Meet on Main = vegan/vegetarian/gluten free bar food. The beer-battered cauliflower with tamarind chili-ginger glaze is delish. I'd come back to this restaurant specifically for them! If you're not a fan of sweet sauces, this dish won't be for you. The churro rice pudding balls are also quite good; however, they're incredibly overpriced. $6 for two quarter-sized balls is not worth it. I would not suggest getting the romaine and kale caesar salad at Meet on Main. The kale could use more "massaging," the croutons are soggy pieces of white bread, and the dressing is rather plain. Heirloom Vegetarian Restuarant has a far tastier version of a caesar with cornbread croutons and a mouth-watering dressing. read more

It was a normal gloomy rainy Tuesday night for most, but an unforgettable birthday for my mother-in-law, thanks to the hospitality of the Meet on Main staff. We have always taken my mom-in-law to vegetarian restaurants for her birthdays because she has been strictly vegetarian for decades. This year, we wanted to try something new. We tried calling ahead of time to make a reservation, but they wouldn't take any, so we arrived to the restaurant and prepared to wait. But not in this way. About 5-10 mins after taking our names down, while we were quietly waiting inside the restaurant, the hostess came to us and demanded that we should wait OUTSIDE THE RESTAURANT. Our party includes an 85 year old and a very pregnant me and therefore my husband asked if the rest of the party can wait outside while the old and the preggo can stay inside away from the rain. The reply was a rude "No". Needless to say, we are forced to go elsewhere. Grandma's insulin injection is kicking in. I used to think that people became vegetarians for 2 main reasons: 1) they believe that it is healthier or 2) they are too kind to slaughter animals. What kind of people would ask an 85 year old and a pregnant woman to wait outside in the rain? Being a vegetarian is a choice, it is a lifestyle, it is a promise to be healthy, caring and kind, to oneself, to Earth, to humanity. I expect the believes of a vegetarian restaurant to be the same. It is not only about how great your food are, but also about how you treat your customers, and your role in the community. read more

This is one of THE BEST vegan restaurants in Vancouver. I'm not even vegan and I still would pick this over many other restaurants. Their cauliflower appetizer is insanely good- you can't even taste the cauliflower. I always get the mac and cheese because I'm lactose intolerant and this tastes just like regular mac and cheese but better!! It's so creamy and there's just a hint of a nutty flavor. Sometimes I'll get the mac and cheese and butter chicken together and it's amazing! The two dishes really compliment each other and although with the butter chicken you don't get that chicken taste exactly, it's still very good. I love the ambience of the restaurant and the service is always impeccable. I go with my friends about every 2 weeks and we haven't gotten tired of it yet! read more

The boyfriend and I went for lunch today. We had the chilli cheese fries and the cauliflower bites which were both super tarty and filling. The house made ginger beer he ordered was really good and I liked that I could get a kombucha with my meal. We also have picked up deliveries from Vegan Supply from both the Main and Gastown locations. The staff are always super prompt and friendly. If I could suggest anything to make this place better it would be a third location on Commercial so we could visit more often! read more

First time here. Just wanted to find a place to eat. This place was packed and I didn't mind waiting. The food is a burgers and salads place. Ordered the bacon cheese burger and red beet salad and a poutine. Tips - don't order poutine plus burger. There was way too much fries to finish and fries just too salty. Good thing I had the salad too. Just poutine on its own is enough. read more

I thought everything I tried was very flavourful. It's definitely rich plant based food. If you want comfort food, this place can deliver it. We started with fries with a side of cashew gravy and the sweet Chili cauliflower bites. They were delicious. I had the butter chiken (my friends got the ginger beefless bowl, Seoul bowl and a burger). I loved my dish and the people who got bowls enjoyed their meals. The burger was a miss for my friend due to the texture of the onions? We finished off with the chocolate tart which was very coconutty. Will definitely come back to try other things! read more

We live down the street and really wanted to try this place. We have heard great things and we're eager to go. We finally went on a whim and was surprised to see many familiar faces in the restaurant! So we get a table and are amazed with how the place looks and the food looks and smells awesome. Sadly we left! Why? Service! There was none. We waited nearly 20 minutes! We finally left because the people next to us whom had arrived 5 minutes ago was getting their order taken! We will give it another try. Until then, please take care that all your customers get your attention. Service is what brings people back :) We spoke with our friends that have been and they say the same. They waited a long time to get waited :( read more

