Meat & Bread

Highly recommend because this place is amazing! Food was outstanding and the service was on point. Great for a quick bite or to sit and chat for a while. The porchetta is always a winner, we also go the feature sandwich which was the Ruben and that was just amazing! Soups are fresh and delicious as well.

Decided to try this place for lunch. I had the kale Caesar salad. It was really good. The dressing amount was perfect. I also tried the Mac and cheese pulled pork. It was good. Just really heavy (as expected). I likely will not have it again and stick to their more healthier sandwiches… the chicken one. Overall the food was good. The only negative is that they do not wear gloves when preparing the food and I did not see the employee wash her hands right before preparing my sandwhich. As humans we have a tendency to touch different areas of our faces regularly so that kinda grossed me out as I don’t know where her hands have been. And yes, I’m aware it’s the same at some restaurants. I guess I just prefer not to see it so I don’t think about it.

We had the Porchetta sandwiches and oh my god. They were so good! Everyone was really sweet and kind to us too 😊 Would definitely recommend!

Excellent customer service with a small, straightforward menu offering delicious options! I ordered the Buffalo chicken and tomatoe soup, highly recommended

This is a sandwich place with different options to try, and their bread is the highlight of the moment. It's rare to find a good sandwich around Metro Vancouver, so you can feel confident that you might find an option you like at Meat & Bread. I enjoy their Porcetta Sandwich with a piece of their pork skin.

I feel the quality of this location is not on par with others. Portion is smaller, I was looking forward to eating a messy lunch - meat falling out of in the between the sandwich bread and its juice getting on my hands - it didn't happen. The meat was not as juicy and flavourful and very few pieces of crunchy skin in the sandwich. The sandwich was a bit dry. Bread was not warm enough hence a bit tough to bite. The dipping sauce is now $2, it used to be $1 - that's 200% price spike. The cashier girl was kind enough to offer adding some mustard or hot sauce in my sandwich when I told her it used to be $1 (they are both dipping sauces that you purchase separately). The $5 kale caesar was not bad, really small portion. I won't buy again.

The highlight of the meal was definitely the bread; it was so fresh and crispy, it practically melted in my mouth. However, I found the meat to be quite salty and could have benefited from more flavor and less salt. Despite this, the service was great and the ambiance was cozy and inviting. If the kitchen could work on balancing the flavors a bit more, this restaurant would be a fantastic choice for anyone looking for a satisfying meal.

I found it over priced for what we got. Nothing spectacular. We ordered three different sandwiches and all were made pretty poorly. They also had to redo a grill cheese after burning it quite badly. This a grill cheese we’re talking about. Most middle school aged kids can pull this off. There’s only one long table to sit too which is horrible if you plan to sit and eat. We won’t be back, but do wish those that attend a better experience than we had.

I had the meatball sandwich. Very good. Not too big, perfect size for lunch after a long walking tour in the morning. Service was fast and friendly.

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 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.

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

I had their chicken shawarma and it was DELICIOUS!! Full of flavour with pickled turnips, cilantro, salsa... Wow! The number of ingredients with all the flavour.. worth it!

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!

Pretty good sandwich chain that we don't have in Toronto! Stopped by to get a late lunch and I loved how simple the menu was. Non of that gourmet, bistro, crisp onions, additional toppings bs - ain't nobody got time fo' that. I went with the porchetta and to be honest, not being a huge fan of pork - I actually liked it a lot! It was filling and the bread was definitely fresher than a lot of these sandwich shops. Lots of avocado in there as well. I was so hungry that I probably blacked out while eating it like a feral animal near the docks after. It was quick and a good meal overall! Not a huge fan of the new tipping culture where you feel obligated due to the machine asking you to tip when you pay and you feel like an asshole if you select 0%. Tipping has gotten out of hand, especially for a takeout service (imagine tipping at subway??) but everywhere else is doing that too so...

This place is outstanding for a sandwich shop everything is delicious, a little pricy but it's on par with the industry in these unstable times

This place sells made to order gourmet boxed lunches, and there is a nice plaza with tables right outside. I had the porchetta and bf had the buffalo chicken. Both were pretty darn good. Only thing I would change is the soda selection. It had gourmet (frou frou) local sodas, but sometime I just want a cold coke. Overall, a very pleasant place to have lunch on a nice day. Would definitely recommend this place.

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.

We had the special of the week which was a pulled pork with dill sauce. It was good, but maybe a little too much dill flavour for my taste.

(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!

