meet on main

this place is one of my meatless monday mainstays. why, you ask, do i keep coming back? it's the food. i've never had any items on themenuthat i didn't like. from the hot chiggin things to their burgers, and their salads. even the so-called bacon in my burger tasted like smoky, crispy bacon. their burgers and fries are some of the best out there period - as good as any beef burger as far as i'm concerned. plus, the burgers come with addictive fries and garden salad with super fresh mint vinaigrette. definitely one of my favorite vegetarian restaurants.

but, it seems as though the wait for the food is getting longer and longer each time. even service is touch and go recently. service used to be very attentive.

c'mon man! pick it up, don't let success get to your head. i don't want to downgrade my rating on the next visit.

loved this place! all vegan - but would please a meat eater.menuhas everything you could want and the burgers come with fries and salad. service was great within a busy but workable space. definitely worth a stop in 🙂

such a spacious and pleasant space to eat your lunch. theirmenucontains fractions, which i thought was very interesting. it's amazing vegan food- great for catch ups etc. i ordered "the lovely", which had vegetarian bacon in it- a different taste, but still nice all the while. i really enjoyed whatever sauce they used in their dish as well. the only problem i'd have with this place is that the portion size is a little small. otherwise, vegan or not, definitely try this place out!

i found this place online and it seemed to have great reviews, so i suggested it to avocado!i called to make a reservation but unfortunately was told that they don’t accept reservations. i waited about 15 minutes and took the time to read over themenuoptions, which was perfect as avocado had just arrived.mac n’ cheese, $10.75: i haven’t had the regular version of this dish for so long because it’s dairy death. but this one is vegan so yay!

awesome vegan comfort food restaurant and bar. the buffalo chicken wings are the closest vegan alternative i've ever had to real chicken wings and the burgers are great. plenty of things on themenugiving tonnes of reasons to come back.

okay. this was an experience. so, what did i, the resident fish consumer, think of meet? well, i went in to the place completely blind and on a diet that doesn't really aid me with vegetarian food, especially since themenuwas super starch based (what i'm trying to cut back on). i ended up going for a supergreen salad with a kombucha drink. apparently the kombucha drink contained "raw kombucha" so that tastes super acidic, but the salad made up for it. yes it was drenched in sauce but how can anyone make raw zucchini taste good? meet did that, and exceeded my expectations. i will return when i am not torturing myself by choosing not to eat wheat.

i'm not a vegetarian or a vegan or anything of the sort, but i have a friend who is, so i came here with them. themenuisn't hard to choose from, but it has a lot of unfamiliar things on it. i decided to go with the safe bet though. mac and cheese. i was a bit worried about what vegan cashew cheese would taste like with some kind of fake parmasan on it too, but i was really hungry, so i didn't really care. we also got some nacho fries. they also had some kind of vegan cheese on them. both dishes were surprisingly good. i found myself trying to scrape up the last of my "cheese" of the bottom of my mac and cheese dish at the end. i'm going to come back here and try more of the menu. i'm interested to see what else they can do with fake meat and dairy.

is it me... or are they trying to hide that they are a vegetarian restaurant?

if you stumble upon meet, you will find the decor pleasant with a warm and inviting atmosphere. themenuwill appear standard -- make sure you read the descriptions. things are not what the seem at first glance. meet is listed here as bar cuisine- they are a vegetarian restaurant. lots of options for veggie & vegan people!

looking around i saw other diners having a positive experience. for me it was not so. the wait time to be seated was not long, but another couple was seated ahead of us. bit frustrating, but whatever- not easy running a restaurant on a saturday night. we ended up seated moments later beside that same couple. i'm still baffled as to how they had ordered, eaten and paid before we received our food. i think out server was just checked out.

the fries were great! sour cream for my chilli had no flavour. the chilli was also nice. i had a bite of a burger- not my thing.

eventually- after 4 different servers promised to bring the card machine- we managed to pay.

i shall return on a quiet night with a vegetarian friend to see if the experience is better/ matches what other reviewers have mentioned.

wow. this is the vegetarian place of my dreams. juicy, smokey, and meaty burgers that i just crave. also really good chiggin wings and fried cauliflower. extensivemenuwith burgers, salads, fries and other fun stuff like mac and cheese and stroganoff. hip atmosphere with interesting art on the walls.

best restaurant experience. we were completely taken away by this awesome restaurant. aside from the impeccable service, really cool-hip-alternate decor, great art-music and drinks. themenuwas amazing. everything was delicious and everything this place stands for is amazing. i have never written a review but meet definitely deserves one. will make trips to vancouver just to fine here!

q and i came across a new restaurant called meet on main that opened up on main street. it’s fairly close to sawasdee and i think it took over the vietnamese pho place formerly known as tonkin . it looks like a blend of a chill coffee shop and cafe. the vibe is incredibly hipster and relaxed. big bar, communal table, and smaller tables. awesome.  (q: i think it is quite cute!  it is actually very warm and not that intimidatingly hipster.) really cool space the space is large, and the lighting is fantastic. very main st. hipsterish.  (q: all the waiters/waitresses do fit that main st hipster stereotype look, but they’re incredibly friendly!) it’s a space that’s really built for a casual meal and plenty of conversation. small tables and large communal table theirmenuis great for a place that just opened literally a week or so ago. what makes meet on main different? they designed theirmenuaround comfort food without leaving anybody out – they have amazing dishes for vegans.

love this new place. very open and cozy and staff was all super friendly folks. had the buffalo "chicken" cesar salad and finished with the cookie dough dessert..... just wonderful. the drinksmenulooks very fun. excited to go back and try more!

tvp yuck!. it is really hard to tell what kind of food this restaurant sells because they make no mention of their food philosophy nor do they mention on theirmenuthat they do not server - burgers - they serve texturized vegetable protein. a good vegetarian restarants i have enjoyed had not had this item on their menu. the chicken shaped substitutes tasted good for the first two and then tasted like tvp, soy like fake meat.

the other dish was a sloppy bowl of food that really didn't have much flavour. the corn fritters were good though, although raw in the middle. even though this place has just opened, themenuis a miss! the fries are good though, but not enough to build amenuaround. this concept needs help....sorry.