While I'm a dedicated carnivore, walking past and seeing what the folks in the window were eating made me want to stop. It was Saturday night, but we didn't have to wait too long for a table. The service was good - friendly and attentive. And most importantly, the food was fantastic. We shared the sweet chilli cauliflower which was well-cooked (tender but not mushy) with a very flavourful sauce. Then we shared 2 burgers - The angry burger and the mac & cheese burger. My only complaint was that it made me want a whole order of the mac & cheese, which was really quite remarkable given that it's all veg. I'm not from Vancouver, but next time I'm in town I'll definitely come back. read more

Great food and vibe! Friendly staff and quick service. Have been here twice already and can't get enough of the Angry burger. The buffalo sauce is amazing. Definitely a great place regardless if you're vegetarian or not the food is delicious. read more

Not sure what the hype is. The burger was disappointing,. The "wings" were good. Very interesting texture. However nothing result stood out. The flavours weren't that great. I've definitely had better elsewhere. read more

Healthy? Everything is deep fried...hahaha Sodium is their #1 ingredient after oil but it's vegetarian. Enjoy. read more

This place is vegetarian/vegan's dream. I got Buttery Chickin and my daughter got the poutine fries. Both were amazing. Even though the restaurant was packed for lunch, we had great service and food came out on time. I will be visiting this place again the next time I am in Vancouver. read more

Meat meets meatless. A vegetarian restaurant that gives the veggie lovers a special version of popular dishes. From portobello mushroom kalamari to meetless burgers to butter chikkin, MeeT provides some tasty dishes that pleasantly surprised me. I had the Mac and cheese made with a cashew "cheese" which was pretty good. Shared some appys with friends and would definitely order the portobello mushroom "kalamari" again. Good vegetarian restaurant and reasonable prices and good portion sizes. read more

I don't even know where to begin. This place is seriously awesome. Some of the best vegan food I've ever had, amazing service, and good atmosphere. If you don't try this place, you are simply missing out. My friend and I shared the Hot Chiggin' Things, Corn Fritters, Chili Cheese Fries, and the Santorini salad. All amazing. We had some time to kill so we sat and let that all digest a bit and then I had the rootbeer float and my friend had the rice pudding churro balls for dessert. Also amazing. Seriously, I think we commented on how good everything was no less than 15 times throughout the meal. Good stuff. read more

One of my favourite veg restaurants for the decor, service and most importantly the food! Comfort food at its finest, and in my opinion the best fries in Vancouver! Love the cheez sauce on the nacho fries:) read more

I'd give it 5 stars but service is slow. It's nice to take your time and dine but I've been here many times, and there is no sense of urgency. Sometimes I feel forgotten...but...the food is incredible. Probably the best burgers in town (for a veggie). I used to think Rogue Wet Bar had the best but this is now 1st place. The burgers are JUICY. Really. And they come with awesome crispy fries and a salad. Holy. The curries are great but compared to burgers the portions are small on some of the mains. Confusing. The Picnic main is killer good. Chili. Cornbread. Coleslaw...Bloody hell is was ambrosia. Beer list is small and hyper local. I love. Vibe is comfy but can get loud at dinner time when all seats full. Highly recommend this joint but don't go if you're in a rush. Just sayin'. read more

Ordered butter chikkin at 7:20 pm for take out tonight. Server said 10 mins. Went there at the 15 minute mark, paid, and was told to wait outside and they would call my name. Waited another 15 mins. Went inside to check and sleepy host checked below and there it was - sitting in the hostess stand. Was there for 15 mins and no one came outside to give me the order as promised. Get organized for take out or get on Door Dash. I won't be ordering takeout anytime soon from Meet on Main. read more

Every dish I've ever had there has been amazing. Meet is me and my husbands go to restaurant. Service sometimes isn't the fastest, but the food always makes up for that! The chiggin things, burgers and nacho fries are the best! read more

Great service and great concept! My low rating is because the food was not tasty. I am vegetarian and I have had much better vegetarian food in vancouver. It wasn't at all spicy or flavourful. We ordered the meet burger and thought it was really dry and the after burps haunted me for hours. The chiggin wings were decent.We were expecting a lot from the chilli cheese fries and we did not really enjoy the food to be very honest. read more

Let me start by saying I am a carnivore and I thoroughly enjoyed the food at this establishment. Spinach and artichoke dip to start. And I had a beyond meat double bacon burger. Veggie burger had the same consistency as a beef burger and it tasted good. Not sure what the bacon was made from but it was good. This was my first vegetarian experience and I was impressed. I'll try more in the future. read more

Great local place on main street, have not visited the other locations yet but Main is my go to place for vegetarian food. Heavy on flavours (which I like but others might not). My favourites are the ginger beefless bowl and the cauliflower appetizers! read more

