Free school meals – a unique benefit on a global scale

Did you know that free school meals are an exceptional benefit on a global scale? School meals provide a healthy and varied lunch that supports your ability to cope and learn during the school day. When you assemble your school meal in accordance with the plate model and have suitable portions of everything on your plate, the meal will take care of around one third of your daily nutritional needs. You can supplement the rest with food you eat at home.

At school, you can choose the food you want to eat every day from the two options on offer, or even try both. At least one of the dishes is vegan or lacto-ovo vegetarian.

In addition to the main course, you should complement your meal with fresh vegetables, bread and a drink. One school lunch costs the City just over a couple of euros per pupil. For this money, you get a daily hot lunch, prepared for you, with a variety of options.
