Food on Campus - Food restrictions..?
Hey guys!
I'm entering first year and I've visited MAC a couple of times but I've never really looked into the food options. I'm wondering what there is with respect to Halal/kosher meat?

Are there any options with those types of meat - and if so, what are they prices like?

What are good options for vegetarians (not talking about sandwiches/bagels necessarily ). For vegetarians the best option I hear is Bridges..? (I also love the make your own pasta place that they had ). How are the prices for these veggie-option restaurants?

Is there any place that serves on the healthier side? I'm not the biggest fan of fast food and I don't want to gain the freshman 15. But one thing - are the healthy meals far more expensive..?

Finally, are any food places open later at night (since I'll probably want this while studying for exams and what not )?

That's a lot of questions...
Anyway, thanks!

Here's a thread that deals a bit with what you're talking about

I know Willy Dog has halal options; not sure about Centro (rez cafeteria) or La Piazza

Centre stage (burger place) opens till midnight (or 11 keeps changing). After that Gino's pizza is open till the wee hours of the morning but it's kinda crap. Most other places that open "late" close at midnight

Basilique is one of your choices available. Not on campus but close enough, they accept McMaster Meal plans too!
