Everything was delicious. It was so nice that everything was vegan since we are a plant based family. Had soooo many options. The server was friendly. Highly recommend!

Fantastic food! I am not vegan by any means but the food here is amazing. The staff are extremely knowledgeable about dietary needs and have great recommendations. My mother and I stoped her on a whim out of curiosity and I’m so glad we did. Service was great, staff are friendly and helpful. It was awesome to finally eat pasta and not get a stomach ache as I am lactose intolerant!

I’m so happy Vancouver is a foodie city that caters for everyone and anyone. Meet is a charming restaurant in unique & eclectic Gastown. MeeT is full of tasty and creative Vegan cuisine. Highly recommend as I took guests from Ontario here and they loved it.

I absolutely love MeeT in Gastown! Every time I visit Vancouver, this is always my first stop. My favourite dish on their menu, and the item I would fly across the country for, the Chick'n and Waffles. The sauce, the crunch, the flavour, the pickles. I never leave a crumb behind. Service is always great, the patios are nice in the summer, prices are fair. Can't wait to visit again!

I came here with a friend for my belated birthday the other day and I gotta say I love the food and dessert I got. If I was to be a critique I would say the only thing I would suggest is that there is a consistency with the beets in the salad I order. I notice there was soft and hard pieces inside the salad. It would be nice if it was just soft beets only. Other than that everything was perfect and I love how sweet my server was. I didn’t get her name but she’s the lady with the red and blonde streaks with bangs. She has a super great energy!

I visited Meet on my last visit to Vancouver and loved the food. This time the food was terrible. The drinks, atmosphere, and service was A+! But I could only eat half of what I ordered. Also serving salad on a plate was a bad choice. I’ll come back for another try next time in town. Only giving 4 stars because all the employees were amazing!

Really enjoyed dining here, wonderful service and good atmosphere. Of course the food was delicious! I'm not vegan but I loved it and will be back to try other dishes! Drinks tasted great and the dessert, Carrot Cake, was incredible!

Made a reso, and were seated immediately but had to flag down a server after no one came to the table for 20mins. The server who ended up taking care of us was super great (our seat was not in her section) but the Mac and cheese doughnuts were frozen in the middle. Overall just an okay experience, not sure if I would recommend it

I love MeeT. Ive been to Main and Gastown (how have I never been to Yaletown?!) The kalamari is seriously the best. It has me thinking about it all the time. The loaded fries, so good. The burgers are great, although I sincerely miss the angry burger. That leaving was a travesty. Get a burger and get half fries, half salad. Youre welcome. I had the mac burger and found the mac was lacking flavour and was very dry. I was disappointed with that. Also, found it weird that there were so many pages of drinks and they were all listed first. It was a lot of drink choices to look through while looking for the food menu (not very clear where one ends and the other starts) Service is always amazing. I love that everyone gets to show up for work as themself. Vegetarian options: All vegan Dietary restrictions: Nuts would be hard to avoid Kid-friendliness: Yes, although no specific kid menu Wheelchair accessibility: First floor No button on door

Food was good. Service was below average. Expectations of the restaurant is to pay a minimum 18% tip on food that is already very expensive. Ofcourse, I paid it because the way the server just stays there until you hit that Tip button is a good tactic to put pressure on you and make you feel uncomfortable. Nothing against the server, but the service was not deserving of a tip. Nobody even looked at us until 20 minutes. No one even asked us water. No one checked in after the food arrived then they force a minimum 18%tip on the machine it s outrageous!!

I love Meet!!! Lmao!! Never thought I d say that sentence! (Get it bc meat vegetarian . Ok I ll stop now) I have been four times, once to yaletown, twice to Gastown, and once to main. Never missed a single time. This is the place to bring the friend you want to convince vegan food is JUST AS and even MORE delicious than non vegan. The staff is always lovely and the food is incredible!!! So grateful to have a restaurant where I can eat everything they have, that s so rare for me!! MeeT as long as I m alive you have a fan I tried the chick un, ginger beefless bowl, steak tacos and meet burger. My favourite has been the burger with the tacos as a close second. But no matter what you order you re just about guaranteed to enjoy it! Dietary restrictions: Everything is lactose and egg free, almost everything is gluten free and of course it s all vegan too

What a great experience at MeeT with Ben and Tegan as our guides. From the timing of our service to their great energy and attention to detail, we truly enjoyed our meal. Aside from my rice noodles being slightly overcooked, our food was just right. The flavours, presentation and freshness of everything will keep us coming back in the future. Highly recommend

A nice place to eat vegan food, especially if you like carbs. A little disappointed with the cauliflower Mac n cheese as it had only 3 small pieces of cauliflower! Also the Thai noodles had very little veggies. But the staff are sweet and the atmosphere nice. The portions are huge so go with a big appetite or share! Dietary restrictions: GF versions

They accidentally let hair get in my food 2 times in a row. I don t want to risk coming here again.

