    The new scallop dish on the menu is delicious! As per usual we had the black tiger shrimp which never disappoints! The beef shank was so tender and the cheesecake was over the top! Never disappointed at Atmosphere! Service was great!

    Reservation was for the patio. Excellent set up and enjoyed the outside atmosphere. The service on Sunday was outstanding. Everyone we ate was also outstanding. Highly recommended this restaurant.

    It was a cold & rainy afternoon but was a perfect opportunity to reunite with a friend. We ordered two different gf pizzas & a salad to share. It was delicious & we got to sample more of the menu. We made a change to the menu without any fuss from staff. All in all, a perfect lunch!

    Our Mother’s Day Brunch at Atmosphere Café was wonderful. The service, food and drinks were all excellent and the sticky toffee pudding was delicious and the perfect way to end the meal. This is my family’s favourite place to eat in Guelph and it never disappoints. We’ll definitely be back!

    Amazing as always! We had our usual order of Black Tiger shrimp! 😋 My husband had Osso Bucco which was delicious! I had the Pear & Arugula salad for the first time! It was so good with an awesome dressing! And of course we had the cheesecake with cherries and chocolate sauce! Best cheesecake I’ve ever had! The service was fantastic as always! Thank you for a wonderful dinner!
