Our Gastronomic Roundtable ("Gastronomischer Stammtisch") at the Stuttgart-Vaihingen campus continues:
We invite you to join us on October 15, from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm., in the Spiegelsaal of the Mensa Vaihingen to chat, exchange ideas, and work together to bring about improvements.
Registration: via email to AL-Gastronomie@sw-stuttgart.de
The Gastronomische Stammtisch is held in German!
What is the Gastronomische Stammtisch?
In our 2025 customer survey, you let us know that you’d like to see even more from our dining offerings. That’s exactly where the get-together comes in: It takes place once a month and provides a regular opportunity for students to exchange ideas with our gastronomic Team.
At our last meeting on September 23, we discussed, among other things, the upcoming changes at the Mensa Vaihingen. Starting Monday, September 28, the mensa buffet will be back. There you’ll find vegetarian and vegan options as well as meat, side dishes, and vegetables. So you can easily put together your own plate and decide what and how much you want to eat!
We’re responding here to your request regarding whether half portions or larger portions are available for main courses.
Another point was variety in the menu: You’ve been asking for more choices. In addition to the mensa buffet, the “All Time Classics” will also be available at the Mensa Vaihingen starting Monday, September 28. Starting Monday, October 5, we’ll also be opening the Food Lounge on the ground floor for you. There, you’ll find our wok dishes, the pasta bar, Loaded Fries, and another salad bar.
In the coming days, new signage will also be installed so you can find your favorite dish even faster. More information about the changes at the Mensa Vaihingen
Here are some additional suggestions we’ve gathered from you (selection):
- A wider variety at the pasta bar (especially when it comes to vegan sauces)
- International dishes
- Burgers, for example with a vegetable patty
We’ll discuss and review these as a team.
Sustainability and how to handle leftover food and baked goods were also topics of discussion at our last get-together.
Thank you very much for your ideas and feedback - we look forward to continuing our dialogue with you and will keep you updated!
