As Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) has three campus locations, I will deal with each location separately and link to the appropriate other articles.
Campus Alte Technik – Old Campus
You can find information on available vending machines and Café Kork, which is on the old campus, in this article "TU Graz: Food and drink at Campus Alte Technik".
Another place worth mentioning is certainly Café Tribeka, located at Technikerstraße 13, just across the street from Campus Alte Technik. Here you can enjoy a cup of coffee, a sandwich, a hot meal or a cake, all whilst having access to tables big enough to study at. A win-win situation for sure!
If on the other hand you want to satisfy a bigger hunger, I recommend you check out Bar28, which is located at Gartengasse 28, yet again right across from the old campus. This is also an amazing place if you would like to enjoy a drink with your colleagues after the study day is over, since there are group tables available.
In case you are just looking for a quick snack and need to know where the nearest supermarket is, there are three options available all within five to ten minute walk from the old campus:
- SPAR at Dietrichsteinplatz 12
- SPAR at Maiffredygasse 8
- SPAR at Rechbauerstraße 38
Campus Neue Technik – New Campus
You can find information on available vending machines, the TU Graz Rooftop Cafeteria and the M-Café in the article "TU Graz: Food and drink at Campus Neue Technik".
When I have lectures at Campus Neue Technik, my personal favourite place to eat is definitely TU Graz’s Rooftop canteen at Stremayrgasse 16. Not only does it offer an amazing view and affordable food, but it has also become a great place to socialise and spend time with friends and colleagues during weekdays. There are always several good food options which I think is a huge plus as it keeps things interesting throughout the semester.
The closest supermarket is either SPAR at Dietrichsteinplatz 12 or SPAR at Rechbauerstraße 38, depending on where you are.
Campus Inffeld
You can find information on available vending machines, Trudl’s Noodle Truck and the Inffeldgasse canteen in the article "TU Graz: Food and drink at Campus Inffeld".
Since I study mechanical engineering at TU Graz, Campus Inffeldgasse is the campus where I spend most of my time, and the TU Graz Mensa (canteen) at the study center is my absolute favourite spot for lunch. The location is very convenient for everyone on the campus, and in my experience the food is always both good and affordable.
Another popular spot is definitely Best Food Grill 5 at Münzgrabenstraße 112, which is a small fast-food restaurant offering everything from pizza to kebab. This is a great place to grab a quick bite on the go. Fast-food restaurant Antalya on Petersgasse 106 offers a similar selection of food at a similarly affordable price.
But if I’m craving a good cup of coffee and some pastries, my favourite choice is MARTIN AUER located on Marburger Straße 10. It is a few minutes walk from the campus, but when I have a longer break, I love to go there and study, since it is usually not that crowded on weekdays.
The nearest supermarkets are SPAR at Moserhofgasse 42 and BILLA at Münzgrabenstraße 92e.
