First time Meeter to Meet on Main for a birthday party. Was pretty intimidated but equally excited by the packed out the door clientele - which is often a good sign that this food is where it's at. Put our reso in and hung out at a nearby coffee shop for the notification text. Once in and seated we had a wonderful server. Friendly, supportive, informative. Even when there was a mix up with an order she went over the moon and back to make it right and then proceeded to surprise us with an unforgettably delicious and fun experience. The food and atmosphere are fantastic but our service was AMAZING (My recommendation? Order all the desserts) read more

First time here & everything we tried was AMAZING! Cauliflower bites & cornbread appies - thumbs up! Great decor, comfy for a couple, but tables big enough to easily accommodate bigger groups. Even my usually meat eating hubby was more than happy. Gave 4 stars instead of 5 for service; somewhat inattentive, didn't take our drink orders (we had to specifically ask for them) or give us utensils (had to go to the bar to get them ourselves). Realistically tho, sadly not that uncommon/out of the norm for the hipster Main St area..... Food was so good that we'll be back! read more

Solid 3.5 stars. While not a hardcore vegetarian, I like the vibe of these places, maybe more so for this neighbourhood area. Cool place to chill and reasonable prices. Ordered the sweet & sour cauliflower which was way too salty---I already washed down a glass of water before their infamous burger arrived. Fries were amazing. Friendly service. Date worthy, casual. read more

I love coming to this cozy restaurant! They have tons of vegan/veg burger, bowls, salads, appetizers and dessert options. I could comfortably say that they make the best fries in Vancouver! My other favourites here are the veggie chowder (thick, delicious, and loaded with veggies without being heavy) and their deep fried banana with ice cream (what a satisfying finish to a hearty meal)! Can't wait to try their other soups and desserts! read more

Super casual and yummy vegan restaurant! They've got tons of great dishes to choose from. Appys, salads, burgers, desserts and more. I usually get one of the bowls, which is full of quinoa, tofu, and tons of veggies. I've always received great service here, everyone is really friendly and nice! I just wish that all the tables weren't so close together, and that they offered a vegan tomato juice! I always crave bloody Mary's when I'm here... read more

We made the pilgrimmage to Vancouver's most loved Vegan restaurant over the weekend, Meet On Main. It was my first time there, believe it or not! It was honestly overwhelming to just be able to pick anything on the menu. Normally you just have to search for a veggie burger or get a salad without any of the fun stuff on it. But at Meet, you can have anything!! It took me so long to decide what to have. First I thought about the Hot Chiggin' Caesar, which is a vegan caesar salad with buffalo coated "chicken" on top, because Husband told me he was getting a burger, so I knew I could sneak a bite. But THEN he decided to get the Noodle-y Thai, so I panicked and ordered the Angry Burger. It was so freakin' delicious. And it comes with fries AND salad, which honestly every restaurant should get on board with. We had my mother-in-law with us as well, and she got the Mac & Cheese. The Angry Burger is a deep-fried burger patty, covered in hot sauce, with guacamole. Yup. That is a thing you can order. Holy crap, it was amazing. But I felt like I had eaten a softball afterwards, that's what happens when you eat 99% vegetables, and then literally eat a deep-fried burger haha. I ended up taking half home with me for later. I tried a bite of my husband's Noodle-y Thai as well. To be honest, I wish I had ordered that instead. It was so yummy! But I always get a noodle stir fry every where I go, so I thought I'd be different. Stick to what you love people! I also snagged a bite of my mother-in-law's Mac & Cheese, which was also super yummy! It has a hint of curry in it, and was soooooo creamy. I should note also, that the portions are gigantic at Meet, we ALL took home leftovers. All in all, I highly recommend dining at Meet on Main, it is exactly what it says it is: Veggie Comfort Food. Arrive hungry! read more

Let's meet on main... Now I don't usually venture so far up Main but after a long day of antique shopping how bad could a few more city blocks be and on a plus the parking gets cheaper the further you are from city centre. Upon arriving are very friendly server greeted my friend and I sat us in the perfect spot (The Window) as I am an average people watcher this is prime seating real estate for me. We had just finished off some very delicious smoothies so too the appy menu we ventured. We orders the Hummus,Kale Salad with cashew gravy,and the funniest and unpronounceable food for a girl with dyslexia "Chiggin" see photo below. The food came fast and even though this Meat eater wasn't satisfied in the protein department it was all delicious. It's a great place for a first date or late lunch and I'd highly recommend getting your hands on some good Ol' Chiggin Bon Appetit ----Vancity Gypsy read more

