Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Off-campus dining is as diverse as Los Angeles. If you’re in the mood for Italian, try southern Italian in Playa del Rey and northern Italian in the Marina. There are numerous pizza places within walking distance of campus, along with the usual fast food staples like Quizno’s, KFC, and Taco Bell. Venture away from campus, and you’ll find restaurants appealing to all tastes and price ranges.

One popular locale for good food is Marina del Rey. Drive along Admiralty Way and drop in on one of the high-priced favorites that overlook the marina. Among the little seafood places is a franchise of the Cheesecake Factory; however, bring some cash because valet parking is mandatory. Another good option is the Warehouse. This Polynesian-themed restaurant offers steaks, lobster, and fish. If you want burgers, try Islands. There is no shortage of restaurants in the area. Try Venice, Playa del Rey, El Segundo, Manhattan Beach, and Santa Monica for more fine fare.

Prone to Get Freshman 15

There are many amazing places to eat close to LMU. If you simply walk to Lincoln there are many cute places: Crepes, Italian food, Thai food, and Mexican food. If you get bored of that you can always catch a ride with a freind or with the LMU shuttle to places nearby in Culver City and Santa Monica.

Off Campus Dining

What is great about LMU is that your on-campus dining card also works for many places off campus. It is best to not get an on-campus meal plan, and put it all toward your "one-dollars" - this way you can use it on or off campus!

Eating Life Around LMU

Eating around LMU is awesome there are many places that offer student discounts. Easily over 30 well-known eateries. The prices range depending on what you're looking for as do the styles. There is every type of cuisine within a 10 mile radius and there is take-out, sit down, cheap, fancy whatever you are looking for it is available. My favorite little place is KC's Crepes. They offer an awesome atmosphere and decent prices and you could walk there from campus.
