Information for freshmen

Kårkaféerna consists of four lunchrestaurants: Kårkafé Arken, Aurum, ASA, Gado (closed until further notice) and Kåren. Kårkaféerna is operated by the economy sector of the Student Union of Åbo Akademi University. The company is owned by students and alumni. We offer affordable, tasty and healthy studentlunches every day. Our restaurants are usually filled with laughter. To us, eating is more than filling up on energy – it is a chance to meet friends and share the highlights of our day.

Welcome to Kårkaféerna to enjoy lunch every day!

BRING YOUR STUDENT CARD

To get subsidized student lunch you need to show your student card (plastic with a validation sticker or the Frank-app). Keep your student card visible already before getting to the register! Order your student card or dowload Frank in time. Before you get your card you can show a receipt or Student Union fee payment confirmation. A certification of you studying at Åbo Akademi University is not enough. The receipt is valid until 30th of September/31st of January. After this you need to show us the student card or a temporary meal subsidy card from The social insurance institution of Finland (read more at: https://www.kela.fi/web/en/meal-subsidy).
