In college, not having to cook beats cooking every time. But it can become pretty boring sitting in your room eating Chinese takeout two times a week. Eating out can seem too expensive for your student budget, So, here are 10 cheap restaurants near UL that won\u2019t leave you feeling guilty.<\/p>\n

1. Lana<\/h3>\n

In my opinion one of the main selling points of Lana in Castletroy is the free ice cream cone that comes with every meal, as well as fulfilling your childhood dream, of being able to pull an ice cream cone yourself, from a machine right in the restaurant. The Asian style food is amazing, price is reasonable and the cheerful, upbeat atmosphere is next to none.<\/p>\n

2. Marco Polo<\/h3>\n

Everyone in Limerick knows this restaurant, conveniently located in the middle of the city on O\u2019Connell Street. For just \u20ac15 you can get a two course lunch and a free drink. The price is so worth it not just because of the amazing food, but also the elegant plush d\u00e9cor, that will make you feel so much more successful than a college student who eats Lidil noodles two times a week.<\/p>\n
