Canteens

The easiest and fastest option for food are canteens ("menza"). There is a canteen in the dormitory Volha and two canteens on the university campus, about 5 minute walk from UCT Prague.

"Red" Canteen (Menza Studentský dům): Bílá 6, Prague 6

Price of the Lunch

The discounted price for students (only when paying with ISIC or university card) is approximately 80–130 CZK (≈ 3 – 5 EUR)

How to Pay in the Canteen?

The Red and Blue canteens are managed by the Czech Technical University (the other university located on our campus). You can pay with a UCT Prague university card/ISIC there, however, the financial account is separate from the Volha canteen and UCT Prague copy center. Therefore, you have to load money for the Volha canteen & copy center and the canteens on the campus separately.

You can load the money in cash, or online via GoPay (only if you have already deposited money on your card in cash before). You can also pay by debit card, but that way you cannot get the student discount. Note that menus are available online: in EMIL along with other nearby restaurants or on the CTU canteen website (in English).

In the Red and Blue canteens, you take the food from the food desk first and then go to the cash desk.

In the Volha canteen, money is deposited on the cash desk on the left side of the food desk, and to choose the meal you need to press the number of the meal on the display of the meals and pay with the ISIC card first. Then you can take the meal from the food desk.

You won't find a canteen in Holešovice campus, but discounts are arranged for students in selected restaurants and bistros in the vicinity of the school. Details can be found in the map.

Tips from international students

You may meet a canteen personnel who does not speak English well, in such a case prepare the card and the amount of money you need to deposit and smile. :)
Beware: Czech food is often different from what it looks like. However, there is usually some familiar food like spaghetti, fried cheese, or chicken meat. The vegan option may exist only in the Blue canteen.
