Feeling lazy

Haley S., M1

The WashU community has a surprising number of budding chefs and bakers! As a student, I would highly recommend taking advantage of the class food events, such as Friendsgiving and bake-offs. Scheduled the week before Thanksgiving break, Friendsgiving is a wonderful opportunity to eat delicious food cooked by your classmates and ring in the holidays. The bake-offs are more frequent, often scheduled before exams, and are the perfect study breaks! Some class favorites include: homemade applesauce, skillet cornbread, bacon-wrapped stuffed dates and pumpkin cheesecake at Friendsgiving; carrot cake, chocolate raspberry macarons, buckeyes, apple turnover, and chocolate chip cookies were hits at the bake-offs.

There are so many great places to grab a bite when you need to stick around campus. Some great options are listed here, in no particular order.

Another cafeteria with a student discount and colorful ambiance in St. Louis Children's Hospital.

The FLTC location is right next to classrooms and carrels and is a popular meeting place. All locations are vegetarian friendly, and the FLTC location is fully vegetarian. The Euclid location is great for studying and has a mix of cozy/modern vibes. It’s a bit crowded during the weekend but in general, a great place to hang out with friends and get some work done!

Excellent hot pastrami sandwiches, Cubans, reubens, soup, and deli sandwiches.

Quick fix for poke bowls, right across the street from campus.

Best Indian food in town! Quite a bit fancier than the other options. Craving Indian buffet-style dining for lunch? Rasoi has you covered, and you barely have to step outside to get there from campus.

Burgers, fries, and shakes from a company started by a St. Louis native.

Solid cafeteria found in the same building as classrooms.
