Haven’t been here for a while and what a pleasant surprise. Food is usually decent but we’re intrigued by their menu as they are leaning in on French food. We had a great meal. The duck cassoulet was amazing. Great pizzas as usual. Ambiance is still a nice casual dining experience but the food has definitely been kicked up a notch since our last visit. We will be back for sure!

Thank you for all the great feedback Scott! Chef has been leaning into French country cooking for this menu, and it has gone over very well.

Had an excellent experience at Atmosphere Cafe today! Menu was efficient with selection and the chosen lunches for the two of us were both excellent and didn't break the bank. The server was attentive but not smothering and we had a great time. Would strongly recommend to anyone!

We had a really nice “birthday lunch” for my daughter (22) today at Atmosphere! There were five adults in total and the service and food from Lily and folks there were top drawer. Yummy, fresh, great portions! We went because my own Birthday lunch there in the spring was a lovely midday meal - and today proved that’s not a 1-time thing. The staff - especially Lilly - were and are super. ThankYOU for giving us this terrific option for dining when we come into Guelph to celebrate. See you again SOON!
Atmosphere cafe + etc.Responded on October 23, 2024
That's really good to hear! We're always proud of our portion sizes here, we don't want anyone leaving hungry, and getting tiny apps and entrees these days is no fun. We'll make sure to pass on the good word to your server, and looking forward to seeing you guys soon!
