  • On ‘Veggie Thursdays’, a special vegetarian meal is also offered. Learn more
  • Snacks and on-the-go food includes meatless or vegan sandwiches, pasta, and salad.

Responsible eating

ULB restaurants (Chez Théo, Campouce, Le Forum) are committed to offering eco-friendly food:

  • Zero palm oil
  • At least 50% of the fruits and vegetables offered are in season, with a higher percentage between June and September
  • On Wednesdays, Chez Théo offers local soup made with produce from Agricovert, a coop that also offers its products every Tuesday on the Solbosch campus market.
  • Fish species that are threatened by overfishing are banned from all food products offered at ULB.
  • The Oxfam shop on the Solbosch campus offers fair trade food products.

Local and in season

Healthy

ULB restaurants (Chez Théo, Campouce, Le Forum) limit the use of products whose consumption should be curbed according to WHO guidelines.

  • Red meat is only offered once a week: in the daily special on Wednesdays.
  • Coconut oil is not used, due to its high saturated fat content.
  • Campouce offers organic products every day in its salad bar (green containers).

Thirsty?

Let go of your plastic bottles: it’s cheaper and greener!

All restaurants have free water fountains. Fountains can also be found in several buildings on the Solbosch, La Plaine, Erasme, and Flagey campuses, meaning less waste and more savings!
