For the Mensa of the University of Stuttgart
Your Mensa menu, made for you.
Mensa Menu shows the daily menu of the Mensa clearly and filtered by what matters to you: allergens, additives, vegan or vegetarian. Rate dishes, keep track of what you ate and have the menu on your home screen.
Everything for your lunch break
Mensa Menu turns the daily menu into a clear list that fits your diet, your budget and your taste.
Filters that fit you
Hide dishes with allergens or additives you avoid, show only vegan or vegetarian food and choose which courses you want to see.
Ratings and favourites
Rate taste, appearance and value for money with up to five stars. See how others rate a dish, and let your own ratings mark your favourites.
Your favourite dish is back
Get a short notification the evening before a dish you rated well is served again. At most one a day, never at night.
Track what you ate
Mark the dishes you ate with one tap. Your meals of the day are collected with their nutrition totals and can be exported to Health Connect or Apple Health.
Nutrition at a glance
Energy, fat, carbohydrates, sugar, protein and salt for every dish, per 100 g and per portion, copied with one tap.
Home screen widgets
Five widgets: the menu of the day, the week, the dish with the most protein, the healthiest pick and a reminder to rate your meal.
Two weeks ahead
Swipe through this week and next week to plan your lunches in advance.
Your price
See the price for students, employees or guests, whichever applies to you.
CO2 per portion
Show the CO2 footprint of every dish if you like, and find the climate-friendly options.
A picture of every dish
Every dish comes with an AI-generated preview image, so you get an impression before you queue.
Six languages
English, German, French, Japanese, Swedish and Chinese, including the names of the dishes.
Light and dark
A clean black and white design that follows the appearance of your phone.
Health Connect · Apple Health
Your Mensa meals in your health app
Mensa Menu connects to Health Connect on Android and Apple Health on iPhone. What you eat at the Mensa ends up in the same place as the rest of your nutrition data.
Mark with a tap
Tap the fork on the dishes you ate. The app collects your meals of the day with their nutrition totals.
Exported automatically
Switch on the health export once. From then on, every dish you mark is written as a lunch entry with energy, protein, carbohydrates, fat, sugar and more per portion.
Stays on your phone
The values are written only to the health app on your device. Mensa Menu reads nothing from it and passes nothing on to third parties.
Health Connect requires Android 9 or later. Apps that read nutrition data from Health Connect or Apple Health can show your Mensa meals too.
The menu on your home screen
See what's for lunch without opening the app. All widgets follow your filters and the colours of your phone.
Ready in a minute
Install
Download Mensa Menu from Google Play or the App Store.
Set your preferences

Eat, rate, repeat
Check the menu, rate what you ate and let the app tell you when a favourite is back.
Frequently asked questions
Is Mensa Menu an official app of the university?
No. Mensa Menu is an independent app and is not affiliated with the University of Stuttgart or the Studierendenwerk Stuttgart.
Do I need an account?
No. The menu, the filters and the widgets work without an account. You only need one to rate dishes.
Does Mensa Menu work with my health app?
Yes. Switch on the health export in the settings, and every dish you mark as eaten is written to Health Connect (Android 9 or later) or Apple Health (iPhone) as a lunch entry with its nutrition values per portion. Mensa Menu does not read any health data.
Why do the dish images look unreal?
They are synthesized. We don't hold the rights to the dish photos, so the app uses AI-generated previews to convey a general impression.
The dish in the Mensa looked completely different from the image in the app
Because the images are AI-generated, they may differ from the meals served. Please treat them as visual cues, not exact depictions. Note that we do not assume responsibility for your purchases at the University of Stuttgart.
The Mensa information was incorrect
We align our data with the official sources of the Studierendenwerk, yet occasional discrepancies can occur. Please note that we cannot assume responsibility for purchases at the University of Stuttgart based on this information.
Does the app track personal data beyond the required sign-in credentials and functional data like dish ratings?
The short answer is no. For details, see the privacy policy.
