I can't believe there is no meat. So delicious. I especially like the poutine. Everything tastes good. I give it 5 stars

Everything I could want for a great night out. Amazing gluten-free options - if I'm not mistaken almost everything can be made gluten-free if not marked otherwise. The server was also helpful in explaining this part of the menu, giving us confidence in their food handling practices. All the dishes were perfect. We had noodles, burgers, a great variety that we all shared. The drinks were tasty - I loved my Gin Spritzer. The shots were also great. China Study is sweet and creamy, with a dash of cinnamon. Hidden Dragon has the refreshing lychee liquor with the bite of tequila. Megahits of 2010s pop play in the background - great vibes. read more

Came here by accident and found out the place is vegan after sitting down. The place is located inside the Gaoler's Mews complex. Parking here is pretty awful. The venue is nice and big and airy, with the 2 walls of solid windows. Great for people watching. The place is definitely modern and hipster looking. Maybe because it was a slow day, but staff were a bit lacking. Buddy and I walked in there and the place was empty. We looked around for a few minutes and literally nobody showed up. It was only after we had left and taken a few steps before someone suddenly appeared and motioned for us to come back inside. Although my buddy insisted the place sold burgers, something looked off. I also noticed the sign advertising "fysh tacos". The menu also listed a "chick'un burger". Confirmed with the waitress that the place is indeed 100% vegan. Oops. Oh well, we're here. Might as well give them a try. The chick'un burger is actually a slice of mushroom that has been battered and fried like fried chicken. Not sure if this is supposed to be the case, but the mushroom itself was actually quite bitter. Fortunately the batter masked the taste. The fries are pretty decent here. I also tried the Crispy BBQ burger. This thing tastes more like the run of the mill vegan patties out there in supermarkets. I think it was soy/tofu based. Interestling enough, the burgers actually have a Beyond upgrade for an additional fee, so I imagine the standard burger patties are made in house. I guess the place is worth checking out if one is vegan, but for those who aren't, there unfortunately isn't much for us here. I did hear the coffee here is pretty decent though. Maybe I'll give it a try next time. read more

Sooooooo many menu items! I'm not used to having this much to choose from! We got the Mac & Cheez Burger and the MeeT Burger with poutine fries. They were so good! We split a slice of carrot cake, which was a smart choice because I could have eaten the whole thing by myself. We ended up ordering another slice and the Rocky road ganache tart to go. Everything was really delicious. Our server was very friendly. We got there just as they opened so we expected a little bit of wait for food; it wasn't terrible. The restaurant started filling up, and our server was handling it all by herself. There was another woman working there, but she sat at a table near the bar most of the time and only ran food out a couple of times, so I'm not sure what the deal was there. The service was a bit slow but, again, nothing terrible. The restaurant was a good size, not too small, and the atmosphere was trendy. Their larger tables used Singer sewing machine legs/feet for the table legs. I thought that was very clever. Overall, we had a great experience. I can't wait to come back and try something new when we're in town again! read more

i was visiting in town and was so happy to find such amazing vegan food! i tried the poutine (bc duh) and the korean chicken skewers. both 10/10. the poutine is especially good with their hot sauce. we didn't get a chance to try the drinks but the menu looked amazing. nonalcoholic options also. slow service in terms of them checking on our table but that also may just be a culture difference. the food came decently quick :) will def be back read more

Yelp Review 2023 #250: I hardly get excited over vegetarian restaurants as a matter of fact, I dread going to one. But when you have vegetarian friends, you try to be more open-minded and accommodating. MeeT is a plant-based restaurant with several locations. This one is in Gastown hidden behind some stores. Finding this place using Google Maps was a trip! Sweet Chili Cauliflower: Lightly-battered and tossed in tamarind chili glaze sprinkled with scallions and sesame seeds. 4/5 Oyster Mushroom Kalamari: Lightly-battered and spiced oyster mushrooms with a cucumber dill tzatziki. This is my favorite MeeT dish. Mushroom gives it the umami flavor and the texture similar to real calamari. Excellent flavor and texture 5/5 Poutine: The thing about plant-based cheese is that it just doesn't melt. I've had poutine from different places in Canada. I wasn't a fan of this poutine. 2/5 Noodle-y Thai: Rice noodles, shredded cabbage and carrots, bean sprouts, marinated tofu and broccoli - tossed in Thai-inspired sauce with sesame seeds, cashews, and scallions. Nutty and savory. But after a while, I got tired of eating this. All the crunchy elements start to get boring. I wasn't able to finish my meal. 3/5 Service was great. Location is nice: Gastown where all the shops and eateries are at. It's laidback and food came out quick. read more

