Where to Eat on The Corner

The Corner at UVA

Dining on the Corner has been a primary activity since 1819.

Conveniently located in walking distance to Central Grounds and many off-campus apartments, the Corner is the perfect place to dine while touring the University of Virginia. If you’re looking for a quick bite to eat in the middle of the day or some hearty fare for dinner, the Corner offers seven blocks of options, from small chains to local favorites and even entrepreneurial start-ups from some of U.Va.’s very own alumni!