Ordered takeout online to the Main Street location. I arrived a little early and my order was done right when I got there which was awesome! Love ordering online and picking up. Makes it so convenient. I ordered the ginger beef bowl and it was awesome. I've ordered a few times and everything I've gotten has been amazing. My sister is vegetarian and this is the #1 place she asks for. Definitely one of the regular go tos!! read more

I am posting a review after a 3rd visit and yet another very tasty meal. My first visit was in October of 2018 and I had the Mucho Gusto burger. Black bean patty, tasty fries and very flavourful. Second time was the best out of the three. Had the Seoul Bowl. It seemed like every bite of this bowl was full of flavour and texture. It comes with vegan chikkin, kimchi, kale and other veggies topped over brown rice. Very addictive. Crunchy, and just lovely. My third visit was a Meet Burger. A little less flamboyant than the Mucho Gusto but the mushroom based patty is very succulent and was better than the black bean patty. My kids tried the Poutines and said it was better than some other regular non-vegan poutines out there. (Sorry we aren't vegans) Service was quite good three times. Price is not bad considering its a bit of specialty shop serving very fresh food in a bit of a trendy area. I would like to try some of the other bowls and will be back for sure. read more

Talk about delicious vegetarian food! Love this place for that very reason. Came here around 9 on a Tuesday not busy at all. Mountain burger was tasty with fries and salad! Salad was colourful but lacking in dressing. The burger was topped with chili and surprisingly was not that messy. Flavours were vibrant and excellence! Would love to come back again. read more

MeeT on Main - Mountain burger - Comfort Food Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

We randomly picked this place last night and I'm so glad we did! Luckily the waiting was short (4 ppl, 9pm on a Saturday) and we got seated right by the window. Being pretty hungry we decided to get the sweet-chili cauliflower to start with before getting to the hard part of deciding what else to get. I went for the Mac n Cheeze Burger. Say what?? Mac n cheeze and onion rings on a burger? Yeah right. I HAD to try it! After the first bite I was in heaven! The cauliflowers were to die for. I could have easily just stuffed myself with another couple plates of these but I had a giant burger with a mountain of fries and a side salad coming up! The burger, again, was amazing! The patty almost a bit to "meaty" and the fries I couldn't even finish. My wife had the Macro Bowl which apparently left some room for my fries. We were all very satisfied with the food (2 vegans, 2 omnivores), the service was great, prices very reasonable and the ambience exactly what we were looking for. I can recommend this place to anyone and will definitely return on my next trip to Vancouver. read more

Great food and a fun place to be. Everything taste great and prepared nicely. They also have a bunch of different liquor. On top of all that, nothing is overpriced. Go for: perfectly priced food, flavourful dishes, if you don't eat meat (or even if you do) Don't go for: meat, private or quiet seating read more

My wife and I were brought by my vegan son out for lunch on a weekend. I'm not a vegetarian and not crazy about what I've tried. Place definitely has kind of a hipster vibe, but friendly enough with varied customers. Service was friendly. We got the artichoke spinach dip, which was good. My wife liked it more than I did. IMO, it isn't close to as good as the "real" stuff. I got the Main Burger with poutine. I didn't upgrade the patty to the "beyond meat" patty, but the regular one they had was alright. The bun looked good, but vegetarians still haven't gotten a great handle on breads etc. I didn't love the condiments. The poutine was "goodish". The fries were excellent, while the gravy/cheese part was fine .. but won't replace the real stuff anytime soon. For a drink I got the craft root beer which was something that you can get from Save-on-foods. I don't care for it myself .. I'd much rather have mug or A&W root beer. As a non vegetarian I have gotten to the point where I don't dread going to a vegetarian restaurant, but I'm definitely not going to be a regular customer. That being said, the place and staff were nice and this kind of place seems to be fairly popular. read more

I was so happy to find a hip vegan place in Vancouver! The menu was full of bowls, salads, burgers and desserts. It gets busy fast, so try to get there right when they open. We'll be trying this place again soon. read more

I came here to celebrate my birthday and loved the food. We shared the cauliflower and the Butter Chicken Poutine. We also all ordered our own burgers, which everyone seemed to be happy with! The drinks were all pretty good as well. I loved how fresh the mojito was. It was on the more expensive side, but the portions are big especially for the poutine. I give this place a four stars because we arrived about 80-90 minutes before we were sat when we were initially told 30 to 45. Having worked as a host, i get that it's difficult to gauge at times, but that's pretty far off and it took forever to even get water once we actually got in, so that was a bit frustrating. read more

