FOOD SERVICE

Especialists in food service

It was in 2003 when we began to manage the cafe-restaurant of the Business Faculty of the University of Barcelona (UB), now known as Business and Economics 696. Since then, thanks to our know-how and our passion for well done work, we have achieved the management of collective restoration of a total of 21 different cafes and restaurants of Catalan universities.

We are heirs to a long tradition in the various aspects of the hostelry and over the years we have specialized in the field of catering. Currently, Universitas means versatile, accessible and pleasant perfect spaces to enjoy multisensory dining experiences offered by our friendly, highly qualified and motivated team.

Quality products, competitive prices and constant commitment to healthy Mediterranean diet mark our wide range of basic services, that we complete with customized own proposals to satisfy the expectations and demands of our customers.

Aware that user expectations are every day more than a good price and a good product, we are committed to turn Universitas cafes and restaurants in centers set up and optimized to enjoy the cuisine with the five senses.
