Hungry? Here's where to grab a bite on U of T's three campuses

With the return of in-person classes at the University of Toronto, students may be wondering where to go to appease a rumbling stomach now that they can no longer raid their fridge during an online or recorded lecture. 

Fortunately, U of T students on all three campuses have many choices. At restaurants, cafés and dining halls across the three campuses, they can take their pick from ramen and stir fries to burritos and burgers.

On the St. George campus, the U of T Food Services site lists where to eat and what’s on the menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner at six cafeterias and dining halls. They can also use U of T’s mapping tool to find options close to them. U of T Mississauga and U of T Scarborough also list their food services.

For those in a rush, St. George and U of T Scarborough students can use the U of T Mobile Order App to order meals to grab-and-go. A mobile food ordering system is also on its way for U of T Mississauga students.

For those who chose to eat-in, a green screen in UCheck is required and physical distancing measures are in place. 

Here’s a round-up of some popular eateries on all three campuses, as well as their hours (which may be subject to change):