Got the porchetta sandwich after reading all of the positive reviews and was disappointed. While the meat was tender, it lacked flavor and tasted like they forgot to add salt. The sauce also didn't add any flavor to the sandwich. Maybe I went on an off day? Won't be back.

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.

This place is SO GOOD. We got the grilled cheese with their tomato fennel soup, and some type of cheesesteak sandwich with strawberry ginger beer. A little messy but very worth it. Perfect portions for the price.

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!!!

This place is super delicious! Everyone raves about the Porchetta, which is so on point, delicious pork and yummy craklins on the sandwich. That said, the meatball sub is also next level! Great lunch spot!

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.

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.

Good size and good quality ingredients for a sandwich. Wether you are grabbing lunch to go or sitting down for lunch it is worth lining up for. Only open till 4pm . The porchetta sandwich lives up to the hype.

Good lunch, big portion. Portcello sandwich for me and the tomato soup for wifey. Both very tasty.

Less options than the other (original?) Meat and Bread location on Cambie a few blocks away. Though the concept and food is the same, I feel this location lacks the atmosphere that the Cambie location has - and by contrast this place just feels super bland and boring. It only has one table for people to eat in, and the place is so small it is easy for the line to go out the door, so get there early during lunch rush hour. The food wasn't bad, but (and maybe this is just the atmospheric difference), I didn't enjoy it as much as from the other location. Overall still good food, and would still recommend though if you are in the area.

Real talk, friends: their porchetta sandwich and the buffalo chicken sandwich both give me life. Everybody loves a good sammie and Meat & Bread specializes in just that. They have a few regular menu items as well as a feature menu that changes often. The bread they use is the perfect blend of soft and crispy, the fillings are always generous, and the sandwiches are always delicious. Like I mentioned above, I love the porchetta and buffalo chicken sandwiches, but you can't go wrong with the meatball sandwich as well. Really though, you can't go wrong with any of them. This location is smack dab in the heart of downtown Van, so expect it to be busy, most especially during the work rush. No matter how busy it is, the wait has never been longer than 15 minutes to get in, order, and get out. There aren't a lot of tables inside, so I've always loved grabbing my sandwiches to go. Right now I believe they're doing take out and delivery from their Broadway location, so you can still get your juicy sandwich fix! Thanks for all the sandwich fixes, Meat & Bread!

It only took me several years before I came here, long after the opening of the original Meat and Bread in Gastown. I thought I would be excited to try the much lauded porchetta sandwich. However, the more I read about it, the more I hesitated and the decision was to stay away from it. Why? Because it looks like Chinese roast pork on bread. Seasoned differently but much the same. Conversations with other Asian Yelpers confirmed it. Chinese roast pork on bread. One sunny day, Kenneth N and I decided to come here. Let's give it a shot. Corned beef with Sambal Gherkin Mayo, Pickled Cabbage, Dijon. As far away from roast pork as possible. The corned beef was good. I'd say very good with the way that it was dressed. The bread was, unfortunately a bit of a letdown. Can't say I'm a fan of it. Indoor and outdoor seating is available and the line moves relatively fast, even at about 1PM.

Meat and bread is always a good idea. I've always dropped by this location whenever I'm in downtown on weekdays when they're open and I could honestly say that I haven't had a bad experience so far. However, my husband has encountered their off days where the bread was cold and chewy and the meat was bland and dry. It still hasn't stopped ne from going though. In my case, I always order my go-to sandwich which is the porchetta with mustard and extra salsa verde. This has never failed to make me full and very satisfied when I need my dose of pork and crispy skin. The salsa verde goes really well with the porchetta and their homemade mustard makes everything great! Lunch rush happens since it's in the heart of the business district but don't let the line scare you, it moves quickly and the staff at Meat and Bread work like a well oiled machine. I've brought my tourist friends here on separate occasions and they enjoyed it a lot too. Their porchetta is a must try! Add mustard and extra salsa verde for a burst of flavours.

Very good location away from the busy Gastown area. Easy to find from the Skytrain Waterfront location. Nice modern appeal, courteous staff, and lots of friendly Canadians. Porchetta was perfect. Braised Beef from Fraser Valley was excellent. Corned Beef was a winner. Ginger ale was very crisp and yummy on a hot summer day! Nothing to take home so we ended up pickup up takeaway at their original location.

