    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!

    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!

    Server seemed new… maybe first day? She did well, but obviously wasn’t as familiar with the menus etc as one might expect. Food was mostly good… nice starters… my main complaint was that the meat was all expertly handled and perfectly cooked, while the veg seemed like an afterthought. I had a delicious piece of short rib, but I almost snapped my knife in half trying to cut through a carrot. The main part of the dish is the meat (delicious), but the veg that came with it was not really even warm, and mostly under-blanched. Remember that the veg on a meat dish is a supporting element that needs to prop up the dish… this time it let it down. That being said, we had a nice meal and everyone left happy. We’ll be back again.
    Atmosphere cafe + etc.Responded on October 5, 2024
    Thanks for taking the time to leave a review Jer. Yes, that was her second shift, and she's great! We're happy to hear that you all enjoyed your starters and most of your mains, if ever the veg (or anything on the meal) seems not quite up to standard, just let your server know, and they can communicate with the kitchen to fix things up. We're looking forward to next time, and making sure that every aspect of the meal hits the mark!

    First time visiting Atmosphere Cafe and was delicious! Lunch was salmon on a bagel and my friend had chicken taco both with house salad. Definitely recommend. Server was friendly and helpful.

    Great to hear Vincent, the jerk chicken tacos have been a popular staple on the menu for quite some time, can never go wrong with the salmon either!

    We had a great experience! Our waitress was outstanding and very helpful without being over bearing. The food was fantastic - we would go again in a heartbeat. We had between us all 2 pizzas, the salmon and burger. We also had the shrimp , oysters and crocchette starter. The cheesecake was light and fluffy for dessert! All were delicious!

    Thank you Sandra, all excellent things to hear. Looks like you guys hit all the right spots on the menu, the shrimp is always one of our best selling appetizers, and Chef Shawn's cheesecake always has people coming back for more!