Stopped in here for happy hour after walking around Gastown. I liked that it was tucked away off the Main Street so it was a bit more chill. We got some beer, soda and Virgin homemade drinks. All were great! We also ordered a poutine that was on the HH menu. While it was fine, I think we would have been happier with the crispy cauliflower appetizer! We are officially poutine-ed out! Do come and dine in. It's a fun restaurant and the service is great! Highly recommend! read more

Have visited Vancouver twice in the last year and this was the only restaurant that I insisted on visiting both trips. Huge, great ambiance, lovely outdoor seating, and a massive menu. All the vegan food is solid and offers a range from healthy and light to hearty and comforting. Cocktail was also delish. Service was fast and friendly. Have only been for dinner and place was packed both times. read more

Dietary restricted brunchers REJOICE!!! Also fun/hot tip...when all the other brunch spots have multi hour waits, go to a vegan/gluten free spot because all the stubborn meat eating dads of the world would never so there was no wait AND we as vegetarians didn't have to scour the menu for a single option because we could eat ALL OF IT! Their fun drinks were an unexpected highlight for me too. The homemade Yerba mate was perfect, not too sweet and the cinnamon flavors made it warm in a way. I want to try all of their homemade sodas too. AND, not too expensive. The gastown location is such a vibe. It felt like we were eating in a greenhouse! Staff was nice and super personable. Would definitely go back read more

This was our first stop for a meal in Vancouver in GasTown and it did not disappoint. I had a list of places to try that could accommodate gluten free and it was top on my list because I could actually try poutine!! Everything we tried was delicious, the staff were very warm and Knowledgeable and made me feel very comfortable eating there. It is a vegan restaurant so no meat used in any of their dishes, but it's so good, it doesn't matter. I highly recommend for anyone looking to eat safely while travelling. read more

I'm always impressed by vegan cuisine that doesn't make you miss meat and dairy. MeeT does an excellent job of creating flavorful dishes that are satisfying and delicious. I ordered the Steak Tostadas, which are described as "Three tostadas loaded with marinated steak curls, jalapeños, onion, and cilantro, all finished with our house-made sour cream and fresh lime." I'd never had soy curls before and I was blown away at how the texture and flavor was of flank steak. One friend loved her Cheesy pesto spinach dip, but I found it to be a bit bland. My other friend loved his vegan chicken and waffles. Great service, ambiance, and location. Would come back here again. read more

I was traveling through Vancouver with a vegan and this was a top rated option on Happy Cow. I'm really glad she found it! Street parking is available and we found a spot super quick. We were a party of five and were sat instantly. There's an outside patio, but it was very cold so they didn't use it. We ordered a bunch of meals to share so we could all taste a bit of everything. My favorite was the gnocchi. The "ricotta cheese" on top was the best fake ricotta I've every had. My least favorite was the poutine. Could it be because I'm not Canadian and my palate is not fancy enough for poutine? Maybe. But to me it just felt like eating mush and was no different that just drowning your fries in ketchup. If I'm ever back in Vancouver, I will come back. read more

I needed food while I was in Gastown and didn't know where to get it. Looking on Yelp for vegetarian food, I found this place and boy was I happy. 100% vegetarian restaurant that I don't think I would have found without Yelp. We got various dishes and they were all a little bit too salty, but they tasted great. - OYSTER MUSHROOM KALAMARI -- very good! I wish there was a bit more mushroom and that they were in slightly bigger pieces. - CRISPY BBQ BURGER with BUTTER CHIKKIN POUTINE upgrade for $6. The burger was so much bigger than I expected with a FAT patty. The poutine was also really good! - BUFFALO CAULIFLOWER MAC N' CHEEZ so creamy and good. The cauliflower was not crispy like I expected though. - NOODLE-Y THAI - I'm surprised a non-Asian restaurant cooked up some noodles this good. Service was decent. They made some suggestions of what to get and also asked if we had any allergies after we ordered. The only downside was our water cups were empty half the time. I would definitely come back next time I'm in town. read more

