We were told that the sweet-chili cauliflower and the hot chiggin' things were must-tries so we ordered both as well as the mountain burger. When the cauliflower and the chiggin' things came, both were overly sauced and WAY too salty. I'm practically a cactus and I drank almost my entire glass (sorry mason jar) of water. The fried cauliflower I think would've been really tasty on its own with maybe a bit of sauce but seriously these things were drowning. Maybe if they didn't pour half a cup of sauce on the dish they wouldn't have to charge nearly $10 for 6 bites of cauliflower. The mountain burger on the other hand was quite yummy and frankly of all the things we ordered its probably the only thing I would come back for. The burger didn't make me miss meat at all and if I wasn't paying attention I wouldn't have even noticed that it was a veggie burg. We really wanted to upgrade our fries and try something on their french fries menu but didn't think we could manage to eat an entire order so we asked if we could add some toppings to the fries that came with the burger (expecting that we'd be charged a nominal amount for it) but apparently they're not able to do that and we'd have to order an full order of their fries (at over $7 per order might I add...) in order to try some of their cool flavors. We'd probably have paid $3 to get some measly chopped garlic on our fries but apparently that's not possible which I was pretty bummed about. Overall the experience was mediocre and we didn't really find that it was anything out of the ordinary nor are we really itching to go back. read more

Regular staple on Main Street- I'm not vegan but the food is delicious. Try the butter "chicken", burgers, and really any of the veggie bowls. Great food! read more

This restaurant shows 100% that Vegan food is not only freaking delicious, but easily accessible to a mainstream omni audience. Skip the salads and go directly for the burgers and bowls. The rotating specials are awesome as well. Staff is super friendly and will make sure you have an amazing experience. It's so easy to go plant based in 2k18, and MeeT is the place to go if you want a taste of that! read more

I had the Beyond Meat burger and fries and it was delicious! Enjoyed the environment and service was good - had to wait about 15-20 minutes.

When we arrived the place was very crowded but my girlfriend and I were still seated almost immediately. Our waiter Julien was very friendly and helped us decide on what we wanted AND helped us save money. He gave us recommendations on what to do in the area too and all his suggestions were great! The Whiskey BBQ Things were the highlight of our food that night. We went back the next night to get more of them, and tried the Chili and Sweet Chili Cauliflower, which were both amazing as well. The vibe of the restaurant is cozy and intimate, definitely modern, and lively. The cheeses we tried were disappointing, but neither me or my partner are fans of vegan cheeses. Also, be warned that the double double burger is EXTREMELY coconut-y. Overall, a great restaurant with a great vibe, great food, great drinks and great people! read more

I love this place!!!! Best place ever! Great service with well informed staff, they are very friendly and accommodating. The food is amazing. as a newly plant based person, I was getting bored with the plant based options I could eat until I found Main with so many fun foods. Their burgers are really good and not oily at all. Comes with a huge serving of fries and salad. The noodly Thai is great too. All their food don't leave a bad taste in the stomach like most "comfort" foods too. I love it! read more

This is THE best vegan restaurant! The TeeM Poutine was amazing (cashew miso gravy was delicious and really didn't taste anything like cashew or miso but mmmm) and my meat-loving family left the restaurant super satisfied & happy. The only thing they were sad about were the side salad that typically accompany the burgers -- which we didn't realize get replaced when you upgrade to poutine from regular fries. So they had a HUGE portion of poutine when they wanted an upgraded fries WITH the salad. But that's pretty minor. The service was amazing and they were really nice to my boy. Thanks guys! read more

Subpar service, average food. The waitress didn't take my order down properly so I had to wait for an extra 45 minutes to get my food, oh, and in the mean time, she forgot to put in my correct order. The person picked up the phone couldn't answer my questions Nice decor though read more

Soooo many options, you'll have to go back I've been to MeeT on Main three or four times for lunch. The atmosphere is unpretentious, servers included. Improvements have happened, likely due to the popularity of this awesome vegetarian restaurant. It's busy in here at lunch! They used to have chairs that felt like they were gathered from a 1970's gymnasium, but last time I was there, they had better chairs (though I'm not sure if it was just at the table I was at, or throughout). This is a great place to go with a few friends and share a few dishes, so you enjoy several dishes. Portions are on the large side; prices are reasonable. Their spinach dip is to die for. Even the non-vegetarians from my office wanted to go back - and not just for the spinach dip! read more

