Summer holidays don't have to mean the end of tasty and affordable meals in school cafeterias. Several facilities involved in the project Green dining room continue to operate during July and August – some fully, others at least for part of the holidays. And the good news: several of them also offer plant-based foods!

We bring you an overview of which cities you can count on a hot lunch plate in the spirit of sustainable eating, even in the summer.

🌱 Why stop at school cafeterias even in the summer?

School cafeterias are more than just a place where students eat during the semester. They are community spaces that can be a pleasant alternative to fast food or expensive takeout during the summer. The benefits are clear:

• Affordable and tasty food
• Possibility to choose plant-based food
• Support for school cooks
• Lower environmental footprint compared to regular dining out

Not all dining rooms are fully operational, so we always recommend checking opening hours or food menu for a specific day in advance.