Summer 2015. After a long day walking and wandering around Vancouver, I stopped at Meet on Main for some vegan very late lunch. That little place idd not disappoint! The decor is very nice and welcoming. The waiter was warm and patient. And the food was delicious! As I was eating my bowl of chili and my grilled cheese (vegan) sandwich I forgot I was eating vegan. And look at those French fries! Yum! read more

I'm not a vegetarian, and my experience here is actually a funny one because when my friends and I came here one time we had no idea it was a vegetarian restaurant - we had been walking around Gastown trying to find a place to eat at and we thought this place looked cute. Like I said, I'm not a vegetarian and when our food came, I was shocked to discover that the portobello burger that I had ordered had no meat in it because it tasted so darn good! We were pleasantly surprised by both the quality of food and service we were given. We also ordered t deep fried BBQ cauliflower to share and I loved that as well. I thought it was delicious and it actually tasted like chicken wings lol. I would definitely order that again and I'd definitely come back/recommend to other friends of this place. read more

I really like the food here. It's really good. I went to there with three friends, we wait outside for 25 mins. Finally we came in. After we order what we want... Almost 30 mins later ... The fist appetizer was here ... I keep taking with my friends because I brought them to here , I want them enjoy the dinner, not be mad with the service . But the food was tooooooooooooo slow ! And no one tell us that our food need to wait, or say sorry to us. After 40 mins later , our food were finally here ! We ate 15 mins then finish all the dishes. My friends were mad ... I tell them here are the best veg restaurant in Vancouver, and they believe me, yeah the food are great and We really like the food. But We don't want to wait that long!! I feel so bad to brought them to there and keep them wait soooo long and the service were terrible! read more

This place is going downhill fast; every time we go in we get less customer service and more disappointing food. Server was terrible but that is not an issue as she served us before and we knew what to expect! Our mains took one hour to be served! ONE HOUR! Every table who sat after us was eating and we waited like idiots starving. Food was also mediocre. Appies had the usual chewy soy texture, smothered in greasy sauce to save the taste. My K bowl was so salty, could barely eat it and got charged extra $2 for quinoa although server made it sound like an option, not like an extra. I gave it 2 stars because the burger tasted ok and it's the only thing on the menu I will get if I will ever be back. Bye meet on main! read more

Okay so I was skeptical about vegan food as it's not good most of the time to a non vegan, but the food here is actually pretty good. The prices are a bit on the more expensive side of reasonable. The inside is dark and the wait for 4 was about 25 minutes. I had one of the burgers and it was just too big of a portion for me in a good way. read more

Had the Meet burger, three stars had the deep fried cauliflower, four stars. Great dish. Service is three stars....for not noticing we were there and no cutlery or napkins..and for asking if its ok to bring our main before our appetizer. Decor = University student "fancy" with a roommate combination of 1 food security/farming student from campbell river, 1 antique roadshow watching recreational beacher from Ontario, and 1 artist (needy). read more

I first tried Meet a few years ago the food was great until I found a very red hair in my food, situation was handled by the server but it really turned me off. Fast forward to tonight to me giving this place a second chance my friend found a hair in her food as well. What's with all the hair guys?! This turned off everyone at our table although we had a good chuckle about the consistency. Our service was alright, kind but a bit underwhelming and I felt that if gratuity is being added to a bill (which is totally fine as they stated they do with bigger tables) then I expect that this is reflected in the service. Maybe they were under staffed? Not sure at all but this recurring hair in food experience and the underwhelming service is a good reason I won't be back to this location. Also, what's up with the lack of cutlery? I almost ate my dessert with a knife due to the lack of spoons. Not sure if it's related at all but two people from our party went home quite early stating that they felt quite sick after eating. PROS : Excellent selection of food, the salad I ate was delicious, and the mac and cheese I tried years ago was wonderful as well. Refreshing and interesting drinks! read more

Perfect dining experience at this location. I was visiting Vancouver for a work event and thanks to Yelp, had an amazing dinner here. We started the meal with the Buffalo Chiggin Wings. It was divine. Perfect blend of tangy, savory and a hint of sweetness. The 'Wings' were made crispy on the outside and chewy on inside. Wow. I got the Beet Salad which was light and very fresh. I would recommend it for a lunch or light dinner but if you're hungry or craving something more savory, I highly recommend The Macro (made with local tofu, rice etc). The Macro bowl is a slice of heaven. Never had a more satisfying and healthy meal. Can't believe everything was Vegan! Our servers were very friendly and made us feel welcome at this neighborhood gem. read more

