Feedback from past guests:

“Mæst Food offers one of the most thoughtful plant-based dining experiences in Vancouver — seasonal, creative and deeply considered.”
— Alicia, Vancouver

“Tomoko’s cooking is incredibly innovative and beautifully executed. Every detail feels intentional, creating an intimate and memorable experience.”
— Jace, Vancouver

“Wonderful and creative vegan gastronomy. A rare and much-needed addition to Vancouver’s food scene.”
— Dali, Vancouver

“Thoughtful, inventive and unlike anything else plant-based events in Vancouver. Every Mæst dinner feels intimate, memorable and beautifully executed.”

— Erin, Vancouver

“I first discovered Tomoko’s cooking at Harken Coffee, where her thoughtful, deeply satisfying food was as memorable as the space itself. Years later, I attended one of her tasting menu experiences and was equally impressed.

Tomoko’s cuisine brings together foraged ingredients, seasonal vegetables, fermentation, and contemporary technique through a uniquely Japanese perspective. Every dish is carefully considered, beautifully presented, and full of unexpected flavours.

Beyond the food, the experience creates a genuine sense of connection and hospitality, making each tasting menu feel personal, memorable, and unlike a conventional restaurant meal.”
