Meals are available in the student cafeteria, which is also run by SIA. The cafeteria was voted by students to be the best in Norway in 2002, 2004 and 2005 Gallup surveys. It includes a full-service cafeteria, bakery, fast-food counter and cafe.
Lunch services range from sandwiches (NOK 30-45), salads (NOK 45), soups (NOK 25), burgers (NOK 20) and pizza (NOK15) to a full warm meal (NOK 45-55). Dinner is also available in the cafeteria until 5:30 pm. However, many Norwegian students follow the tradition of bringing their lunch with them to campus and the majority of students prepare their own dinners at home. Student accommodation is self-catering, and meal plans are not offered.
