We are happy to support local and our group of five adults (ages between 31 and 93) chose this restaurant for our monthly family dinner out. The ambiance was wonderful, with soft lighting and comfortable seating throughout. Our waitress, Elise, was the perfect hostess and provided valuable advice on menu options, to include portion sizes. Our table menu choices included: the black tiger shrimp; the Garde Manger charcuterie, a superfood salad, and two different artisan pizzas. The availability of vegan options, including menu ingredient substitutions, was well received. A variety of desserts prevailed, with the highlight being a Bailey's-like Crème Brulé (the BEST one I've had to date). We all agreed that we will happily return to this restaurant in the future.

Phenomenally fantastic food. Really exceptional. The service is very friendly and accommodating. Lovely restaurant.

Have been trying for sometime to take my wife to this restaurant and finally able to on our 25th Anniversary. The food was beyond what you normally experience when dining out and the service from our three servers was nothing short of exceptional. We will definitely be repeat customers.
Lise Anne
The pesto cranberry goat cheese pizza, yhe rotini with zucchini and ricotta and the sticky toffee pudding were all delicious. We love how consistently good this place is. Nice cheerful staff, too. Don't get Joel talking about football (lol)
Barbara
The service is outstanding and the ambiance is lovely. The food is delicious- best arctic char ever with a tomato mango salsa. Super cocktails also. Our go to restaurant in downtown Guelph.
Laura-Lee
Had a lovely dinner with friends. A small issue with one plate, but the chef made a new one pretty quickly and Mitch reflected it on our bill. Will definitely be back.
Amber
Our server was fantastic and really made our meal experience great. She was attentive and helpful with our questions. The patio was beautiful especially with the sound of the fountain !

Great night out on the patio! The video screen with music was a beautiful touch. Pizza and pasta were top-notch, and the drinks were very refreshing. The patio has a nice view of the city hall water fountain across the street.
Loved this place! The chef adjusted my lunch to accommodate my food allergies and the server was awesome. Everything tasted just as I hoped for and they happen to have a really good low-alcohol beer. It was a perfect summer lunch.

We haven’t been here for years but we’re so happy we went back because it was great. The food, the patio, the staff, was all excellent. It’s one of the best patios in Guelph right now. We decided to get a few appetizers for our dinner so we could try the great options and everything was delicious. It’s a great place for couples or families and we will dine here again for sure.

Date of Visit: SATURDAY JUNE 21, 2025 A Relaxed Downtown Guelph Gem We spent a lovely afternoon at Atmosphere Café, perched on their patio overlooking the splash pad at Guelph City Hall—a perfect spot for people-watching and soaking up the downtown vibe. We ordered two of their thin-crust pizzas: the Spinach Cranberry, which was a surprisingly tasty mix of sweet and savoury, and the Chicken Artichoke, which was rich, flavorful, and satisfying. Paired with a cold draft beer, it made for a laid-back and delicious lunch. The drink menu had a solid selection of local brews, and the vibe was casual but polished—ideal for a weekend bite or a relaxed evening out. What really stood out was our exceptional server, who was friendly, attentive, and genuinely engaging. They made the experience feel personal and welcoming. Overall, Atmosphere Café delivers on its name—offering great food, a great setting, and great service. Relaxed Downtown Guelph Gem