We liked the menu in the window so stepped in and took a table. Then uh oh, Vegan! We decided to stay anyway, based on our feel of the place and how popular it seemed to be. Good decision. We shared their Blue Burger; a veggie pattie with trimmings including onion rings and a big slab of blue cheese and great fries and a yummy salad on the side. Amazing tastes and the pattie had the texture and flavour of seasoned ground beef. We were both full and happy at the finish. Good value, friendly efficient service; we highly recommend it. read more

What is the literal hype about this place? Music is so loud and food is mediocre at best. First, we waited for 45 minutes for our food and the waitress only gave us our water twenty minutes after sitting down. We were only introduced to our waitress when I put up my hand to order. I'm shaking my head real hard for this one. After waiting for what seemed like an eternity for our food, it wasn't even that good. My friend had the mac and cheese and said that it was way too salty and left a strange aftertaste. It was around $13 and not worth for something that probably took them less than a few dollars to make. At least include a small salad.and then came my burger, the main one. The patty was crumbling and the seasoning tasted strange like cheap instant noodles. There was no coherent taste to the burger and honestly, the beyond burger at A&W tastes better. I will give them some points for the fries which tasted quite nice, not too salty and airy. Accompanied by the mayo sauce, it tasted quite nice. The salad that came on the side though....too acidic and was merely a few pieces of veggies with vinegar. The portion was big however but I didn't finish, it was simply too bad other than the fries. Overall, bad service and mediocre food. Take your money elsewhere. read more

Bomb.com! I love this place and I'm a carnivore lol. Their angry burger has the perfect amount of spice, and their spinach dip is amazing.

I've been here twice and both times had an amazing experience! I am someone who tries to be sustainable and conscious with my food choices and MeeT definitely hits that mark! I've tried one of their bowls, The Lovely, and their Meet Burger. The Lovely was generous in terms of portion size and while it was very tasty, the combination of flavours didn't quite do it for me. However, the Meet Burger... is amazing! The patty has a really nice texture and flavour and has just the right amount of moisture. Their burgers come with a side of salad AND fries, both of which are tasty and complement the burger nicely. Both dishes were super filling for me and my boyfriend, who enjoys eating meat, loves this place! Last but not least I have to mention that the service here is impeccable! Everyone seems so friendly and cheerful but I have to give a special shoutout to the lady who served my table both times I've eaten here - Pauline! She is the best, so attentive, bubbly and talkative. Even when the place was on the busier side, she was on top of it and was always smiling. It's hard working as a server but she makes it look easy and gives off such a great vibe. Love this place and would recommend it to both vegan and non vegans alike! read more

There was really nothing special about this place. I'd like to but really can't expand more on that fact. Bowls were too sour but still kinda good I guess? $6 for a deep fried croissant? ??? Just go to The Acorn. read more

Great restaurant. Go early because this place is busy! Everything we ordered exceeded my expectations. I am not gluten free or vegan/vegetarian, but I really enjoyed the experience of dining here. There were 8 of us and we all were pleased with their food and service. The mushroom calamari and the butter chicken poutine were my favourites. I will be returning again. Thanks to the staff for making this a memorable experience. read more

The Noodley Thai and Beefless Ginger bowls are out freaking awesome! The space is a little on the loud side but the food is so good it makes it worth it. Everything is super flavourful, the staff are nice, and the service is quick. read more

This was my first vegan restaurant even though I don't eat much meat in the first place. I checked out the menu beforehand and it all sounded too healthy... lol. Based on a friend's recommendation, I ordered The Macro. I didn't know what to expect and to be honest I didn't think I was going to like my dish. I like my pasta and noodles. I was pleasantly surprised. I liked everything and enjoyed every bite. However, I thought there was too much broccoli (not a fan) and would have preferred more mushrooms and bean sprouts. But that's just my personal preference. The cashew gravy was on the thick and on the saltier side. I would probably order it again. I love root beer so I ordered the Phillips Craft Root Beer. I found it lacking and wasn't worth the $4.50. All in all, a great place to go and the servers (at least the ones I observed) were friendly and seemed happy to be there. read more

When we arrived the place was packed. The hostess was super chill and kept everyone informed about the waiting times. Even though it was very busy we didn't have to wait for too long. The food was delicious. I am not a vegetarian or vegan and I loved the burger. I had the ginger shrub beer that was delicious too. For dessert I had the cheezcake with raspberry coulis and wow, it was amazing. Great service too. The only complain will be that the music was way too loud. I kept yelling at my friend the entire night because it was almost impossible to hear each other. read more