Rarely will you find MeeT empty -- an arbitrary indicator of popularity if you care about that -- as the vegan food is of high quality with solid portions. After multiple visits, some with Vegans, others with the "oh but you need animal protein to survive cohort", 90% of guests would recommend the restaurant for its all-inclusive, varying menu. My test for a good restaurant is whether I could replicate the dishes and/or be willing to create the dishes, and I could not with the same flavors. Personally a big fan of the Macro bowl or the Meet burger, but most friends are content with the selection of poutines and the Mighty Mac. Good quality food is good quality food, and whether you're vegan or not you will be satisfied read more

Meet On Main is a vegetarian restaurant/bar on Main Street. We had the Mac and Cheese burger, the Lovely Bowl and sweet cauliflower. The food was ok. My gf couldn't eat the cauliflower... Too much sauce so she kind of got grossed out from it. We both liked the burger (it almost tastes like meat! Hahhaha) and the Lovely Bowl! I just think this place is too loud! The music is turned up too loud causing people to have to shout to communicate! I like restaurants that are quiet enough to carry on a good conversation. It's one of the main purposes of going out to eat... To socialize and communicate with people! read more

We go here at least once a week. I love this place. We try to taste something different every time but keep getting our favs. This place has my favourite fries. So the fries here topped with anything are amazing. Their Pad Thai, YUMM. Probably the BEST I've had in Vancouver! I brought my non vegan friends and everyone enjoyed it. No need to be vegan to go here. There is something on the menu for every taste buds. Enjoy! read more

With a daughter who is vegan, eating out is sometimes a challenge. Most restaurants have limited vegan offerings (if any) while a lot of vegan/vegetarian places leave omnivores craving more. Meet on Main is the answer to your dreams! It's vegan and therefore safe for anyone not consuming animal products, AND it's so scrumptious and filling that it satisfies even your most devout meat eater. The vegan proteins are both delicious and satisfying! My daughter swears by the Mac and "cheese" while I love the El Fab bowl with guacamole. The little mountain of fries is gigantic. Service is excellent: friendly and prompt, just the right amount of attentiveness. Come early as it gets busy for lunch. read more

My friend and I got on the waitlist and headed over to the Jasmine Halal place across the street while we waited. MoM sent us a text to say that we were up soon and we headed back to grab our table. Great service to send a text message so we didn't just have to wait around. We enjoyed the nacho fries and the Double Double burger with an upgrade to the Kale salad. Please note that a burger platter usually comes with a bit of fries and salad, but when you upgrade to the larger salad portion, you don't get any fries. Keep that in mind so you don't get disappointed that no fries are present. (the fries on the customer next to us looked really tempting!) Service was fast, food got to us quickly, food was yummy, and staff were friendly. read more

Food is great. Friendly staff. Ordered 1 appetizer, drinks and 4 mains for a family of 5 (2 adults and 3 young children) our appetizer and drinks arrived quickly. We had to wait approximately 1 hour for our main dishes. During this time I witnessed a lot of take out deliveries being brought to the front while our table and others were waiting for their meals. Our server came to our table to apologize for the inconvenience. He also mentioned that take out meals were their main priority. At the end our server gave us complimentary drinks and desserts. Why have a dine in option if your focus is take out? read more

Absolutely awful. Staff were incredibly inattentive and it felt like razor blades were dicing my guts within minutes of leaving. Macaroni and Cheese was dreadfully bland and the pasta tasted stale. Only saving grace was the mushrooms. Never again. read more

One of our favorite restaurant discoveries in Vancouver. Delicious, creative vegetarian heaven with an extensive menu.

I really liked it here! The interior is cozy and they were playing good music. Service was friendly and fairly quick. I had the Big Yum bowl which was delicious - tempeh, yam, edamame, brown rice, corn, cabbage, etc! Also a huge portion - ended up being two full meals for me! My friend had a burger which he said was great. They had lots of gluten-free options for celiacs and seem to understand how to prepare the dishes without cross-contamination. Definitely a great spot! read more

I have given Meet on Main (and the sister restaurant Meet in Gastown) three chances now and have left underwhelmed each time. Today I shared the Chiggin Wings and also ordered the BBQ burger with kale caesar salad. The burger was just okay (dry, weird after taste) and I only ate three bites of the salad. The caesar dressing was a not a rich, garlicky, "can't believe it's vegan" dressing I've had at other veggie places. My boyfriend ordered the mucho gusto burger which fell apart before he took a bite ... very messy and unappetizing looking. All the tables were full for lunch today so others must have better experiences but I will likely not be back. read more
