Resto'U de l'AFGES la Gallia sur Strasbourg

First time at the CROUS (student cafeteria), and I wasn't disappointed. I had a lot of preconceived notions about the €1 deal, but it surprised me in a good way. I went with my friends after working at the BNU (National and University Library of Strasbourg), and we were expecting a couple of fries and a small piece of meat, but not at all. We enjoyed a generous portion of rice and white cabbage, as well as a good steak with a very appetizing sauce. One of my friends ordered a plate of fries, and he had no complaints. Hoping to come back and discover some new surprises.

Honestly, a very good experience: efficient service, a very decent meal, polite staff, and a beautiful setting. The queue might be a concern, but the wait isn't actually that long. However, there was one small drawback: no tap water 😬. I would have liked to give it 4.5 stars, but there's no rating system, and it wasn't quite perfect enough for 5, so a 4 is the only option.

Excellent culinary experience. I was particularly surprised by the warm welcome from the staff. For 1 euro, I was able to satisfy my hunger, which is impressive. Unfortunately, I can't give it 5 stars because there weren't enough carafes of water to put on the table. I highly recommend this experience 😄

Okay, but the portion sizes are a disaster. Plates aren't even a quarter full, and even if you ask for more, there's absolutely not enough—it's ridiculous. 3 stars because the desserts are slightly better than in other university restaurants. As for the staff, it's difficult to get a smile or anything friendly out of them, which is a shame.

Amazing service for the students, love the takeaway option! 🙏🥰

Ah Gallia... It's a university restaurant. Arguably the best one. Like all university restaurants though, it is a hit and a miss, especially with desserts, which change throughout the meal times and run out quickly. They also have not great entree options, but if there's something unique, it's good. The biggest problem with Gallia is the carbs in the main meal, it's always either wheat, fries, pasta, or rice. Mostly wheat though. A person could go weeks with nothing but wheat as their carb. Gallia needs variety in their carbs, please. Oh and, to give us more sauce for the huge amounts of wheat we're forced to eat.

The Crous & Go service was excellent; the lady was kind and helpful.
