Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Off-campus restaurants fare well with Davis students. Some even claim that the dining establishments are some of the best things about the town! An advantage of the college-town arrangement is low-priced food, and students seem to take advantage of the bargains whenever possible. With ethnically diverse options like Italian, Indian, Mediterranean, Asian, Mexican, French, and contemporary California cuisine, downtown provides students with nearly as many culinary options as a more metropolitan city.

Despite Davis’ small size, students have no problem finding palate-pleasing meals off campus. Restaurants are authentic and unique, ranging from the dollar menu at In-N-Out Burger to the more upscale establishments, like Soga’s and Strings. Overall, students seem to enjoy the downtown area and are always able to find a decent meal.

Decent Food

Davis has decent food options. It does not have a great city life, but the food quality is average. Everything is within biking distance.

Great Restaurant Choices in a College Town

There are many kinds of restaurants all around the UC Davis campus, ranging from fast food to fancy dinner to satisfy the stomachs of all five thousand students. I love the Raja's Cafe right next to the campus. It's inexpensive and only one block away from campus. Not to mention the extremely nice owners of the restaurant.

Crepe's

This place has the best crepes ever. The food is overpriced but they do give you a big plate of food. I have ordered both crepes and the pasta; they are both worth every dollar. They need to lower some of there prices because some college students can't afford to eat there. For example, my friend didn't an extra dollar to buy pasta so he didn't get any food. As a generous college student, I ended up giving him a dollar. The place has good food though.