MeeT - Burgers Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

My wife and I are visiting Vancouver and while on vacation we seek out unique places and cuisines. We also like to try vegetarian and vegan restaurants as they are often creative with their menu. MeeT in Gastown did not disappoint. The MeeT Burger was a great veggie burger with a generous sized side salad and fries. While I was tempted to try the poutine my lunch was plenty filling as it was. My wife got the buffalo cauliflower mac and cheeze which was delicious and was served in a large bowl with a very generous portion of gluten free noodles. The faux cheese was quite tasty and we inquired if they used Daiya brand "cheese" but our server said they didn't and actually explained how they made it and the main ingredients. He said he makes it himself at home as well. Impressive! So not only are the servers friendly and efficient but very knowledgeable. The restaurant is very casual with interesting touches such as tables made from repurposing antique Singer sewing machines. This is a great place to visit if you want to get a vegetarian and/or a creative meal in a neat part of town. We will definitely be back if we get to Vancouver again which we are hoping to do soon. read more

MeeT!! What a CUTE location! This was our first MeeT experience. And it could have been a meet cute :p sorry for my humor. I know it's bad. I loved the courtyard atmosphere. And our server Shea (I'm so sorry if I spelled that wrong!) Was phenomenal. So attentive and very kind and conversational as well. She gave us some recommendations and we both got the Pineapple Basil Smash to drink (it's SO good!!!) Which is loaded with great flavor and so complimentary to each other. I had The Big Yum: Roasted yams, organic kale, shredded red cabbage, beets, corn, tempeh, Edamame, and Hemp Hearts served on organic brown rice drizzled with super umami tahini sauce. It was EXACTLY what I needed for a feel good meal! I'm not a fan of tempeh so I gave that to my husband but MAN was this bowl delicious. Full of ALL the good things, texture and flavor! I felt amazing after having it and boosted in energy and a full belly! Hubby got The Full English, as he's a Brit and well, he is about as close to the UK in Canada as he can get being so close to Portland Oregon, which is home. It has tofu scramble, home fries, baked beans, a roasted tomato, bacon, sausage, toast and mushrooms. I tried everything and it was all just okay to me but he said it was very good. As you might imagine we have quite different taste in food! Since it was day 1 of vacation, I got a gin Seltzer with elderflower. It was a bit too sweet for me, but that's okay because I shared. And then we got the cookies and cream mousse to share. YUM. Absolutely delicious. Creamy, rich without being overwhelmingly chocolate and the perfect end to our late breakfast/late lunch. In all, a great experience for a "chain" restaurant since we don't have many, especially plant based only, in Oregon. Would definitely go to another MeeT. Or return to this cute spot!! read more

We got here shortly after opening during the week Vancouver was in an arctic freeze...this is only relevant because of how unbearably cold it was in the restaurant during our entire meal! The glass enclosure was not working in their favor this day but I'm sure it creates a lovely ambiance and outside view on a normal rainy Vancouver day. The poor staff was friendly, even moving a heater near our table, but all wearing toques and gloves (as were we). Fortunately the food was all delicious, the jalapeño Mac and cheese donuts were our starter, i had the 'chicken' (oyster mushroom) burger, my friends had the chick pea curry and the 'beef' and broccoli... everything was tasty. Love the selection of home made sodas and kombucha! read more

I'm not vegan, but I'm always open to trying vegan options in the city! A friend and I went for lunch. I had the chickun burger. I was a little disappinted in the chickun, which was oyster mushrooms. It was in tiny pieces that were falling out and a lot of the pieces were just purely fried batter. I think it would've been better if the pieces were chunkier. The fries were also okay, they didn't have any salt on them. I did enjoy their poutine however. I have gotten one of their rice bowls to go and quite liked that. I would visit again because I love the location, grungey feel. Service is always kind as well. read more