September 23, 2024

Disappointing is an understatement when describing my experience at this restaurant. The service was abysmal, with our servers showing little to no attention to our group. Instead of being guided to our table, it was merely pointed out, and the overall attitude from some staff was unfriendly. The atmosphere was overstimulating, adding to the discomfort. To make matters worse, as a diabetic, I was shocked by the lack of diabetic-friendly drink options. For a restaurant that prides itself on inclusivity, it s unrealistic not to offer sugar-free drinks. Additionally, it would have been helpful if the restaurant was more upfront about being vegan-only, instead of leaving subtle clues for diners to decipher online as well as in person. This is incredibly misleading for those not interested in plant-based options or those with specific dietary restrictions. The lack of consideration for plant allergies was particularly concerning, and the staff s indifference only compounded the issue. On the positive side, the playlist was fantastic, but unfortunately, that s where the highlights end. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant.

Surprisingly good despite me not being vegan. The fries and gravy good but a little salty probably from the miso gravy. Had a harvest salad which was good too but some of the squash was undercooked. Did not try any of the beef dishes

Ordered the mac and cheese on door dash and the mac is way overcooked that it s mushy and the sauce doesn t taste very cheesy and has a weird flavor. It s a very disappointing mac and cheese and I feel like throwing up after eating it. Even frozen dinner tastes better than this. :(

Good food, although the gnocchi is bought in and therefore isnt fresh and fluffy. The staff service ranged from good to great and the cocktails were really tasty. Unfortunately a few key components of their so-called signature dishes (they have more than one ) are not made in house, but their food and atmosphere made for a nice experience. Overall, recommended :)

_The_ best vegan and gluten free burger Ive ever had (camewith French fries and salad too)! Dietary restrictions: Gluten free, vegan

August 23, 2024

We put our name down for 4 different places on a busy saturday night, thought this place looked the best, went there and looked at their menu and looked super good, we go to order our food after being there for 25 minutes (after we had cancelled on the other places we went to put our names down for) and the waitress goes to tell us that the restaurant is vegan! It has zero information on the menu or in the restaurant that it is vegan, and they describe their burgers as a classic burger this ruined our chances of getting a table anywhere else that night. Maybe consider putting on your menu or on the restaurant itself that it is a vegan restaurant?

All vegan food in multiple locations throughout Vancouver Food*** We got the ginger beef less bowl and the yum bowl. Both were very healthy (can t say if the sauce was) but nonetheless very delicious. We enjoyed them. They were not outstanding but tasty. Atmosphere*** Nice indoor and outdoor seating. I didn t feel like they cleaned it well but something felt off. Service**** They were very accommodating, kind and attentive. Price$$ Under $15 per meal

We ordered Teem Poutine takeaway and were utterly disappointed with the taste. The gravy was extremely salty. We could hardly eat it. Not the quality we expected from a restaurant that is spoke high of for vegan food. We just threw it off. The quality standards should have maintained and for 14$ its not cheap either

Ordered the Vegan poutine. The fries were crispy and delicious but the cheesy curds was way too salty.

Great comfort food experience. 100% Vegan Busy vibe , interesting location , tasty food, knocked it out of the park service We had the beet salad, with feta cheese on the side ,southern fried chick un burger, Butter chikkin noodz . I found the salt level in the feta cheese, higher than I was used to, that s clearly a personal preference which I managed by having the cheese on the side Generous portions. If you re looking for a trendy, lively , comfort vegan food , cosy spot where you can enjoy both alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks with your vegan fair I would recommend you give MeeT a try

Ordered three dishes here, a poutine, oyster calimari and a noodle bowl. Food was nice and pleasant. Service when I come here is consistently bad and non-present. Half empty but was impossible to get any service for half the stay. Ran out of water, found hair in my food and could not find anyone servers to help me. Almost had to get up and dance just to get service. Felt like staff was upset and took issue with us. Did not feel comfortable with their handling of things. Music was far too loud.

