The cheapest set menu in the University of Zaragoza area: two courses, a drink, dessert and “home-cooked food” for 8 euros
This restaurant, specializing in vegetarian options, offers a daily menu of "home-style cooking" for around 8 euros, including two courses, a drink, and dessert.
Finding a complete set menu for under €10 is becoming increasingly difficult in Zaragoza, especially in the busier, more central areas. However, there are still restaurants that maintain reasonable prices and offer a full, home-cooked meal without resorting to sandwiches or quick fixes.
One of them is Los Helechos, a vegetarian restaurant located on Corona de Aragón street, just a few minutes from the University of Zaragoza. Its daily menu costs around 8 euros, a price that places it among the cheapest in the city.
A complete menu for 8 euros next to the University
Los Helechos is located at number 21 Corona de Aragón Street, very close to the San Francisco University campus. Its location makes it a particularly attractive option for students, workers, and locals looking for an affordable lunchtime restaurant.
"A dream," says one customer, "the food is delicious and inexpensive. A daily set menu for 8 euros includes two courses (with plenty of options and generous portions), dessert, and water or wine." "First time here, it was recommended to me and it's definitely a great choice," she declares in her review.
The menu is entirely vegetarian and focuses on simple, home-style cooking. It changes regularly, offering a variety of dishes such as vegetable rice, pasta, legumes, soups, salads, and different vegetable preparations. The restaurant also provides vegan options and some alternatives for people following specific diets.
Another characteristic of Los Helechos is its operation. The restaurant uses a self-service system, so the customer picks up a tray, places their order at the counter, and then takes the food to their table.
It's a quick and practical option, especially designed for lunchtime. And it fits perfectly with the philosophy of an establishment that has maintained for years a menu based on vegetarian, home-style cooking and reasonable prices, continuing to win over those looking for "delicious and affordable" food.
A cheap dining option in the university area
Located next to the University of Zaragoza and with a menu priced around 8 euros, Los Helechos presents itself as one of those addresses that can be especially interesting for those looking to eat "good and cheap" food in the city.
Two courses, dessert and a drink for that price makes the restaurant stand out within the area's offerings and also positions it as one of the most economical in the entire Aragonese capital.
