Look at that cracklin'!
Pam N.

Porchetta sandwich with crackling on a soft ciabatta roll with some mustard for $14. Nuff said. We look forward to this sandwich everytime we come back to Vancouver. We have not been able to find a comparable porchetta anywhere else. They have loyal customers for life. We got the tomato fennel soup and it was so creamy and warmed up belly and breath in this cold weather. I have never been disappointed, even when the sandwich got a tiny bit smaller than it was 2 years ago. I'll still come back. Even during the lunch rush. Maybe even tomorrow.

Grilled cheese on sourdough

I can't pass up a porchetta sandwich so we had to stop here between our adventures. The sandwich was perfect. My husband got the buffalo chicken sandwich which he really liked and my daughter enjoyed her grilled cheese on sourdough which was perfectly toasted. We asked them to make one with no onions and they obliged. The service was nice. The prices affordable. The food was fast and there was ample seating. The menu is pretty small, but if you like what they make, this is a perfect pit stop.

Porchetta sandwich: porchetta, cracking, salsa verde (CAD $12.50)

Meat & Bread wasn't even on my radar until my coworker suggested lunch here during our conference at the convention center. SO GLAD HE DID! The porchetta sandwich is excellent! Tender slices of porchetta carved to order, drizzled with salsa verde, and topped with pieces of crunchy crackly pork skin...all sandwiched in between a ciabatta-like bread. YESSSSSSS PLEASE! My coworkers loved their tomato soup, Buffalo chicken sandwich and beef cheesesteak. You know when a place has a limited menu, they do every single item right! The staff was so nice and proud of their food! They were so excited to explain their offerings! A small joint: there's a few seats available inside and a couple of benches in front. Simply fantastic!

It's okay & consistent but not as much compared to what I'm used to.

Another return visit for their porchetta sandwich and soup of the day which was a tomato lentil bisque. Always a solid choice on a rainy day but not as good as Roli Roti at the Ferry Building Farmers Market in San Francisco

Amazing! Love the porchetta sandwich. You can see the flavor and crunch!

(mostly) LOVE this place! The food has amazing flavor, top quality, and the service is super fast!! Had to try the porchetta sandwich on my first visit, but only because the Turdunken wasn't on the menu today. Everything about the sandwich was spot on. The bread held the fillings perfectly and was slightly chewy. The meat, sauce, and crisp skin filling was literally a flavor explosion in my mouth. First bite and was trying to figure out when it could get back here this week given their 11am-4pm hours. Also had the mushroom soup, since it was a bit chilly outside today and there were no seats inside. This is one of the best mushroom soups I've ever had. The croutons were hard, floated on top of the soup, and full of garlic flavor. The soup was also garlic and spice laced - almost to the point of being spicy, but without over powering the mushroom. No idea how they pull it off, but it's amazing! What I don't line is sitting outside in the cold and them only being open until 4:00pm!

Porchetta sandwich
Rene G.

Great place and awesome sandwiches. I would recommend you try the Porchetta or the meatball sandwich. If you are in Vancouver Canada B.C. give a try.

Denise W.

Finally got a chance to try out their sandwiches. It's a very decent sandwich. I got the meat ball sandwich. So my 2 cents. I wish it was not spicy. It has lots of meat ball but when you bite in, it does fall apart easily. Of course that makes me look like a messy eater. Overall, it is a decent sandwich. Yes it is filling.

Clean & Fresh daily

Simple Delicious Amazing! Drove by during the heavy noon rush hour & it was packed so decided to come back after 2pm. It was quieter but people were still coming in the door. Spotted Meat & Bread via Yelp & reviews looked amazing & I knew I'd have to try it out! Located on West Pender between Thurlow & Burrard, M & B is located at the bottom of an office building & could easily be missed so use the map finder on Yelp. Ordered today's special - 63 Acres Braised Beef Stroganoff. It was fantasticly delicious! I loved it! Beef was so good & bread, fresh & soft. Peppers, onions, greens & mayo were just awesome! Talked with the manager & he told me the bread they use for their buns is made at a bakery fresh daily. Trust me its that good & goes well with the order I had! My American friends - please note this is not a Texas Big type sandwich! So you may want to order 2 if you're that hungry! So when you do drop in here - remember it's meat plus bread only! If you're expectations are on the super high level perhaps try somewhere else. Can't wait to go back & try another sandwich!!!

