LOCALLY MINDED. RESPONSIBLY RAISED. MICHELIN RECOMMENDED.Housed in two of Vancouver’s most iconic buildings, Homer St Cafe and Bar is a contemporary restaurant set in the base of the historic Homer Building and the Beasley building in Vancouver’s Yaletown district. Classic comfort cooking takes center stage thanks to a fire engine red rotisserie that roasts all manner of proteins. It’s chicken that’s the star here: served in quarter, half or whole portions, accompanied by classic sides basted in jus. A decidedly adventurous wine and cocktail list rounds out the menu. The restaurant features two spaces that consist of an open concept kitchen “Chef’s Bar” where one can get up close and personal with the culinary team, a semi private dining room with reclaimed factory windows, and bespoke seating complemented by antique tiling.

    The chicken fried mushrooms were not great - the dip was fantastic, but if you like dipping deep fried dough then this may be wonderful for you. The Babaganoush was fantastic but I think pita bread would be a better accompaniment than lavash - it was thin and hard. Best dish was the cauliflower. Our server was amazing!

    We hit this place on a Monday and most of their pastas are available for $14.95. The three of us had different options. Spaghetti and meatballs - linguine pesto - spaghetti alio. All very good. Service was good. The lighting was a bit bright but eventually they turned it down to a better level.

    We loved our server (Cam I think?) he was so nice to us and we were a huge group too! Drinks are good (as always) and the Jell-O shots are deliciously dangerous!! Otherwise, food is of average (but expected at a bar). Music was really good that night too!
