Everyone loves eating out, right?

Whether it's a hungover brunch or superfood dinner, it's nice to treat yourself to a restaurant-cooked meal sometimes.

However, this can be a little tricky on a student budget. Lucky for you, London has a culturally diverse selection of student-friendly food. From Mexican to Korean and everything in between, you will definitely something perfect for you...

Brunch?

Brick House: Enjoy fresh bakery produce, cornbread muffins and a wide range of egg dishes here. Avocado toast is only £4 and fried eggs with your choice of trimmings only comes to £8.

Lunch?

Brother Marcus: If you fancy a Brooklyn style cafe, check out Brother Marcus. Most plates are around £8-9. You can get super salads with halloumi or even salmon if you are living on a larger student budget.

Lunch?

Daddy Donkey: If Mexican food is your thing, Daddy Donkey serves burritos, dinner-plate tortillas and you can add extra guacamole or jalapenos for extra spice. It is £6.50 for most dishes and £1 for extras. Bargain!

Dinner?

Dinner?

Gokyuzu: When you are STARVING, get a massive portion of London's best Greek and Turkish food. They serve all things mezze, grills and stews to share. Mezze plates are around £4 (you'll need about 3 of these) and grills are £12.

Hungover food?
