The cafeteria is open from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
Whether or not you are a cafeteria customer, you are welcome to sit in the dining hall for lunch.

École Polytechnique Dining Options
Located less than a 10-minute walk from the school, three options are available to you.
- The “Magnan Self,” École Polytechnique’s restaurant: it operates as a self-service restaurant and offers several dishes to choose from, including at least one vegetarian option, with appetizers, cheeses, and desserts rounding out the menu. Dining in only; no takeout available.
Open Monday through Friday from 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM and from 5:30 PM to 7:15 PM. On Saturday from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM. Closed on public holidays and during École Polytechnique closures.
Lunch is partially subsidized by ENSTA. Users pay using the meal account activated on their magnetic badge. Visitors pay a flat rate by purchasing a meal ticket at the central cashier (Monday through Friday from 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM) or at the kiosks at the cafeteria entrance using a credit card.
A reduced rate applies under certain conditions posted in front of the central cashier, upon presentation of proof of eligibility.
- The salad bar: build your own salad (billed by weight), and add a dessert if you’d like. The salad bar is located next to the Magnan Self.
- The “Magnan Cafeteria,” offering high-quality, varied on-the-go dining (salads & sandwiches, treats, etc.) to eat in or take out. A comprehensive menu that prioritizes locally sourced ingredients, offering a variety of options from breakfast to afternoon snacks.
Open Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 3:00 PM, on the mezzanine of the École Polytechnique lobby.
Payment with the magnetic badge (= active meal account) or credit card.
Vending Machines
Vending machines for snacks, hot and cold beverages are also available on the school campus (payment with the ISIC-Moneo card distributed at the beginning of the year).
