Students Restaurants aka Crous Restaurants:

This is of course the cheapest and the healthiest way to have a meal.
For only 3.25€ * you'll have: The first Course + Course + Dessert

To let you know you to go this this is the list of all Crous Restaurant in Paris

This is the normal timetable of crous restaurant from September to June. To be sure that it's really open always check Crous Paris' website and chose your restaurant!

Students Cafeteria and Snacks Bar:

Not as good as the real restaurant and also not as healthy as the preview's one, the cafeterias as the advantage to be open during longer opening hour. So if you cannot go to a restaurant, cafeterias will provide you cheaper food than fast food. Here is the list of cafeterias:

Make sure your cafeterias will be open by checking the Crous of Paris website ;).

Bon appétit!