I havent tried much vegan food or visited many vegan places, but I really enjoyed their burger. I ordered the Crispy BBQ Burger, and it tasted just like a regular meat burger. I liked that it came with a small salad, and the portion size kept me full until the night. One downside was that the food was a bit salty, so I ended up craving a lot of water afterward. Also, I felt that starting the tip selection from 18% was a bit excessive. Of course, I could have customized it to 15%, but I didnt want to do that with the server watching. I didnt get a chance to try their butter chikkin noodz , but I heard it was good too. Im looking forward to trying their other dishes!

Extremely delicious food. We got take out and picking up I was able to appreciate the sleek and comfy vibes of the location. We order the Korean Fried Chikkin Skewers and they were rich in flavor and tender to the bite. I was shocked as a Mexicano that the steak tacos would be as rich in flavor as the skewers yet a completely different cultural flavor. Finally the pepper steak caesar salad was no less tasty. It was a refreshing veggie option. As someone that is seeks out plant based protein this place is a must. And their sauces, just wow, absolutely hit the spot with culinary magic.

the food is AMAZING but unfortunately at this location the waitress barely checked on us, about every 40 minutes even though it wasn t packed & other tables got their drinks & food way before us. She also never apologized about the slow service, which was disappointing especially near the end when it was pretty cleared out and still waiting for our bill. The customer service at the other Yaletown location was amazing though! the food is great at both locations & definitely recommended for vegan food!

TLDR: order not filled as requested (which is fine because accidents happen); no follow up from staff. Hostess was very attentive upon seating us and when taking our order. I had asked for my dish to have the sauce on the side but when it arrived, I couldn t find one item not covered in sauce. Staff did not come to do a quality check at any point so we wound up flagging someone after 5 minutes. She said she would check with the kitchen what was going on but proceeded to help other people and chat with her colleagues :( Please note there were probably only 4-5 other tables with patrons, remainder of place was empty seats. The only other time we managed to get ahold of staff was so that we could pay to get out of there.

Recommend Korean fried chikkin, love the spicy sauce which wrapped around the chicken. Big yum bowl was refreshing, really good choice for hot weather, especially during at noon! But! I was a little bit disappointed with their butter chikkin noodles, I felt like the noodles were overcooked, and it tasted just average, no surprise. Maybe would come back to try their burgers for next time. Hope would be better.

We ate here a couple of months back due to the reviews. The place is really cute and has a warm vibe. The food is interesting and I didn t know what to expect. My wife loved it and I thought it was ok, but overall we were both satisfied with the food and drink. The place is nice and clean which is great. The customer service was below average and we found it annoying we had to keep flagging down our waitress. Once when only half our order was delivered, another when we needed water refills and finally to ask for my beer that never arrived. I think they may have been new or was just too distracted. The bad part is they didn t apologize for the experience. I sensed a little grumpiness. Overall they have interesting and tasty food that all natural and meatless.

This is a fun location in the heart of gastown. It s a good spot for vegans and non-vegans as many of the dishes aren t obviously vegan. I really like their big yum bowl that has roasted tempeh, yams, carrot and miso dressing on brown rice. My partner often gets the ginger beef-less which is a play on a ginger beef but much better as it s less fatty. Their brunch is my favourite with lots of Benny options and really yummy waffles. I also love their jalapeño Caesar. The interior could use a bit of updating and sometimes the staff is too busy to be really attentive. But they re always friendly and when they re not slammed you get great service so I appreciate that. Vegetarian options: Everything is vegan so lots of options for vegetarians. Dietary restrictions: They don t have any peanuts in house which is really helpful Wheelchair accessibility: It s easy to access via wheelchair as it s ground floor with no stairs.

We ordered the following: - Nashville Hunny Glazed Mac N Cheez Donuts - Meet Burger w/ Fries - Spring Onion Soup - Whipped Fetta Gnocchi - Chick un & Waffles Most notably the Mac N Cheez Donuts was very different (in that I ve never seen it before in a vegan restaurant) and really delicious. The Gnocci was done perfectly.

I joined my family here for dinner on a very cold night. The restaurant had space heaters placed all over to keep customers warm. You would think they would have been cumbersome, but they fit the vibe and ambiance perfectly and kept us feeling comfortable. Im not vegan however, I do enjoy some vegan foods, especially vegan cheese! The menu had a good variety of choices for food and drink. I had the Mac and Cheese with Italian sausage. It was creamy and cheesy and delicious. The service was friendly, accommodating, and timely. The restaurant was about half full, but even with music and other tables talking, we could still visit and hear each other without having to yell, which scores big points from me. The bathrooms are small but kept clean and stocked. Overall I would visit again, and I would recommend eating at MeeT.