This is such a delicious find!! Great food, and all comfort foods - burgers, fries, wings, salads, great sides - they have great drinks on tap, awesome ambiance showing local artists work on rotation. I tried the buffalo wings with Cesar/ranch salad and they were delicious! The burgers are so dirty too, I've had them on several locations and the sizes are huge, so filling! Get the Angry burger! Also the chili is really good! This spot has become a regular place to go to because it doesn't disappoint! Our server Julian was also super awesome and made us a great sparkling lemonade with mint! read more

This is where I bring my omni friends when they ask "Where should we eat?" and they never complain about it being all veggie after we leave! Angry burg is my all-time favourite! Combined with some chiggin' things and some nacho fries. OMNOMNOM! Love this place!!! read more

My friend and I ended up here when we tried to get into the Cottage Bistro for a Flame event that had packed people to the wall and we couldn't find a spot. We found Meet on Main and decided to try it since it wasn't too far from our place and we wanted to walk home after dinner. We were seated promptly and my friend had to point out that she found both of the male servers cute so naturally I tried to do some matchmaking and ended up embarrassing the both of us. More on that later. We got our menus and water and the server explained the special to us which sounded like a hot dog covered in deep fried jalapenos. The place is called Meet on Main so I thought we were going to be eating meat. SO clueless. I ordered chili cheez fries and had no idea that the chili was made with veggie ground round. My friend ordered a quinoa meat bowl and both of the dishes were delicious, we swapped for a few bites. I should have been tipped off that this place is veggie when most items on the menu have cashew gravy served with them. It is amazing by the way and tastes like real gravy. We got our food literally 10 minutes after we placed our order, it was the fastest I have ever been served at a sit down restaurant. Our server checked on us once or twice and he noticed when I hadn't been picking at my fries anymore and brought a box over and then brought our receipts. We were in and out of that place in probably 35 minutes because they were filling up really fast and a line was forming outside the door so I felt a little rushed but it was late enough on a weekday that I was okay with getting home sooner than I had planned to. While we were paying our bills (brought by a server different from our original guy) my friend was sad that we were leaving cute server behind so I said, "Don't worry we'll come back and you'll see him again!" right as he walked by behind me. He heard me..... My friend turned bright red and I apologized profusely as he came up to our table with the biggest smile, put his hands on the table and said, "Have a great night!" Sorry friend!! read more

Visiting from Seattle and wanted to check out this vegan spot because of the great reviews! I myself am not vegan but my best friends I came with are vegan & vegetarian. We came on a Thursday night around 8:30 and were seated right away despite a busy restaurant. We ordered the vegan Mac n cheese w/ vegan sausage, sweet chili cauliflower, satay sauce and spicy mayo fries and artichoke/spinach dip all to share. Mac n cheese was the best vegan Mac n cheese my vegan friend had tried! Cauliflower and artichoke/spinach dip were awesome! Satay sauce fries were just ok. They were way sweeter than we thought they would be and were kind of missing that savory element! We also each got drinks. I got the rosemary lemon drink with gin and it was not that great. Service was fine, everyone there was nice but not the most attentive service! We had to ask for water and napkins. Purely would go back again just for the amazing food though! Would recommend for any vegans or non vegans! read more

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

See all

We were walking on Main looking for a decent place to go eat, and we stumbled upon Meet. The place was just so lively and accommodating, right from the door they ask for your phone number so that they can just text you when your table is ready! As we sat down, the waiter came right away and I can honestly say that he was one of the best waiters I've ever had! He was super friendly, and very enthusiastic with every single customer. And it being our first time, he made it seem like we've been going there for years! And the food was just another level... I'm not a vegan, but this restaurant seriously made me reconsider. And if you're not a huge fan of vegan food, make sure you go here first because it's honestly the best that there is! read more

Good place. Appreciate that they're health conscious. They try to avoid unhealthy ingredients like dairy and gluten etc.

Delicious food. Must try the chiggin things! Be warned - They're hot. Everything was so tasty. The staff are friendly and welcoming! Definitely coming back here. read more

I was excited to go to Meet on Main to try Beyond Meat burger for the first time and I was unfortunately disappointed. The burger was mediocre at best and the price for it was not justified at all. Unfortunately majority of items on the menu were overprices, but this is the sad reality of fully vegan or vegetarian restaurants in Vancouver. Another disappointing thing about this restaurant was drink glasses. You want to pay good money for a beer or a drink? Sure, here is your drink in a water glasses. I know this may sound small and irrelevant, but if i am paying money for a drink I expect higher level of presentation and care. The only reason i am giving this place 3 stars instead of 2 is the service. Service at Meet on Main was great, servers were super nice and offered to refund my friend's burger (not beyond meat) that tasted like cardboard. read more

