Creelman, The Bullring, and many more
The options are seemingly endless at the University of Guelph, which should be no surprise considering the university has been among the top schools awarded for their culinary expertise for close to a decade. Your taste buds are in good company here. When moving to university, it is crucial to find new places you like spending time, and adapting to campus meals is a big part of that. Within a few months, you will become more and more familiar with the places you like to eat at on campus. This article will give you the low-down on some of the best spots.
Creelman Hall
Looking for selection for any meal of the day? Creelman may just be your best bet. The hall itself is beautiful and open; it is a nice place to unwind and have a meal with friends. There are always daily specials no matter what kind of food you are interested in, and the choices will surely not disappoint. My favourite as an undergrad was the pizza and quesadilla station, where you can choose your favourite toppings to satisfy your taste buds.
The Bullring
The Bullring is known around campus as “your on-campus living room,” which is perfectly suiting. The eatery that actually used to be a Bullring, then a campus pub and dance hall, has become legendary in its culinary pursuits. The Bullring is student-run and has some of the best-tasting food you’ll find on campus. It is the perfect place to spend some time, enjoy some tasty treats, and have a beverage or two or some Planet Bean Coffee.
The University Centre
The University Centre (UC) is also home to some tasty grub. There are some recognizable chain fast food restaurants, but the UC also has options for vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free eaters, among many others. The UC also hosts three coffee shops for those early mornings and long days spent on campus. There are two restaurants in the UC, as well: The Brass Taps on the second floor, which serves pub fare and has a selection of draft beer, and The Grad Lounge on the fifth floor.
Other locations on campus include cafeterias located in Lennox/Addington (LA Pit), Prairie and Mountain Halls, and quick stop locations spread throughout the academic buildings. All of these also have excellent options for you to ensure you don’t go hungry while enjoying your years of study.
