Best Cheap Fast Food Restaurants for Students in Reims, France

In a country famous for its gourmet dishes, delicious cheeses, fancy pastries, and regional specialties, amazing food is always just around the corner. Living in France as a student is, of course, an opportunity to take part in this iconic category of French culture. However, students in France, much like students all around the world, also love cheap, convenient, food. While fast food isn’t something we partake in daily, the sanitary situation has kept many sit-down restaurants closed to the public for months. Therefore, Jalen and I have tried a few fast food restaurants in Reims and picked our favorites to recommend to you.

Read on for cheap eats that anyone on a budget will enjoy in the beautiful city of Reims!


Made in Pizza

Made in Pizza is classic student food. Whether you’re in the mood for pizza, fries, french tacos, or a sandwich, you can get it here for super cheap! Our favorite part about this restaurant is that they offer free delivery.

Jalen’s recommendation: Ailes de poulet

Maria’s recommendation: Pizza “Marguerita


Sushi Shop

Sushi Shop is a chain restaurant that offers everything from sashimi to poke bowls to themed sushi platters. Though it’s far from authentic Japanese food, we love this restaurant’s wide variety of unique menu items.