Came by yesterday for a take-out lunch around 12:45. Meat + Bread is just a few blocks away from my work near Burrard on Pender. This was my second visit to this location and at the time they had a few people ahead of me. I was greeted as I walked in and my questions were promptly answered by the staff member closest to the door, who also took my order. I must say, their process is like clockwork. From taking the order to food prep to the cashier station, it's amazing to watch them in action. This time I ordered their special of the day - a roasted turkey sandwich with spinach, some mayo and a few other ingredients. The pricetag - just a hair under $10. Walking back to the office, I was struck with how cute their to-go box is. It's the perfect size for their sandwiches. That said, the sandwich is small. I found a good amount of meat in the sandwich, but that considered, I still would not call this a filling meal. I know they use good quality ingredients, and I give them props for really tasty bread that is not too heavy. But for $10, even downtown, I expected more - a small side-salad would do the trick. I'm not even sure the special was six inches in length. I found the special tasty, but not mind-blowing. Perhaps I'm setting the standard too high, but when I think of other sandwich places(albeit not direct competitors to M+B - Quiznos & Mr. Sub for instance), you can get much more for your buck. It's almost the Cartem's donuterie argument here - if you're charging twice as much(or more) for your product, it better be that good. I will mention in all fairness that I am NOT allowed to eat pork, so that might colour my opinion of this restaurant. Ymmv! 5/5 for Customer service + efficiency 4/5 for Location 2.5/5 for Pricing 3.5/5 for Taste 2/5 for Quantity 3/5 Overall

This place is absolutely amazing. They literally offer only like 5 types of sandwiches (one of which is a daily) but they're all, so, damn, good. I don't usually even like sandwiches but the bread is fresh, meat delicious and the flavors and textures are just SO on point. We got a corner beef and a porchetta, both were sooooo good. The store itself is pretty cute too, with some outdoor some indoor seating. Packaging is clean, modern, and easy to carry. Just all around a great place! Come by this place and get a sandwich - you won't regret it!

We were really looking forward to Meat and Bread after doing some hiking at St. Mark's Summit. Came in, ordered two sandwiches. - porchetta - probably their most well known sandwich, I thought the flavor was okay. The cracklings are a nice touch, but the porchetta itself didn't have those fatty bits and the salsa verde wasn't acidic enough to cut through the meaty flavor. - roast beef - I think this was the daily special. Braised beef, with slaw. Definitely a meatier taste, but I enjoyed the fresh slaw on top. - mushroom soup - Very flavorful, but a little overspiced for my taste. I also thought there was too much bread! The place itself is small and modern, the communal table inside has about 8 stool height seats that don't move, and there's a picnic table outside. Everyone is very friendly though!

I'd been dying to try this place during the work week but it was always too far for me. The stars finally aligned when I ended up in this area during lunch time. It was just after 1:00 and there was a line just out the door. The wait was short. All the staff behind the counter work very efficiently. I ordered the Porchetta as that seems to be the most popular choice. I stay in line until I get to the cashier, and at that point I am given my sandwich in a box and I pay. It's like a factory line. Definitely a good lunch spot for the working crowd. But for a regular customer it may seem slightly rushed. With sandwich in hand, I head outside to find a seat in the sun. I was so excited to finally try this famous sandwich, but to my disappointment, the sandwich lacked sauce and the meat was dry. The meat was salty and on the tough side. There were some crunchy bits of pig skin which were delightful but not enough to redeem the sandwich for me. The pork reminds me of Chinese roast pork ("siu yook"), but the hard pieces that are usually left at the end. Also, the sandwich was literally Meat and bread. No veggies. No frills. I only took a few bites of the sandwich before I decided to pack up and head back to my office, where I keep a bottle of hot sauce. Once I got my hands on that hot sauce, I went ham with it on the sandwich and ate the rest. It was better with more sauce, but I likely won't be back for the Porchetta. I may give other sandwiches a try... though I won't be in a rush to come back anytime soon sadly.

I was extremely excited to try this place and unfortunately I could have waited. When I arrived there was a line out the door but it moved rather quickly. It was 1pm so a little after lunch hour and to no surprise the special sandwich of the day was sold out. I kindly asked the worker what sandwich was the best and she advised the porchetta was the most popular. They also had buffalo chicken and corned beef. Please note the line is sort of like a subway but the sandwiches come as is so no adding extra something here or there. My sandwich came in a cute little white box and the ordering and paying was extremely efficient. There are little high top table and chairs for you to eat as well as outdoor seating. It was a bit chilly outside so I decided to take it home to enjoy. Sadly, the pork lacked flavor even with salsa verde sauce on it. The pork and bread was also extremely dry. I attempted to enhance the flavor by putting some cheese and hot sauce on it but you can't put lipstick on a pig and expect it to change. On a brighter note, the service and employees were nice and seemed to enjoy what they do. All in all, I wouldn't recommend this place and would not return.