I always plan my days around food and knowing this place gets packed, I came right when they opened and didn't have to wait. Their Crispy Porchetta sandwich lived up to the hype. It was flavorful, juicy, and the texture of the crispy fried pork skin sealed the deal. It's a small store but there's plenty of outdoor seating in the courtyard area.

Porchetta
Jonathan Z.

The only regret I have about Meat & Bread is that I only ordered one Porchetta sandwich when clearly you could use a second. Sandwiches are among my favorite things to eat and M&B get the Porchetta sandwich right. I went when they just opened up, so I was able to get in and out quickly. As I left, there was a few people behind me, so I could see how they could get busy real quick. Ordering is simple and you get to watch your items being built in front of you. There isn't much of an eating area, but M&B is perfect for picking up and eating at your favorite spot.

Delicious sandwich of generous portion! I ordered the…read moreItaliana which comes with prosciutto crudo, prosciutto cotto, stracciatella cheese, truffle spread and arugula. The taste of the fillings was very well balanced with nothing being overpowering. I could taste every single ingredient yet they went together very well! I particularly liked the stracciatella cheese. It added a fluffy and soft texture to the sandwich. The shop was small, cozy and well decorated. There were some available seats when I was there at around 1:30pm. There was no line as the peak lunch hour had passed. They made my sandwich immediately so I didn't have to wait at all.

First time I tried Dante's sandwich. Finally I had a chance to visit here…read more What we had: italiana - prosciutto crudo, prosciutto cotto, stracciatella cheese, truffle spread, arugula Monte cristo - prosciutto cotto, provolone, sundried tomato spread. Italiana was so good. Double Prosciutto!! Truffle flavor was strong and paired with stracciatella cheese. What a great combination! And Arugula was very fresh. Foccacia was very crispy outside and soft inside. One of the best sandwich. I will order again. Monte cristo was also good. Grilled bread was very crispy and nicely pressed. Provolone and prosciutto cotto combination was great, too. Sundried totamto provided great accent. I will order this one again, too. Overall, it was a great sandwich shop. Highly recommend.

Now you can take treats to go however you can gather your thoughts or rest your feet cause plenty of tables & chairs for you to lounge around on. I'm at a counter spot today but yesterday I captured a small table in the window. Fun for watching ladies strut around while sipping my coffee.. Anyways you get the drift. You desire great coffee and local Vancouver vibe you come here. Anything else would be a waste of time.... LOVE YA BREKA KEEP IN REAL!

I've passed Tokyo Katsu-Sand so many times when I'm on the Granville Mall downtown…read more Never really gave it any attention until I saw an IG post from an influencer who was visiting Vancouver from out of town. https://youtu.be/GDP_uBsvH6g She highly recommended the fish sandwich or Fish-Katsu. Gosh it absolutely did not disappoint & I should have ordered another one! The taste of this sandwich was so delicious, I couldn't chew it fast enough. The cabbage, tartar sauce & fish-katsu sauce are delightful together. This food truck is located right at Canada Line subway station - Vancouver Centre Station - main entrance on Georgia at Granville. You'll notice it when you come up the escalator & turn right onto the Granville Mall. Basically it's right near Nordstrom. I don't know if I'll bother with the other sandwich options cause I just love the Fish-Katsu that much. It's a very small simple sandwich. Nothing really fancy to it at all, but the taste utterly rocks. So glad I tried it & I can't wait to go back!

I always wanted to try Tokyo Katsu-Sand. They showed up at the BCIT Food Truck Festival. The first…read moretime I saw them around was at the Taiwanese Bubble Tea festival. I got the gyu-katsu sandwich. I found the sandwich a bit small and for the price, it was pretty expensive. $16 after tax. Don't get me wrong. It was tasty. I found it nothing wow. The beef was cut in a certain way that it remained as one piece to make it easier to season. The gyu katsu is their more popular sandwich. However, it doesn't come with any lettuce or anything other than the beef and sauce. The bread was nothing special. It was basically thin regular bread. It does take them about 10 mins to make the sandwich. In terms of the way they serve it, it was presented to me nicely and the box was made to perfectly fit the sando inside. Not a bad sandwich but it was just pretty pricy.
