Went there after building a good appetite by walking in stanley park. Ordered their famous porchetta and their daily special which was a meatball with pesto and spicy tomato sauce. Ordered a soup and a salad to go with that.... Only one thing to say.... Best sandwich ever! Very tasty. Very tender meat. Loads of meat. Good bread. What more... More

Great athmosfere and decor, I like the I like the idea of sharing a big table, as long as we have good space! And we did! The branding is really cool! Porchetta reminds me of... More

I had passed by this restaurant several times due to the line up out side. Frankly this was worth the wait. I saw them featured on DDD's and had to try it out. It did not disappoint. Such a simple menu, Several sandwiches, I had to try their Porchetta: Salsa Verde sandwich which was a good sandwich for $8.00. It... More

We took the sky train down to find out what everyone was raving about. There was a line up out the door, but it moves quickly and we were able to sit at a table inside. Four sandwiches were available; Porchetta, crispy crackling pork with salsa verde, (this seemed to be the most popular) Corned Beef with sambal gherkin mayo... More

This is an 'experience' and you feel about as hip and you can get being in line for a sandwich at Meat & Bread. Gorgeous food, great staff, lots of passion and beautiful restaurant. And amazingly efficient system for seating (I never thought I would get a seat but it miraculously appeared when I finished paying). Great concept and wonderful... More

We enjoyed the flavourful sandwiches washed down with a lovely local ale while sitting at the shared long table. I guess I can understand why some reviews feel it has been over-hyped, but the simple premise worked for us!

This literally is a "meat and bread" place. Don't expect anything fancy, just good food with good ingredients. I had the porchetta, especially good with the crispy cracklings... also had the cauliflower and bacon soup, which was also excellent. There's a limited menu... I think they have two regular sandwiches and a special and a couple of soups available. But,... More

We ate here after reading all the reviews and aren't disappointed. We arrived early for lunch (although the queues had already started to form) and the service was very quick and efficient. We had a beef special and a porcetta. Both delicious and fresh with plenty of filing. Not much seating but definitely a place to go if you want... More
