We don't usually go out and eat souvlakis together as a family lunch so this was a pleasant change. Meat Me was nice and clean, bustling with European customers so we were excited for our order to come. 
Lamb Gyros plate ($15.90)
 Chicken Gyros plate ($15.90)
 Chicken Souvlaki plate skewers ($15.90)
Each of our plates was served with chips, salad, tzatziki and pita. For those who aren't familiar with Greek food, tzatziki is a Greek yogurt sauce for gyros or souvalaki. The herbs were fragrant on the meat and full of flavour and texture yet we loved how it was not dry or too oily. The meat wrapped in soft pita bread with tzatziki sauce was heavenly. It's great that it has a little bit of everything on the plate feeling like I've had a somewhat balanced diet even though ordering souvlakis. It may not look like much but we were holding our stomachs afterwards!
We ordered some after meal coffees:  Soy Cappuccino and Freddo Cappuccino. Both were surprisingly good. Michael ordered the Freddo and I've never had it before so I gave it a try. Coffee was so strong and fragrant. I tried mixing the thick layer of cold milk on the top with the coffee on the bottom to get a more harmonious blend of cappuccino but I felt it was too overpowering for my taste. I much prefer the hot normal version of cappuccino a lot more but Michael really enjoyed it though. I highly recommend coffee lovers to give it a try. 
Overall
Service was good and price was very reasonable. Amidst the plethora of competition Meat Me still has their own clientele signalling the quality and authenticity of their food. I would definitely come here again with friends to chill or have a nice brunch.
