"The most exciting culinary experience on a college campus"

Culinary Productions at Oglethorpe University

WELCOME to Bon Appétit! We would like to introduce you to our programs and services that are designed to suit all of our customers. Take a look at what's cooking.

Traditional Dining in Emerson Café is an "all you can eat" type of service. You can choose from a wide variety of delicious entrees from vegetarian, seasonal fruits, salad bar, deli, pizza and desserts. Our menu changes daily, providing selections to suit everyone. In the traditional dining hall one meal is deducted from your meal plan and you may return for unlimited seconds.

Café Bon Appetit at Emerson combines restaurant style service with on-campus convenience. What's more, it offers a combination of choices you may never have seen on a college campus before. These choices are made using fresh ingredients and made-from-scratch preparation methods whenever practical. Our featured "Specialty Shops" include:

  • Cucina Verde - Our Vegetarian program located conveniently in the serving area offers an array of options such as: hummus, soymilk and tofu as well as a variety of salads that will change daily.  Our chef works closely with student vegans and vegetarians to make certain that their nutritional needs and preferences are being met and respected.
