Dear Princeton students,
Welcome, Class of 2028! We are thrilled to have you join the Princeton community, and to our returning students, welcome back! We look forward to sharing another exciting and enriching year with all of you.
The start of the academic year is always an exhilarating time at Princeton, and our dining halls are no exception. This year, we have a variety of exciting programs and events lined up to make your dining experience exceptional.
Service excellence is one of our core principles. We are dedicated to providing you with outstanding food and inspiring culinary experiences. Our team of over 400 passionate chefs and staff is committed to making your time at Princeton as delicious as possible. We take pride in crafting meals that delight the senses with diverse flavors, enticing recipes, and expertly prepared dishes.
In our dining halls, be sure to check out our informative health and wellness tastings, EatWell with our wellness dietitian, and our innovative Chef’s Tables, where you’ll have the opportunity to meet our chefs and the entire culinary team. Additionally, we are excited to host two guest chefs this year, who will bring their authentic cuisines and extensive culinary knowledge to our campus.

Our award-winning dining program is designed to be inclusive, accommodating a wide range of dietary needs and preferences. We continue to expand our Kosher and Halal options and provide comprehensive support for students with food allergies or other specific dietary requirements.
Sustainability is at the heart of Princeton Campus Dining. We are committed to making decisions that benefit both you and the planet. This includes developing seasonal menus using locally sourced ingredients, offering a variety of plant-forward options, reducing food waste in our kitchens, and collaborating with The Campus as Lab program to minimize disposable use in our serveries. We are also continuing our on-site food scrap composting research partnership with S.C.R.A.P. lab
We are excited to introduce some new additions this year, including our newest café at the Meadows Apartments, which offers made-to-order specials, grab-and-go meals, and a full-service coffee experience. Don’t miss out on our new crispy chicken sandwich, created by our chef team at Frist, featuring a buttermilk-pickle batter and fried to perfection, along with expanded options at each station within the Food Gallery at Frist.
We look forward to welcoming you to your first meal of the 2024-2025 academic year!
