I was surprised (and glad to see) how busy they were. The food was awesome. I had the Chickun Parm sandwich. Excited to try more dishes at one of their Vancouver locations!!

I'll use this review to showcase the Brunch options that we enjoyed, and plan a separate post to showcase the dinner options.
The restaurant is gorgeous, just so gorgeous, I love the playful deep red over tones dispersed throughout. From the moment you enter the restaurant, with just the ambiance and decor alone, your dining experience is elevated. But don't worry, it doesn't stop there, it just continues to get better. Between all of us, we ordered the Protein Power! Skillet, the Lobster Benny (not meant to be a version of faux lobster, just to avoid any confusion), a side of Sunny Side Up Yo! Egg, and an order of Pistachio Créme French Toast.
The French Toast dish was super rich and decadent and so unique with the Pistachio Créme. The Benny and Power Skillet, respectively with various combinations of some or all of the following .. Poached Yo! Egg, Cabbage, Arugula, Black Beans, Tempeh, both including Potatoes with a creamy hollandaise sauce and so much more, each dish having a great depth of flavor, texture and ingredients, leaving you craving for each next bite. With the Lobster Benny, you can really make that "one more bite" magic happen .. if you so desire, by ordering a double size instead of a single.
Finally, there's the side of Yo! Egg Sunny Side Up. This really goes a long way towards capturing the spirit and essence of the namesake. One ** warning ** and word to the wise, and you'd be wise to heed my warning here lol. If you decide to order the side of Sunny Side Up, you'd do best to approach this dish with the utmost of caution by breaking the yolk tenderly and thoughtfully, which I say because this is the vegan yolk that *will* fight you back and .. cover a good distance (in launch and upon landing) in doing so lol. If you don't believe me, look at the remnants of the vicious attack that was launched at my smiley face shirt. I assure you, the shirt was clean and not stained pre-yolk attack lmao. In fact, the attack was so focused and on point, rumor has it .. it caused my lovely smiley face to melt as a consequence.😄:P

MeeT was very clean inside and had very friendly and welcoming service.
The poutine was great!
Mac and cheese burger was ehh. Wouldn’t order it again. The Mac was very runny and flavorless and the burger patty tasted very unseasoned. The Thai noodle bowl was delicious! The portion sizes were great as well!

Luv the new yoegg addition to the menu!

Have always wanted to check this spot out and so glad I did. Wish I didn't wait as long as I did. The food is fabulous. Such a different twist to the restaurant industry. So nice going to a place where everything on the menu is carted to every style of eating.
Dietary restrictions: Vegan, vegetarian and gluten free. Don't quote me, but I believe there were also dairy free options.

We ordered takeout from Meet on Blanchard, and the process was super simple and efficient. The wait time wasn’t long at all, and the food was fantastic! We're so grateful to have such fun and delicious vegan options in town. We'll be back for more! Highly recommend!

Do not order takeout from here, portions have changed and are minuscule, yet prices are so high it feels outrageous.
I ordered a soup with side bread (it was burnt) and the soup was so tiny with barely any vegetables in it yet that combo cost me 16$. On top of that, the kale ceasar salad was meagre compared to the one served in house -- the takeout bowl it came in was barely filled to the middle. 1/3 of salad for 17.75$.
I understand the never ending cost of running a restaurant and especially sourcing ingredients that follow Meet's values but this was insulting.
edit: despite writing two follow up emails to the address mentioned in the reply I have yet to receive an answer :’)

The server was very friendly and helpful. The food was very good. It was our anniversary and first time there, and we were given a discount for desserts. The manager also came out and we had a great talk about vegan food as we've just recently started eating more plant-based meals. We will definitely go back and recommend the restaurant to our friends.
Came from the Lower Mainland to this wonderful place to get my favorite Thai noodles, and my boyfriend had his mac and cheese. The food is alright; the Thai noodles I ate were a little hard. Tastes are okay. Excellent service. Was greeted with a friendly staff, the food was coming fast, and the restaurant atmosphere was cozy.

We were going to go to a posher restaurant to celebrate our anniversary but decided we'd rather go to a full-on vegetarian restaurant rather than just have a fancy restaurant's one vegetarian option. Meet is a very casual restaurant with quite a millennial vibe and has an excellent and varied fully vegetarian menu. Service was excellent. The "Vegetarian Calamari", which I think should just be called "Battered Oyster Mushrooms", was the best dish we had.

Really enjoyed it. Recommend the mushroom calamari and the gnocchi.

Dietary restrictions: Celiac/Gluten Free. A really great place to go if you are celiac. Just tell them you are celiac and they know all the substitutions and they take preparing gluten free food very seriously. Have been going to Meet on Blashard/Main/Gastown for years and have never been disappointed.
