Symposium Cafe Restaurant & Lounge

Friendly knowledgeable waitress. She had tasted the dishes we were considering. She provided advice and recommendations that proved to be helpful. Food was good. Prices reasonable.

Great place for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
Where else can you get a very good, complete breakfast for 2 for well under 20 bucks (taxes and tip included) if you order from the early bird menu.
We also tried their 5 dollar burger special on Mondays. Again, awesome value as you get an 8 ounce burger perfectly done, and now they sell wings which were very good too.
Pints were only 5 bucks too (can't complain about that!)
The service is always prompt and friendly from all the staff that we encounter.
The owner Julie is also very nice and friendly.
We enjoy going there very much!

Absolutely phenomenal experience here at Symposium Barrie! Staff was very accommodating and delightful. I have never felt so welcomed at an establishment before! Food was absolutely outstanding, as a food critic I was flabbergasted at the explosion of flavor and found that experience to be refreshing and rejuvenating. The salads were a breath of fresh air and their burgers, both affordable and a symphony of flavor. Let me say, if anyone desires to eat mesmerizing food that will honestly give them a purpose in life, Symposium Barrie is THE way to go.

This is one of my favourite places to go! I love their daily specials especially the fish and chips. It's affordable for a student! You get high-quality food for a low price! Their service is great as well and the place is very welcoming!! :) Definitely recommend this place for everyone!!

I took a few customers to this restaurant at their recommendation. I'm glad I agreed because it was a very nice evening in a lovely restaurant. The staff were all very knowledgeable about the various cuts of meat and advised what would be most suitable for all our party based on what each person wanted. The whole team were very attentive and pleasant. The steaks and sides were all amazing. I will be back next time I come to Barrie
