Nothing tastes as good as knowing you've just ordered a meal which will go on to raise money to feed someone who is hungry and in need. That's the idea behind Mealshare, a non-profit organisation which signs up restaurants to donate a share of their profits from selected menu items to partnering charities. It's as simple as this: if you pick an item with a Mealshare logo next to it - someone who needs it gets a meal. In Vancouver Mealshare partners with Mission Possible in the Downtown Eastside. Here now, a map of the Vancouver restaurants who work with Mealshare. · Mealshare [Official Site] · All Other Eater Maps [EVAN]
Head to North Van for traditional Greek favourites including keftedes (Greek grilled meatballs) at this locals' favourite handily placed across from the Seabus terminal.
Graze's all plant-based menu incorporates as many locally & organically produced ingredients as possible. There are three Mealshare options here including torta and antipasti.
Locavore champion, chef Andrea Carlson will be offering two Mealshare choices on her menus. Look out for dishes like
buttermilk chicken and
hazelnut gomae.
You can make Mealshare choices on the lunch, dinner and dessert menus at this Gastown favourite. The pork crackling is up for grabs, good luck resisting that.
This Davie Street favourite is tucked away upstairs off the strip, but well worth the journey. Pick between chicken Kathmandu Sekuwa, a mountain green salad or Raayo Ko Saag, a garlic-and-herb take on mustard greens to contribute to mealshare.
Bag a table by the waterside and people-watch the seawall action while choosing between Mealshare menu picks of roasted salmon and asparagus in a dill puree or a beet salad with goat cheese whip.
Partnering with some of Granville Island Market's finest suppliers (and with a particularly fine PNW bottle beer list) decide between the Mealshare picks of tuna tataki or stuffed salmon. Actually - maybe have both.
Chef Trevor Bird and team have made sure that you can make a Mealshare pick no matter when you dine at this W4th favourite, with choices including a brunch berry bowl and dinner Yarrow Meadow duck confit salad.
Check out the rooftop patio with views of the North Shore Mountains and choose between Mealshare plates of porchetta bahn mi or spicy rigatoni pasta. All meat is local from suppliers like Pemberton Meadows Beef and Rossdown Farms chicken, plus eggs are from from Vancouver Island and the seafood is sustainable.
Of course, there's a pie included in the Mealshare options - the spinach and feta pot pie - but there are daily brunch and dinner fresh sheet choices too at Kitsilano's favourite pie-place.
