We have tried Meet in various locations. For vegetarian meals, they are flavor heavy. We enjoy everything that is being offered and like the decor. The cauliflower is a must try!

Amazing food and service. Visiting from Toronto, and we came here three times during our trip!! Never disappointed, and highly recommended from friends; we’re so happy we came here. Justin and Alice were so kind and the hostess definitely gave us a friendly welcome. I can’t wait to come back to Van just to eat here again!! Fair prices and great portions.

Kind Kafferep (5 Stars On Google)

So many healthy and delicious food options here. They have soups, bowls, salads, coffees, teas, and more at this location. I got a lentil soup and an everyday bowl. Both were very filling and satisfying. I love going there and knowing I’m getting good nutrition everytime. The restaurant was clean and simple with plenty of seating. Great option to get it ordered through Uber eats or to grab lunch in person. Very good food.

Turtlekeeper Designs (4 Stars On Google)

Nice clean spacious location. Plenty of varied seating (twos, fours). Helpful staff when I asked a question. Portions are fair. I always love the Market Side choices. Came with two other people and they enjoyed their food as well.

It’s a very posh spot in Yaletown Vancouver with great food and lovely atmosphere. I’m not a meat eater but there are plenty of seafood and veggie options. It’s high end with proper serving. You can watch locals and tourists. Good Friday night vibe.

Highly impressed after my first visit.

Food:

The Thai peanut satay is so fresh and flavorful. Exceeded my expectations.

The caramelized oat bar also tested good and was perfect for satisfying my sweet craving.

The peanut butter chocolate chip cookie I very much enjoyed. Some may not be a fan of the texture but I liked it.

Service:

I think I was served by Marina? (I’m horrible at names) who was such a delight! Super sweet and had great energy. I would totally go back here just to see her because energy is so uplifting it’s contagious.

Super yummy! We virtually swung by for a quick lunch bite via UberEats and loved it! All the food was well presented in compostable or reusable packing and utensils.

The Crunchy Kimchi and Miso Tofu was highly anticipated, my usual go to is the Thai Peanut Salad (Vegan) and both are flawless.. superb, very fresh and vibrant flavors with a great well rounded portion of wholesome ingredients. The Kimchi was also pretty up to scratch and a nice touch. The Miso Tofu was dope and cooked and seasoned to perfection for an awesome texture and exciting flavor. I’ve had Field and Social a few times now, the salads are always consistently rad in tasting and presentation, I know I can trust and rely on them when I know what I’m craving.

I can’t wait to go again and try some other of their exciting and quirky vegan options! This place is a solid go-to, albeit more on the expensive side for salads usually.

Support local businesses!!

We went to Chop for my son’s 18th birthday. We had gone to Chop Richmond a few years back and it was a great experience and I suggested to my son to try the one in Vancouver. What a great experience we had at Chop Downtown Vancouver. Our waitress was very welcoming and friendly. We ordered some appetizers and before we received them they came to give us a free sample appetizer of their crusty bread and goat cheese dip. That was delicious and a nice surprise. The other appetizers were great too.

Our dinner was amazing. We even had dessert. Such friendly staff and attentive. It’s the best restaurant service I have received in a long time. The atmosphere was mellow and inviting. Definitely recommend Chop Vancouver. At the end of our meal they discovered it was my son’s birthday and gave him a Chop birthday card signed by all the staff with a coupon. They help make his birthday extra special. Thank you Chop!

The service is very good. These people know how to run a restaurant and they train their staff well. I have never had to deal with a server with an attitude. It just doesn’t exist here (in my opinion of course). Try traveling to other places in the world and you will soon see the difference. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Also the food is of a very good quality. Always fresh and there are vegan and vegetarian options.

Nadine Cetinski (5 Stars On Google)

Excellent service and delicious meals provided at a decent price. Would definitely return. Great atmosphere and ambiance.

Michelle was fantastic to work with and helped me accommodate a variety of dietary preferences. She had great suggestions and made the whole process very smooth. The food was also great – my stomach is usually sensitive and I felt no bloating afterwards (or my family who has the same issues as me). Would recommend both the cafe and the catering – the breakfast burritos are very filling and the sandwiches are great!

Clayton Tait (5 Stars On Google)

I’ve frequented both locations on Railway and Granville St for lunch/coffee for a few years now. The sandwiches and salads are great. Staff are personable and efficient, even at peak times with eventual lunch lineups. The egg and cheese bun is a personal favourite

Food was delicious. Liked that they offer 3.99 to top up your noodles. Means you can continue to enjoy the broth. Clean, not heavy, and refreshing flavours.

As always, my reviews are based on personal experiences and interactions. For the first time, I have a few words to share about a place. I stumbled upon this health bar by chance while taking a walk and was drawn in by a beautiful picture of a smoothie. I decided to give it a try, and I was pleasantly surprised by how great it tasted. The ingredients were natural and healthy.

The service was exceptional, as I always emphasize. The staff were lovely and had great personalities, showing genuine care in what they made for their customers. I will definitely stop by again during my next visit to Vancouver.
