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 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.

Our food was amazing. I had the daily special sandwich which was the chicken dip sandwich and my friends both had the burger. They repeatedly said it was the best burger they had and my sandwich was great. Service was definitely on the slower side. It took a longer time to get our orders in and get our food but otherwise a great spot.

Our experience at Homer Street was *perfect* as always. Coming from Victoria we make a point to visit every time we are in town. The staff are above and beyond incredible, accommodating, above and beyond and the food and drinks are delicious. Homer Street Happy Hour is a MUST. We were so impressed with how you handled the crowds with it being perhaps the busiest weekend of the year (Tay Tay here we come!!) and the DJ was an added bonus. We will be back, thank you for everything!

We had a great meal and time. As we were dining the nite of a Taylor Swift concert, it was busy. It was loud, but a "good" noise and great fun ambience. Service was excellent and quick ..we would have expected perhaps slower. Well done HSCafe!

The server was excellent. We loved sitting at the counter overlooking the kitchen. The strip and cauliflower were perfection. The Burata was lovely but could have used a bit more honey and sauce as it was dry. The chocolate cake exceeded expectations in consistency, flavor and texture. Overall, a very lovey meal after a long week of work and travel!!! I will come back soon.