LOVE. We live nearby and come here often. I'm not a vegan but I am allergic to dairy, and it's nice to know I won't get poisoned here. And the food hits the spot every time. The poutine is a go-to staple, and their burgers are also phenomenal (splurge on the patty upgrade... it's SO GOOD). The noodle bowl is also tasty, as is the mac n cheese. Honestly, I haven't had anything bad here. Only downside is that everyone else seems to concur, so Meet is almost always busy. The service is sometimes a bit sluggish/inattentive as a result. But yum. read more

My first dining experience in Vancouver. A vegan heaven. I want to try everything on the menu! I had the soy curl bowl. It was yummy.

You have to sample. Creative, tasty vegetarian food. A favourite of my now toddler grandson who chooses veggies to any other food. My only gripe is that I have to bring my cream as they don't offer cream for coffee. read more

I can't wait for my parents to come visit me in Vancouver because I'm going to bring them here. Not eating meat can be tasty, too! I had the mushroom stroganoff. It was so creamy and delicious. I'm happy they now have a 2nd location closer to downtown. Now I can just walk to get some great food! read more

Took the family on Sunday night, and the food was ok, but the music was deafening. I was in the corner, and couldn't hear anyone at my table. Had to shout all through my meal. Too bad, as it's put me off going back, and the Butter Chikkin was good. Husband said his burger was just OK. read more

I had such high hopes for this place because my gf has been raving about it for 2 weeks because her friends really loved the food. We were seated fairly quickly despite the place being packed. We ordered an appy and a main. The sweet chili caulis were pretty good, although my gf and i thought was a bit over dressed. It came pretty fast within 5 mins of ordering. Afterwards, our main didn't come until 40 minutes after. Heck the couple beside us ordered almost the same time as us and they paid for their bill and were out and we still didn't get our order. When we got it, it was quite mediocre. I had the meet burger and my gf had the mac n cheese burger. To top it off, the server Irma never once smiled at us and seemed very discriminatory - she was making small talk with the other customers but didn't even stop to look at us when we asked to check our order, just rushed on by. There was a nice male server(julian) though who gave excellent service as we saw to other customers. If only we had gotten him this mightve been a 3 or even 4 star despite everything. read more

My wife and I walked out after rude server experience last night and don't plan to return. Had been highly recommended by some friends who live in the hood. We were seated a few minutes before Happy Hour ended, then sat and waited. I asked for the Lager on Happy Hour and was immediately vibed by the server, who said "I'm sorry my friend but Happy Hour is over." IT WAS 5:03 p.m.! Then after a brief shocked pause on my part she added, begrudgingly, "I'll do the first one on Happy Hour, but not the next."...then stormed away. As we walked out the door, I said, "Your attitude just cost you two customers." She was clueless. Serious customer service training needed. Didn't get her name: long dark hair. read more

Food: 2 out of 5 Service: 3.5 out of 5 Environment: 3 out of 5 In my opinion: it's a seemingly healthy restaurant with vegan recipes that are not well cooked. My boyfriend and I was going to East and East at Main Street for lunch today. When we found out it was closed, i found this one on yelp with very high rating. The place was packed with a small lineup outside of restaurant around 2Pm. We were told it would be a 10 min wait by a friendly waitress. Once seated at a very small table, we ordered main burger for me and the meet burger for my boyfriend. It's a long wait in a very noisy environment, where we had to yelled at each other and still could hardly hear one another. Food finally arrived. The portion was big. Both burgers were served with a little bowl of green salad and a decent amount of yam fries. The burger looks like a regular beef burger, only the "beef" was some kind of bean and bean product that was cooked with various spices to make it tastier. The bread was really dry. You can easily find fresher and tastier bread at save on foods. My boyfriend, usually hates to waste food, left all the bread untouched after one bite of it. The Green salad was fine for the slices of carrot on top, but really sour and salty at the bottom with the salad dressing, pure vinegar? The only acceptable food was yam fries. Well, at least it's the same quality just like all the other restaurants, not healthy at all, but eatable. Among the food that we got, this average yam fries was almost delicious compared with the bread and salad. The bill for this lunch was $25 plus tax and tips. Price is Ok, but we both agreed that we are not coming back. read more

Very nice wait staff, family fun and noisy millenials all at once, perfect for vegetarian kids. The poutine was nothing special (I prefer the A&W "vegetarian" poutine). read more

