VERI-NOURISHING

Harvard College has a single, unlimited meal plan as part of an overall effort to make your House the center of your Harvard community experience, and to ensure that all members of the House can participate in every activity on an equal footing with their peers. HUDS is pleased to help forge these bonds of House life through its comprehensive residential dining program.

Our Dining Halls

First and foremost, we believe in great food, made from fresh, quality ingredients and prepared as close to the time you will enjoy it as possible. Our menu is broad, featuring a variety of cuisines and highlighting a range of cultures or eating preferences. You’ll enjoy the comfortable flavors of home, but you’ll also have a chance to try new dishes. To keep things lively we’ll periodically host special meals or events - watch your dining hall and HUDS’ social media for information and updates.

Available Meals

Each day you have a delectable range of choices to make. But don't forget to view all the options like a pantry of ingredients you can mix, match and "hack" into your own personal dish!

Breakfast

Enjoy breakfast before or after class (or both!) Monday through Friday from 7:30-10:30am.

Lunch

Serving hours run from 11:30am-2:00pm daily, available in every House plus Annenberg (limited to first-years).

Flyby and Bag Meals

Eating on the run? Swing by FlyBy from 11am-2:30pm weekdays for a to-go meal; or pre-order breakfast, lunch or dinner for pickup from your dining hall.

Dinner

Dinner service runs from 5-7:30pm. Dinner is where our chefs will continue to wow you with popular globally-inspired dishes or everyday comforts like our grill station, plus greens-and grains, soups, pastas and more.

Special Events

Special events and theme meals are an opportunity to celebrate together and share our cultures, cuisines and experiences. For example, join us in the Yard for a mediterranean themed Crimson Jam at the start of the school year!

Dietary Needs

In support of those with food allergies, we’ve added Top 9 Allergens plus Gluten to our menu cards, and as always, all ingredients, nutrients, and allergens are available for view on our web menus.

Brain Break

HUDS’ late night, self-service snack break, offering assorted drinks, pastries, desserts, fruit, cereals, and additional snacks.

Kosher & Halal

Students keeping kosher or halal will find daily options to support them.
