KUIS has a variation of cafes and restaurants, including the trendy KUIS café which lunch can be taken or Balconne, where freshly-baked bread can be enjoyed, and the No. 1 student cafeteria which serves much loved set menus. These eateries are also open to the general public and have a popular reputation amongst locals.
KUIS café
The cafeteria on the 3rd floor of Building 7. The daily special lunch is especially popular with the students. On fine days, lunch can be enjoyed under the sun on the open terrace.
Balcone
Freshly-baked bread can be enjoyed at Balcone, on the 2nd floor of Building 4. The bread is baked between 10 am and 12 midday, during which time the smell of baking bread wafts out of the building. Lines of customers soon appear so it is best to aim for 11:30, when most of the bread is ready.