(COVID-19 REVIEW) I originally went to this location because I wanted to eat in, but after looking at their social distancing protocols I changed my mind. They had no plexi glass at the front, the space was cramped, no markers on the floor to indicate the 2m distance, they didn't sanitize the card machine in between each customer, no provided hand sanitizer at the front, and none of the staff had face masks or gloves. read more

The macaroni and cheese with tofu sausage was legit!!! It was seriously the best macaroni and cheese I've ever had - vegan or not. My partner also enjoyed the macaroni but I was greedy and hoarded it to myself. He had the meet burger and was already talking about future dining here. Service was friendly and very speedy. The environment was super relaxing and good for conversation with your buds or on a date with a special friend. We gonna be back. read more

Very tasty burgers, plant-based fish & chips and yummy fries. They also have delicious deserts and awesome staff. Also, I love the atmosphere, decor and paintings. So glad fully plant-based restaurants like Meet are becoming more popular/mainstream. read more

This place is great for vegan comfort food. I almost always get the mac and cheese!! The nacho fries are worth mentioning as well. Service is always pleasant, prices are reasonable and ambiance lets you get away with a casual outing yet also fits for something slightly classier. My go to for comfort food on Main street!! read more

Went there last Saturday for dinner. There was a lineup for table but we grabbed some drinks at the bar and since we were just two we weren't waiting too long. Once we were seated we had the sweet chili cauliflower to start (soooo good) and my boyfriend and I both had different veggie burgers for mains. He had the mountain burger I think, the one with chili on it, and I had the angry burger. It was actually the best veggie burger I've ever had. Boyfriend loved his as well. We shared a slice of "cheesecake" for dessert. It was a great meal! I will definitely return read more

This is vegan treat. Zesty BBQ, chipotle mayo is divine, fries are perfect. Well perfect if you like thick cut crispy outer soft inner. Giddeyup baby Awesome patties and the cheesecake is wicked! read more

This place is awesome! Super cozy and welcoming. The menu is all VEGAN, which is cool. I had the BBQ burger, it was delicious. Portions are perfect for what you pay for 14$ (Burger, fries and salad). Staff were friendly and food came out fast! Was a 45 min wait but it was worth the wait. Definitely recommend if your looking for vegan comfort food. read more

I went to their location in Gastown. It's nestled a little off of the street. Too tired to walk any further I just decided to stop here for lunch. Just walked in and saw a couple walking out. I asked them how was the food and they said it was good. But I still dint get a sense of what to expect. But I was blown away by the menu. I ordered their tomato soup and the macro bowl both of which surpassed my expectations. I think everything on the menu is a definite try. It's a crafted menu. Btw all vegan. read more

Think about typical bar food: excessive salt, excessive grease, excessive cream/sauce/dressing; an overall assault on taste buds that leaves one feeling a bit gross. Now imagine that the meat from that food has been (sometimes creatively) substituted with non-meat products, but all of the above characteristics have been kept intact. That's this place. I figure three days of vegetable and fruit smoothies should be sufficient to wash this icky feeling from my gut. read more

The hands down best vegan restaurant ever. Love everything on the menu. Service is great and friendly.

Meet on Main has one of the best burgers I've ever eaten--hands down. It's been months and I still can't believe it was entirely vegan. I wound up recommending the spot to everyone I knew who lived in the Pacific NW, just in case they ever happened to go up to Vancouver. When I stopped by the lunch rush had just ended, so only one other table was occupied--meaning I got to relax and take my sweet time devouring all the unhealthy vegan food I could get my hands on. I ordered the mac-n-cheez burger to start and was pleased to find that besides the burger itself being pretty hearty, the fries and beet salad were also a good size. The fries were alright, a bit crispy and oily for my tastes, but edible. The beet salad was actually quite tasty, and I wound up copying it at home a few days later. The burger itself was fantastic. From the very first bite I started wondering how in the hell it was vegan. It tasted and felt exactly like meat! The pickled jalapenos and the chili-mayo were a nice accompaniment to what otherwise would've been a very one-note burger, and I really enjoyed their vegan mac and cheese (although it didn't quite taste cheesy). The only thing on the burger that I could've done without were the onion rings, they made the burger a bit clunky and didn't really do a lot when it came to flavor. For dessert I wound up getting a cronut. As someone who has had the NYC original (Dominique Ansel's) I can definitively say that Meet on Main's version can't compare. It's too flakey and dry, and is basically 90% croissant and only 10% donut. It wound up being quite messy to eat and not very memorable. I wish I'd tried the cheezcake instead. I don't think I'll be back in Vancouver any time soon, but when I do return I'll make sure to stop by Meet on Main for another burger. read more