Came here for a Thursday night dinner with my parents around 8:15pm and were seated within a few minutes. However, we waited over 45 minutes for our food to come out, even though the place was clearing out at that point. We were a little hangry by the time our food came, but the food was delicious. The fries are deliciously crispy, and the burgers were quite good. I had the chikn schnitzel special which was quite delicious, served with garlicky kale and broccoli. Our server was very nice, and apologized profusely for the wait, and even gave us free dessert! However, the place was almost empty by then and our dessert, again, took forever to come out, which was disappointing. The place was also very loud inside, so it was hard to hear each other talk. Great good, and the staff is very nice, but the food just took too long. read more

One of those 'if you've never been, you've gotta go' kind of places. All-around, it's very good vegan comfort food, and a great place to go eat if you want to show non-vegans you don't just eat raw vegetables. Everything on the menu is vegan, and most is gluten-free, but it's very clearly noted when something isn't. If you're a first-timer here, definitely try the cauliflower bites. They're so addictive! And if you're a fan of crazy french fry dishes, Meet on Main is calling your name. read more

You know when you have a craving for a burger, fries and a beer? Well when you're a vegetarian who can't eat gluten this can be quite a challenge, but no worries... Meet on Main is here. The customer service was better than most Main St. eateries and we didn't feel rushed despite the line up to get in. Despite my hankering for a beer, I couldn't resist starting off with a cocktail. The sidecar was done perfectly and went down pretty quickly. I ordered a GF BBQ burger which was just OK. The GF bun was good, but I found the burger a bit too crumbly. Fries were good and plentiful. The GF beer was disappointing. Maybe they're trying to stay local by serving the Whistler brew, but there are far better GF beers out there. All in all a positive experience! read more

Came in on a Saturday long weekend night at around 9:30pm and was pleasantly greeted with lots of empty tables, which meant prompt service unlike the usual lunch hour rush. My fiancée got the house chili to start and waited for the 10pm happy hour to start before getting a pint of wheat ale and their groovy gravy fries. I got their noodle-y thai bowl and a glass of their sparkling lemonade. Oh gosh - I forgot how good their fries are. Their fries may be pricey with their original prices but the amount they give you is well worth it every single time I come. The happy hour price of $5 for their groovy gravy fries makes everything taste even better. I was surprised at how good the gravy tasted despite it being cashew gravy .... in fact, I wish all my gravy was cashew gravy from now on! My noodle-y thai was nothing to boast about... it just felt like a large bowl of pad-thai minus the authenticity and the correct sauce for it. It was a-ok in terms of noodles; however, it wouldn't be what I would be ordering the next time I come. read more

My first time experiencing eating at a vegan restaurant and it was absolutely phenomenal! Their portions are huge and there's so much flavor in their dishes! Loved it and will come again! read more

Consistently delicious, even as a non-vegan I'd prefer their burger to a regular one any day.

I crave the team poutine all the time, my non vegan friends can confirm that it tastes just as good. :) The burgers they have here are really good as well! I tried the Mac and cheese once but it could use some improvement, it was very consistent in texture and taste, much like boxed Mac and cheese. I got the Caesar salad for takeout once and it was rather poor quality, I won't judge based off that one time but I'm a jobless teenager so it hurts my wallet and my soul. read more

Ordered takeout for lunch from here last summer. I love how this place is vegan and gluten free but the taste beats the meat-containing counterparts. Ordered the butter chikkin, which has a descent portion size sufficient for one person for $12.25 (now $13.75). The quality though, cannot be beat. The lunch comes packed in a paper container, and the super friendly staff even served us water as we waited for our take out. The patio space outside is perfect for a warm summer day, while the beautifully decorated inside with a vintage vibe is perfect for rainy or colder days. read more

Walked here before a baseball game at the Nat. Came for the gluten-free options for my wife but found a lot of nice gluten-full options for me too. Great decor and atmosphere, slow service. Probably better in a larger group. read more

Once you come into the place it's a nice homey vibe. Always or mostly packed. A lot of not vegan friend don't fancy the place as much, but if you under stand the struggle of the vegan life this place is pretty good and not too expensive too. Food presentation is some what #instagramable but if your trying for #astheticgoals or #whiteonwhite it may be a little harder. Food is good if your too lazy too cook yourself, more of an "unhealthy" vegan kind of place but I'm not hating. Pick up feature is great, I kind of wish they had delivery though within a certain KM radius of the place. read more
