When you think of a college cafeteria, a five-star dining experience isn't usually what comes to mind.

The cafeteria at UCLA, however, might change that.

Ranked the best college dining hall in America, UCLA's Bruin Plate Residential Restaurant is pretty spectacular.

Focused on serving locally-sourced, all-natural produce and meats, sustainable seafood, unprocessed and preservative-free items, and vegetarian and vegan options, Bruin Plate (nicknamed B-Plate) is among the first health-themed dining halls in the country. In fact, they hope to inspire "mindful eating."

Keep scrolling to see what makes this cafeteria so delicious and nutritious.
