We've been in Guelph for 8 years, and despite the profusion of new restaurants, this has always remained one of our favorites, and we go just about weekly. I'm always amazed how Lisa can serve so many tables on a busy Saturday with such friendliness and efficiency! My husband almost always orders the ribs (one of the best anywhere) and... more
Ging and Lisa and their staff go above and beyond to create delicious meals with great service.
Always a winner!
The last time I ate here with my husband it was Dec 2013 and so I don't remember what we ate exactly! (I am going here tonite with my girlfriends so I was just checking online, out of curiousity). Anyhow, when I went here before it was superb and just like being in someone's cosy kitchen--the food was fantastic. If... more
Living in Guelph for over 11 years now, I have always walked by this place but never went in.. I don't know why. That was until last week my friend invited me out for lunch, and I was pleasantly surprised!
The food was truly delicious -- we both had a glass of wine (Fairly priced, decent pour) and I had...

So nice to see a couple working hard to make a restaurant a success.....& succeeding. Had a great lunch there today. Wonderful homemade soups & sandwiches. Homemade falafels. Caesar salad was huge & amazing. Wonderful thin cut sweet potato fries. Did not try the dessert but list on the Board looked amazing. Will happily return again.
Never had a bad dinner yet and I've been here a number of times over the years. Small but superb. No rush up leave, would recommend to anyone.
Love the food, too bad it isn't a little larger, as it can be filled to capacity quickly.
Service is friendly and knowledgeable. Love that you can see the chef cooking!
My husband and I had dinner (courtesy of gift cert) at Friends in our Kitchen Friday evening. We normally go to the keg for steak but thought we would use our old gift certificate for this retaurant. Well......very happy we did. The small restaurant with the most awesome food. I ordered the beef tenderloin and my husband ordered the veal... more
Wonderful food, cooked right there in an open kitchen. The menu changes daily, suitable to the time of year and whatever….
The service is excellent. Open at lunchtime and then closed till dinner, thus the confusion about the hours.
The best soup, best fish, best desserts! I have never been disappointed.
Friends in Our Kitchen is a longstanding Guelph tradition, and a great one!
Food was well prepared and presented.
Servings weren't huge.
The bundle of vegetables was at the perfect place between too crisp and too soft.
BUT: the sauces were way way too salty.
Anyone that likes a lot of salt can trivially add more to their dish,
but for the rest of us, removing the salt wasn't an option.
I have ate here at least half a dozen times for take out at lunch. I generally order the same thing everytime...Veggie Roll and a Caesar Salad. It is excellent. Made from scratch and very tasty. The owner does most of the cooking and I find him fairly pleasant. He is usually extremely busy behind the counter preparing and cooking... more
My husband and I visited this little restaurant this past weekend (Jan/ 10). We stumbled upon it in our travels. I ordered the lamb shank and my husband ordered the ribs. We shared a litre of wine, and shared a dessert. Our bill came to 70.00 before tip.
My lamb was "out of this world", and my husband really enjoyed...

It's OK ~ very small and impersonal... but food OK.
A very nice, cozy restaurant that offers a unique variety of foods. A "conscious" eatery.
Probably one of the funniest places in Guelph. Totally family run, hardly ever open. Food is ok, at best.
