Mæst Food — Summer Solstice Dinner
June 22
Modus Coffee | 112 West Broadway, Vancouver
Two seatings: 5:30 PM & 7:45 PM.
(Each seating is approximately 1.5 hours)
Join us for the next seasonal dinner by Mæst Food, a plant-based dining experience rooted in fermentation, foraging, and the rhythms of the natural world. Inspired by sekki—the traditional Japanese calendar that marks seasonal transitions—this edition celebrates the Summer Solstice.
In honour of eight years of Mæst pop-ups, we’re offering a shorter menu format at a special price of $80 (tax included). This pared-back experience maintains the full spirit and depth of Mæst’s seasonal cooking—nourishing, cooling, and grounded in the present moment.
