Dining and Food
Campus Dining at Notre Dame can trace its roots back to the University's earliest days, when a significant majority of the structures on campus were farm buildings near the banks of St. Mary's Lake, producing the sustenance needed to feed a fledgling, yet growing student and faculty population. Today, Campus Dining serves the more than 25,000 students, faculty, staff and visitors to the University through nearly 30 eating establishments, including fine dining, full-service restaurants, quick-service restaurants, and cafes. While our operation has grown in size and complexity, we still hold to the mission and values of those early days - serving the Notre Dame family and its guests the highest quality menu we know how, prepared expertly by professionals in their craft.
South Dining Hall (SDH)
South Dining Hall is the older of the University's two dining halls, opening in 1927. It is one of the finest examples of Gothic design in the United States, its architecture reminiscent of a medieval Guild Hall. In the early days of its operation, students dressed in coat and tie and dined family style. Today, students come as they are to take advantage of modern kitchen facilities and a food court design that blend with the building’s original murals, stone fireplaces and oak tables and chairs.

North Dining Hall (NDH)
North Dining Hall is located adjacent to Haggar Hall and Farley Hall on North Quad. Built in 1957, it was the final building to be constructed on North Quad. North Dining Hall offers the same menu as its counterpart, South Dining Hall, but in a more contemporary setting. Some 100 different entrees and 20 different beverages are served up each day to students on the northeast side of campus. NDH was renovated in 2017. Visit the NDH menu online.
