Symposium Cafe
Symposium Cafe Restaurant & Lounge is a restaurant chain in the Province of Ontario,[1] which serves as an all-day restaurant, café, and bar.[2] The first restaurant was founded in 1996[3][4] in the City of London by the Bill and Terry Argo. They began franchising in 2004, and had thirty locations as of the end of 2017.[5] That year the company received the Franchisor of the Year (Traditional Franchises) from the Canadian Franchise Association Awards of Excellence.[6] Services it provides include dine-in, take-out, and catering,[7] focusing on continental and European food.[8] The décor of locations also reflects the art and culture of the Mediterranean region.[9][10]