Good news is Meat & Bread is open for takeout only. I quickly stopped by for the porchetta sandwich. Nice and juicy and that crispy skin all together makes a great sandwich! Must try if you haven't yet.

My favourite sandwich here is definitely the porchetta! The tender pork and crispy skin provide a nice taste and texture contrast and the salsa verde sauce combines everything so well. Perfect firmness of the bread as well. Soooo good!

Got their special of the day with pulled pork and black beans - a "chipotle" sandwich. They definitely don't skimp on sandwich filling because as I was eating it, everything in the sandwich kept falling out! A bit messy, I'd say, but delicious nonetheless. All of the components of the filling were full of flavor. Prices were on point, too, makes this a great lunch spot in the heart of downtown. There isn't much seating here so don't expect to be able to eat at the restaurant - you'll probably need to take it to go.

After hearing about this place from my husband (who works downtown and has been here several times) I was really excited to try it. Meat and Bread and that it was! When we arrived at the Pender location there was a line, was not surprised because its Friday lunch time. The line up went pretty fast, 10 minutes later I was in front and choosing from 4 different sandwiches. I choose the porchetta, come on now you don't come to "meat and bread" and not have the meat! The sandwich came in a ciabatta bread which I like. The meat was juicy needed a little more flavor maybe salt? But it was still pretty good, my favourite part of it was when you bite into a crispy pork skin, yumm-o! The crispy texture really added to the sandwich. It was very filling, my husband had the "Daily Special" and it was a spicy chicken of some sort ( I forgot.. I tend to not pay attention to other peoples food) but I did have several bites and it was too Delish! More flavorful than my sandwich, but it didn't have the texture I like in the porchetta.

(I'm not exactly sure who "they" are, but...) They say the bread and the meat are equal players in the quest for a scrumptious, mouth-watering sandwich. Meat and Bread has got this down pat. The ciabatta was perfectly warmed, giving a soft texture with a hint of crunch from the crust. The porchetta was amazingly tender, not overly salted or too fatty, and incredibly flavorful. The cracklings add the perfect texture to bring this experience up one notch. The only reason to take away a star would be their horrible punctuation (see picture of the menu)! But, since this is a review about food and customer service, I digress! In all seriousness, though, Meat and Bread is a top notch, 5 star sandwich place in the heart of downtown Vancouver. Coming here for a quick bite is a no-brainier.

For the past 10 months, my office has faced down into the courtyard of Meat and Bread. Coworkers have come back to the lunchroom with their little white boxes; there is always a lineup outside (even in the rain and snow!); on sunny days the courtyard is full of nice looking people ok their lunch breaks looking happy with these little white boxes in the laps. So I finally gave in. Pros: - the lineup, while deceivingly long, gors by pretty fast. This is probably because... - they only have 4 types of sandwiches on the menu: the porchetta (what they are known for), corned beef, veggie, and a daily special. One soup. one salad. i like this concept. - Prices are very reasonable. $7-9 for a pretty hearty sandwich - service and staff are super friendly Cons: - Everyone said you HAVE to have the porchetta so I did. The crackling pork was delicious BUT with the salsa verde sauce made it quite salty. Too salty. - The Italian sausage soup, while tasty, just reminded me of a runny spaghetti sauce. Unfortunately, because of all the hype, I did expect more from the food. This won't deter me from going back again...but it did make for a lackluster first experience. Looking forward to updating my review soon!

Awesome braised beef sandwich! Can't wait to get back to try one of their other sandwiches! The slaw and other toppings all mesh together and compliment the braised beef! Oh, I almost forgot the bread is delicious!!!

My go to sandwich place when I feel a hankering a freshly made sandwich. This location is quite close to my work so it's the main Meat & Bread that I go to, however, quality and quantity is quite consistent across the board at all locations. My favourite option is the porchetta. I've had the other options and while they are delicious, the porchetta is the one I return to time and time again. It's always stuffed full of that roasted pork with dispersed pieces of crispy skin and the quality and taste of the sandwich is the same, year after year. There aren't a lot of tables to sit and eat at this location but it works for me because I usually take it back to work with me. The assembly line of the operation is a nice smooth transition from ordering to paying to getting your food. If I remember correctly, there are usually 2-3 sandwich options to choose from so it's not overwhelming in deciding what you want if you're indecisive.

