Mensa is the Italian word for canteen. The canteen here is very different from the ones I had at IUT PARIS DESCARTES.

The canteen is a hundred meters from the university of Pula. It is a one-story building, with the canteen part on the ground floor and the pizzeria part which is located on the first floor. Mensa is open 7 days a week (yes you are not dreaming, Sundays too) from 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. The menus are very balanced with most often a soup or broth as an appetizer. Are you a vegan? No worries, vegan menus are provided. What I really like is that you can easily find some local culinary specialties in main dishes such as ćevapi or gnocchi. When you arrive at the cash desk, you must present your student card to benefit from the 70% student promotion. The price of a meal in the canteen varies between 7 kn (€ 1) and 10 kn (€ 1.30), depending on what you have chosen. One small dampener: there is no carafe of water, you have to pay for a bottle of water.
