk" opens at 7:00 AM. The menu features a variety of Austrian fare such as the Käsekrainer, Leberkäse and Bosna, as well as Hermann's meatless sausages, salads, and farm-fresh yogurt. Chef Jürgen Lonsing has also unveiled a special dish: a sandwich containing special ham and arugula lettuce. Or would rather have a Pusztalaibchen?

Catholic University Community Cafeteria (KHG Mensa)

Choose from two daily menus served at the KHG Mensa: soup, a main vegetarian or meat dish and - depending on the meal you order - with or without a salad. Are you starving? Or just want a bite?  In addition to a normal-sized portion, you can order a small portion, if you prefer.  You can switch out the soup, salad or bread accompaniments and buy something for dessert. In the summer we offer larger salads to enjoy as a main meal.