Great location. Decor is fun and interesting. Food is heavy, comfort, diner type food. Alcoholic beverages are tiny and expensive and don't seem to have much alcohol. The poutine was delicious yet very salty. The Thai noodles were just ok. The bbq burger was tasty and rich. We ordered dessert to go and when we got home we realized that we had gotten the wrong thing which was so disappointing s as we were really looking forward to trying the cookie with mousse. Staff was friendly and helpful although it took a long time to get them to bring us the Bill so we could leave. And they have us the wrong dessert. I'd come back for the poutine and maybe to try that dessert I missed out on. This is not a place to come for a healthy meal although they do offer salads and some healthier looking bowls so maybe it could be done. I bet non vegans would enjoy this joint as well. read more

Vegan comfort food! It was my last night in BC and I knew I was going to make this one of my great meals! I kind of went overboard and over ordered for one. Ordered the Kalamari oyster mushrooms and the Butter Chikkn Poutine. Man, it was a heavy meal but still really good ! I liked the Kalamari but my stomach can't handle too much deep fried food. I would recommend to try this! Def comfort food! You cannot come to Canada and not try poutine. So glad there was a vegan version to try! I loved their take on it. It was a lot of food and was def comfort food! I'd recommend sharing with someone if you can, lol! Thank you for the experience as my last night in BC! read more

MeeT is my favorite restaurant in Vancouver! They have a huge menu with a variety of different types of entrées, so there's something for everyone. I have brought meat eaters here and they have enjoyed it. Start them off on the amazing poutine as a gateway to plant-based food haha. This time I ordered the classic burger as I am trying to make my way around the menu. It was great. I love their fries and the chipotle mayo tops them off perfectly. The location has somewhat of a dive bar feel but the food is definitely way beyond that. It's a little hidden off the main street, but not hard to find with the signs. Try this place today!! read more

We've tried Meet on Main some time ago and was blown away by the food. Even for our non-vegan friends, the food was delicious and flavourful. We came to this location on a weekend afternoon for brunch/lunch. It wasn't busy when we came, but there was only one main server. Service was decent as she came by to top off our water and asked how our food was. She lacked a little energy like she was friendly when she spoke to us, but seemed to not enjoy her job once she walked away. She brought the card machine over when we paid but just dropped it off and left to attend to other things. Food was a hit/miss. I prefer crispy fries, but the ones here were more thick cut and dense. The burger tasted okay, but the chipotle mayo was "not good" (according to my bf). My breakfast dish was alright. The flavour was a bit one note and every bite tasted the same. I was disappointed that the "grilled corn" in the dish didn't have any char. I do enjoy the freshness of the ingredients. Not a bad option for vegan food, but I wouldn't return to this location. read more

Visiting Vancouver for the second time in three years, I wanted to take my group to MeeT in Gastown following a good initial experience. We got the Sweet Chili Cauliflower ($12.75) and Oyster Mushroom Kalamari ($13.75) to start, followed by the Mighty Mac burger ($18.75) with side salad. To drink we had the Summer Sour ($11.75) and Cucumber Elderflower Spritz ($11.75). Everything was tasty and well-seasoned, although the Kalamari did not have the texture you'd expect (it seemed a bit overdone). If I lived here I could see myself stopping by on a weekly basis. It is also well-situated in the heart of Gastown, making it easy to find bars or dessert after the meal. Notable: All the syrups used for their cocktails are made in-house from organic sugar. read more

Vegan. Nice to be able to order anything without studying the menu. Great food, great service, great neighborhood. Very good selection of beers, wines, and cocktails. All reasonably priced. For the appetizer we knew we could not leave Canada without having a poutine, we shared the Groovy Fries. The Miso gravy worked well with the fries and went down well with the beers we ordered. I would not mind returning just to sample their other poutines. For mains we enjoyed the Steak Tostadas, Big Yum, Ginger Beefless, and Butter Chicken Noodles. All were well seasoned; hard to pick a favorite. We definitely would return. read more

Friendly service and good food. Feels like dining in a fancy greenhouse, perhaps intended by the owner. Cauliflower was crunchy outside and juicy inside. Putine fries were OK, but not my cup of tea. Perhaps dipping may be a better choice, but I should not dictate Canadians how to eat (when you are in Rome...) read more