The management read my review, instantly contacted me and and went above and beyond to make me satisfied and happy. I am back to being a happy MEET AT GASTOWN customer Eaten here 4 times now and have enjoyed. Yesterday my wife, mom and myself had lunch and I had the phoney chicken burger. It was over cooked and really hard, tasted burned, even the fries were over cooked and oily. Mentioned this to the waiter and all I got was an O-well. Not sure if Ill ever be back

Cozy spot, with cute little quirks. Always a big fan of outdoor seating! The staff were friendly and asked about allergies without being prompted. We ordered the faux chicken poutine (butter chikkin poutine, I believe) and it was fantastic, with that ideal ratio of sauce to fries. The portion size was plenty to split between two people. To chase it down, the elderberry spritz was refreshing and lightly sweetened. Our first time there, but definitely worth a return visit when we are back in town.

This place is opulent, classy, lookout for those tastefully assembled Edison bulbs. Food is comforting, looks good, tastes better. The vibe, I tell you is simply casual, Californian & almost to the extent of me thinking of shooting a short film in there. The dine in area is sectioned in 3 zones & they have an outdoor area as well. Servers are friendly & helpful. Very empathetic. I always make sure to bring along friends, acquaintances or conduct work meetings here. P.s. they have taken off the most favourite combo of burger (Mucho-Gusto Burger) off the menu which makes me sad. But otherwise,

This place was all of the things. I dabble in vegan options, and I don t really eat vegan food because of my allergies. But BABY, when I tell you that the staff here knows what s in their food, the food taste amazing, and the vibe is everything you ll have to go see for yourself. During our weekend trip it was the first place suggested and I craved this sooooo insanely bad that we went back again before we left. The kombucha is giving stomach wealth, the Ginger Beefless bowl giving flavor and spice, the Big Yum was giving yummy. Then there was this divine concoction of ginger lime drink. OMGosh, I ll be back in Vancouver just to visit MeeT. One last note, shout out to the staff who was kind and offered many suggestions to enjoy our short lived visit to this wonderful city!

Went to this spot for brunch their brunch hours until 3 pm were a lifesaver. Despite my high expectations, I didnt find as many options as Id hoped for, given my gluten and dairy restrictions. But heres the thing if youre a vegetarian, this place is a dream. Theyve got an array of delicious choices, and whats even better is that their menu clearly labels items catering to dietary restrictions. No need to play the twenty questions game with the server. Now, let me expand about the service it was top-notch. Our server was on the ball and super friendly. Id definitely recommend this spot for all the veggies out there and even vegans. However, if youre in the same boat as me, it might be a good idea to skim the menu beforehand, so youre ready to throw in a few substitution requests. The staff here was awesome about helping out with that

Date: January 9, 2020 Server: Sarah Total: $58.80 - 3 people My 3rd lifetime visit to MeeT, this time it was after a field trip to Victory Square. Myself and 2 other friends went to check out if MeeT still held up. We each got burgers, I got the MEET Burger, while my friends got the Main Burger, and the Double Bacon Cheese w/ TeeM Poutine & House Made Lemonade. Two of us opted for a side salad. The burgers were just off tasting and probably one of the worser veggie burgers Ive had in some time. However the salad was surprisingly good. Perhaps the standards have dropped over the course of time, since I remember my last burger from MeeT on Main tasting amazing. If you do decide to give this place a visit, opt out of the burgers for one of the entrees salads or something else. I would rank this a mid-tier restaurant. Vegetarian options: I would veer away from the burgers in favour of the salads instead.

Good atmosphere place on a weekend, cheap meals for Vancouver, and cheap shots. However they told us it would be a 5-10 min wait to be seated but we had to wait 20 mins when it wasn t even that busy, there were so many tables that were empty and not even cleared yet. Then the same sized group of people in line behind us got seated before us! Then the lady who seated us didn t even apologise for the wait. The staff also spoke so quietly we could hardly hear them over all the talking. Then they took forever to come and take our orders for food. We had 2 rounds of shots and our server didn t ID us, but then when we tried to order drinks they asked us for ID and told us we needed 2 forms of ID which none of us had, even though they had already served us alcohol! Then the worst part, my friend had a full hair in their burger. Very poor service, understaffed and unprofessional.
