Dining Options

Campus dining is about more than food. It’s also about memorable experiences and gathering places that foster a sense of community and comfort. Whether enjoying a burger and the ocean breeze with friends on the café balcony, munching on a salad with your study group in the Student Center or grabbing a food truck taco at First Tuesday, you’ll find flavorful, freshly prepared meals and a dash of good conversation.

Bistro by the Sea

Marymount partners with Bon Appétit for on-campus food services, including restaurant-style cuisine at Bistro by the Sea, the main Oceanview campus café. Diners can enjoy hot breakfasts and homemade pastries, daily chef selections, made-to-order sandwiches from the grill, salads, veggie bowls, parfaits and fruit cups, freshly baked desserts, and convenient to-go snacks and drinks. The café serves breakfast and lunch daily during the week and will begin dinner service Fall 2022. For daily menus, catering and nutritional information, check out the Bon Appétit website.

Dining Plans

All first-year residents in the Villas will be required to select a meal plan. MCU offers three options to fit your lifestyle and budget while providing fresh, healthy and delicious meals and snacks. Choosing the best plan will depend on how much and how often you eat in a week.
