Symposium Cafe Restaurant Markham

A lovely restaurant, nice and warm on entry and the greeting was even better. Ordered take out, and Gary invited me to sit down and gave me a free drink while I was waiting. Great atmosphere and the food was delightful. Will certainly come back for a return visit!

We came as a group of 6. My husband and I ordered the dinner for two ($69.95) which includes an entree for each person, one appetizer to share, one dessert to share and two drinks for each person. We both ordered the 10oz New York steak which were cooked well and tender. The bruschetta appetizer was also big and flavorful. For dessert we ordered the waffle with banana and berries and Nutella sauce. Our friends and we are very pleased with the food quality, service of the waitstaff and the reasonable price of this dinner. We will return.

Always a Delight! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Never disappoints! The food is fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented—whether it's their all-day breakfast, comforting mains, or decadent desserts. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make every visit feel special. Perfect for a casual brunch or a relaxing dinner, it's become my go-to spot. Highly recommend!

We went as a big group and sat outside at the patio. Sever was good she did come to us and was able to fix things along the way. Food took a while to come, I had seafood pasta and the spinach eggs . The rest of the group got brunch items. I think the biggest gripe was the overall service since there were some errors in the food and the time it took for the food to come.

Very welcoming atmosphere, large bar area & very spacious outdoor patio. Above all, very friendly attentive staff. Big shoutout to ‘Chinju’ again who made our dining experience most excellent. Today we all had the BBQ Chicken Cob Salad and it was excellent. The main reason we come to this location is the Huge portions of tasty dishes at reasonable prices. Check out their new Early Bird Breakfast Specials for $11.45 & their new Daily Lunch Specials for $13.95. Lots of free parking.

Had a pleasant experience at Symposium. Their service was exceptional and the seating was comfortable. Love the large windows at the restaurant - provided adequate lighting to the venue. Their food is decent - Symposium Burger was okay, but the salmon on the salad bowl tasted a bit bland. The restaurant is kid-friendly and offers a beautiful patio overlooking Majormack. Place is perfect for hanging out with friends for drinks.

So, my husband and I used to go to this location all the time (we preferred it over the one on Yonge). We took our toddler yesterday for dinner and unfortunately, was very disappointed. I ordered the Thai chicken thighs and a slaw and rice, while my husband ordered their petite steak au jus with veggies and rice. My toddler ordered off thr kids menu -- chicken tender with fries. First off, I'd like to say that our server was fantastic -- he was patient and welcoming with our son, and tended to our needs very well! The food -- it was such a disappointment. Good tasting food begins with quality ingredients, and from tasting the first bite, you can tell the proteins were frozen (not that it really matters), but we both could take freezer burn. Their Thai chicken thighs was supposed to have a peanut sauce -- it honestly was a slab of thick, terrible consistency peanut sauce which was not flavored well at all. My husband's steak au jus was inedible. We both ended up eating the basmati rice (which was okay), and his steamed veggies. My slaw was literally cabbage slices with slices of pickles. I'm not sure where in Thailand they would consider that a pickled slaw, but we were both thoroughly disappointed. The appetizer (calamari) was okay. My toddler enjoyed his fries, but he only had two small bites of his chicken tenders and said it was too tough to eat. Although we took advantage of their Thursday two can dine special, our overall bill came to just about $100, and honestly, restaurateurs should really think about how difficult it is for families to make a living and spend 100 on an evening out to only be disappointed.

Our first time trying this restaurant for breakfast, love the beautiful decor & atmosphere. Tables are not closed to each other, so spacious. We enjoyed our own space. Staff are very welcoming. We ordered the early bird breakfast that included coffee. Food are standard breakfast taste, omelette was a bit overcooked though. Overall, We enjoyed our visit at Symposium Restaurant Markham.
