In general, the Canteen aims to propose simple, unsophisticated meals, with clear separation of components (meat/side-dish/vegetables), very limited presence of deep fried and pre-processed food, and limited amount of salt.
Traditional foods and recipes from the language sections represented in the School are available on a regular basis.
Once a month, under the heading "Focus Menu", the Canteen offers a traditional menu based on one of the European states' cuisine.

According to the Canteen Food Policy, a vegetarian option is included in the menu of the Canteen:
Nursery and P1-P2 students will receive either fresh vegetables or soup, depending on the days.
Students from P3 and older can also use one of the four salad bars; soup is available on most of the days at a soup-bar.
Components of the main course are separated, to allow children to easily eat just the vegetarian ones.
For Secondary students, a hot and cold meat-less alternative is available every day ("Green Meal").

Although the APEEE is very attentive to intolerances and allergies and is investigating new leads, in practical terms it is not possible to respond to specific cases, and thus to prepare special menus for individual needs.
Parents are invited to check the information about the ingredients of the menus that is displayed in the web site on a daily basis, in order to manage any allergy concerns.
A weekly menu is available which resumes the 14 required food allergens for the planned menus. You can find the basic menu weekly allergens and the vegetarian menu weekly allergens on their respective pages.
