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 food never misses here - always delicious and the restaurant is gorgeous. Only complaint is the noise - it's a restaurant, people want to catch up and chat without having to shout over the music

We were out to dinner with our 2 adult girls before heading to the cirque show. The service was outstanding. I found the music way too loud. We had to yell at each other to converse. Food was good as well however, the size of the appy's and dinner course orders was on the small side. Thinking just not the value we expected for the $$ we spent. But as I mentioned, service was great so we still tipped over 25 %. Also, thinking the kitchen (Chef, cooks & helpers) could find another way besides yelling to inform the servers their orders were up. Just not classy. But again, just my take. Thanks P

Dinner was perfect. Food and wine were delicious as usual. Chicken, brisket and ribs - so good. Stand out for the night was the exceptional service. We can’t think of a better experience. 21 years living in Vancouver and this was hands down the best dining experience. Thanks to the whole team - with special thanks to our server for making my birthday the best night out.

All four of us had the clam chowder, found it to be very watery and quite tasteless. The BLT was good but we all thought you could have included your rotisserie chicken on it, and then could call it a 'clubhouse'

Good food and cozy atmosphere. We were celebrating two birthdays and nothing special was provided to celebrate. Not even a candle for the tarts we ordered.

The restaurant was very noisy on entering but the hostess found a quieter spot and turned down the music. This helped tremendously. We enjoyed our friends and the food.