This place was awesome! Tucked inside a courtyard in Gastown we got here an hour before closing. The server was excellent and the service was timely. I had the gf vegan Mac and cheese and it hit the spot! It was tasty but could have been spiced up a bit more. My fellow diners had a burger and some "beef" item. They enjoyed their meals. I told the server we were going to have desserts and to ensure she inquired well before closing. She did come and do last call for drinks and desserts. I had the gf vegan lemon tart which was nice and not too sweet. My friends had the chocolate ganache tart and cronut. All were totally amazing!! We stayed a few minutes beyond closing but left happy and satisfied. read more

MeeT in Gastown is a vegan restaurant. You need to know this going in. For some reason, after exploring their website and menu, it wasn't clear to me. Yes, the "ma-and-pa-and-the kids" story, as always, suckers me in. So did--as they also usually do--the buzz words like: "healthy," "veggie(s)," "organic," and "gluten-free options." But, after several bites of their "MeeT Burger" (which should say Meet your "Vegan" Burger), I drowned it in a sea of ketchup & mustard in hopes that a lifesaver of flavor and moister could wash it up onto the sands of my palate. It wasn't until I asked the waitress if I had ordered the right burger. It was at that point she awkwardly mentioned, "it, and all the dishes, were vegan." Full disclosure--I'm not vegan; yet, I am open open-minded, willing to experiment and experience new and newer things, and not afraid to be a chef's lab rat. This is where the rating comes in. One, especially if not vegan, or even vegetarian, should try the place. It's a gateway for self-proclaimed backyard BBQ Men with wood, charcoal, and/or propane to "MeeT" (and not "MEAT") in Gastown and try new things. After Enola Holmes brought the evidence necessary to clue me in, the mystery was solved, and this case was closed with a bit of an internal laugh. What I learned is to appreciate the experience and really that, for me, adds a star. The restaurant is in, for lack of better terms, the belly of a side alley. It has as much character as such. It's made the most of its space. The young staff was friendly, alert, and rather happy-go-lucky. The prices on the rather slimmed-down menu were balanced between capitalism and the conscience of patrons' purses. I'm told this is a Vegan's heaven. As a sinner that will eat everything, everywhere, this is a good place to eat with the saints and say a prayer on behalf of the cow I unknowingly saved, at least for the time being. If that walking Whopper could read and write, it would write you and probably thank you kindly for reading this review. read more

I enjoyed our time at meet. I have never had poutine before and the vegan version was very tasty - and the serving size could be an entire meal. They don't skimp on the gravy or cheese curds! My boyfriend drank a Caesar and absolutely loved it. We also got the BBQ burger which was really tasty and it seems like they make their own bbq sauce which was a huge plus. Overall really enjoyed this meal. The only thing for me was with the type of food I thought it was a little pricey for me- however the food is great quality. The atmosphere is so cute and inviting. The wait staff is so kind and caring and checked in all the time which was very nice. I would go back but as a special treat! read more

It starts with a mission. "MeeT's mission is to help transition the mainstream to eating more plant-based foods in a friendly, accepting and engaging venue" (from their website). Not only that, but they also aim to show people that comfort food that connects and nourishes us can be vegetarian/vegan, delicious, made from scratch, and can actually be quite affordable! Hands in the air for all those positive vibes! My hubby and I (both vegetarian/plant-based, often vegan, and work in the health & fitness industry) first discovered MeeT late summer 2019. We were in town for a half marathon, and after a long travel day, we wanted/needed something nutritious, fresh and delicious, and to dine in a place with a fun and inviting atmosphere. We pretty much hit the jackpot here at MeeT in Gastown! Here's what we ordered and would recommend over and over again: 1. The Big Yum 2. Organic Quinoa & Roasted Yam Salad 3. Hoochy Booch Turmeric Ginger Black Pepper Kombucha 4. House-made Ginger Shrub Beer Even if you're not necessarily vegetarian or vegan, you should give this place a try. I doubt you'll be disappointed! In fact, you may just be converted! ;) We loved the food, bevy, service, and ambiance so much, we came back again on our last night in town with a couple friends! And we still talk about The Big Yum Bowl to this day... read more
