About us
Food at our events is vegan but anyone interested in lowering their carbon footprint by eating more plant based meals, even if never planning to go fully vegan, is welcome. For safety reasons, we require members to use **a real first name and face photo** on their profile.
Meatless Meetup is run by a group of volunteer hosts who believe it to be of critical environmental importance that we drastically reduce our meat and dairy consumption. We recommend Earthsave Canada (https://www.earthsave.ca/) for information about the plant based diet.
There are lots of opportunities to volunteer with us, from collecting cash at restaurants to helping out at potlucks. If you want to meet more people at events, get in touch.
N.B. As last minute cancellations and no shows keep wait-listers out, harm our relationship with restaurants, and can even result in our volunteer hosts having to pay for others' meals, we require you to pay for your meal via e-transfer for set menu events if you no show or cancel without adequate notice. Repeated no shows will result in removal from the group.
Meatless Meetup aims to be a transparent, safe space for all. If you experience any form of harassment, please contact a host immediately.

And with ten to a table, you get to sample a small amount of a lot of dishes at a great price.

7. Spicy Green Beans
8. Deep-fried Crispy Vegetarian Drumstick
9. Deep-fried Veggie Cuttle Fish (new item!)$22 CASH ONLY, CASH ONLY, CASH ONLY. Did we mention cash only?
This is a set menu. Substitutions are not possible but you can skip a dish and still have enough for lunch.
We'll be seated at large round tables, approximately 10 to a table. Upon arrival, check where to sit then pay the host at your table in CASH once seated.
N.B. Please note, to maintain our positive relationship with the restaurant, those cancelling with less than 24 hours notice will be expected to e-transfer payment for their meal to the host.
Those not answering the RSVP question will be removed but are welcome to reregister and answer the RSVP question. Regulars without first timer guests will be removed.
Buses stop right nearby and there's plenty of free parking, but it can take a while to find, so give yourself plenty of time to ensure you get there on time as we cannot guarantee seats can be held long if the restaurant is busy.
One last thing: CASH ONLY. :-)
