The University of Guelph Hospitality Services webpage enlists all off campus restaurants that accept the student meal plan as a form of payment. Each restaurant which accepts the student meal plan is easily accessible for customers and further information can be derived from their online menus, homepages, or by phone call.

This is a list of the off campus restaurants that accept the student cards:

While the aforementioned restaurants enable students to utilize their meal plans, the website Grub Canada enlists all food providers that deliver in Guelph. Many students do not have access to cars and rely on their food being delivered to their residences or homes. Grub Canada caters to students by including the restaurant’s operating, as well as delivery hours, location and phone number. [5]

Eating off campus is made easy for University of Guelph students, as many restaurants include delivery services or accept meal plans. Restaurants in Guelph recognize the importance of accommodating the local University’s student body.