I have to give this 5 stars since I want to learn how to make this porchetta sandwich to impress my friends. I would also like the verde dressing and a straw! I have been to both Meat and Bread locations here in Vancouver. I prefer this location simply because of the environment. The original location is a bit sketchy and is impossible to finding parking. The porchetta sandwich changes the way you think about a roasted pork sandwich, including a Cuban. The panzanella side salad was good, but I would have liked more veg and a little less crouton. They offer a great ginger ale, called sparkmouth. I have not see that anywhere else. What did I learn today? Eat outside and people watch. It is good times.

Best sandwich Ive had in a long time. I had the signature porchetta and salsa verde. The ciabatta bread was warm and crispy and stayed as such until the end. But the star of the show is the yummy porchetta meat with crackling and salsa verde This not to miss out on!

Came here to see what the hype was all about, now that the lineup has finally died down a bit. Parking isn't too available here, unless you feel like throwing money away at the City. The shop definite looks trendy, with the precast panels and the HVAC piping clearly visible. Pretty interesting when you consider that this would've had the opposite effect a few decades ago. The large glass panels are definitely cool-looking though. For seating, there are 8 seats inside (1 long table), and 2 picnic benches outside. The simplicity is quite nice. On one side is a guy hacking up meat, while there's another guy managing a stack of buns. Farther down the assembly line, there's the checkout girl and 1 other staff. They only make 4 types of sandwiches ($7-9) too, so it's not too hard to clean out this place. Oh, they also have soup ($4). Feeling like a baller, I had the daily special ($9). Mole pulled pork (how's that different from non-mole-pulled pork?), pickled fennel, witlof (what's that?), and parsley cilantro aioli. Before picking it up, this is where my first/only complaint is. whatever they put in there makes the sandwich leak. My box was dripping by the time I picked it up. If you're the owner, please try to adjust the recipe accordingly. The box was cute looking though. As for the taste? Pretty freaking good. The ingredients were very fresh, with the right balance and kick. I'm drooling just thinking about this thing. Oh yes. Not sure why the other Yelpers aren't happy, but this place makes a pretty decent sandwich in my books. It's better than many other similar shops in the area.

3 choices of sandwiches and some other sides. Easy to order and super fast service. $9-$10 per sandwich. Grab a sandwich and have a nice lunch outside in downtown Vancouver. Go for: quick to pick-up and great quality sandwiches Don't go for: you can probably buy a whole combo meal elsewhere for 1 sandwich here

Place is nice.. love the assembly line set up, its quick and painless. There is only a handful of menu options which I also like and the options are creative and food trend forward. I had the buffalo chicken with carrot slaw and ranch on my last visit ...and I'll be honest it was underwhelming mainly due to the bread and the proportions. The bread (same bread they use for all sandwiches) has a chewy crust which isn't great when the fixens are saucy...a bunch of the chicken and sauce just come out on all sides after the first bite even despite using my best messy sandwich eating technique. Bad choice of bread IMO. Also not enough slaw... meat to slaw ratio is paramount !!!! and they must be using a 6:1 where I prefer more slaw..like 3:1 or even 2:1 (meat to slaw). Couldn't taste it at all... might as well have been light mayo instead of slaw. I wanted to like it more so bad..

Sandwiches are tasty and worth the hype, despite the small size. If Meat and Bread were located elsewhere, it would be overpriced, but given the location, the prices are fine. I downed mine so quickly that I admittedly forget exactly what I had. But it was distinct and tasty. I just remember that I ate it outside in 8 degree weather because the seating inside is cramped.

Grabbed lunch here with co-worker and boyfriend during a short timeframe, meat and bread was quick and perfect for the occasion! We had their Today's special and it was great. Pulled pork? with bean sprouts and other veggies as toppings. The bread was crunchy, soft and light! Overall, love the location, the sandwiches here.

My first time last week. Great decor, great sandwiches, very flavourful/ Staff were friendly and polite. wish they had another option for the bread they use.

The special with chicken poutine and stringshoe potatoes and cheese curds is amazingly juicy. Also tried the porchetta with cracklings, which was good but a little dry.

On a usual rainy day in Vancouver, its always nice to snuggle in to Meat & Bread and enjoy a sandwich. I been here several times, but I always order the Porchettta so going to review this sandwich. Although I'm sure the other sandwiches are also fantastic too! The pork is tender and crispy and worth every bute. Friendly staff to welcome you from order to cashier. Hours for this store is for the busy downtown worker, and opened only really recommended for lunch on weekdays.
