About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Lively
  • Great for brunch
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 ambience was pleasant and the food - incredible! Had the Homer Salad and HSBC burger. Ample quantity and lovely presentation. Loved how well the server (forgot her name unfortunately)explained everything and how she answered all the questions we had. A Lovely place to have dinner.

    We were so grateful for the generosity of the Homer Street team as they made the night truly special - we were celebrating a birthday as well as parents visiting from overseas. We had bright, friendly service, a beautiful selection of oysters, nice wine and hearty, satisfying mains. We love the decor and ambiance and had an excellent evening there overall. Will certainly be back again!

    Everything we had was really good but the negative is that there is very little choice for vegetarians. When asking the server she suggested the salad and removing the meat! Fortunately they have a very nice veggie pasta dish but there needs to be more choices, especially if you want repeat customers.

    It took over an hour after ordering to get our food and we received the beverages we had ordered and had drank half before someone filled our water glasses. Food was good but took way to long

    The kitchen was overwhelmed and our server even warned us they were 5-10 minute waits over norm. Our server was very nice, the breakfast special was nothing special, my cornmeal pancake was tasty with nice homemade preserve - but too sweet overall. The noise level was crazy as everyone was shouting to be heard across their table. The dishes on next table looked pretty good and they were enthusiastic. Maybe I’ll try again - just not a sunny Sunday brunch!!

    I've been a huge fan of this restaurant for years and have always had a great experience. This time it was not the same. The service was fine, the food great but frankly, when you are told you can't get a tomato slice on your $25 burger because it slows the kitchen down or you can't have the napkin in the empty table next to you because it's rolled up and you have to wait 5 minutes while the server goes and gets an unrolled one, not to mention multiple dry comments, you feel like you should be spending your money somewhere else. Maybe the server had an off night and I'm not saying stay away but I'm sharing that there's a minimum standard one expects from a near premium restaurant and it wasn't met.

    We dropped in for a quick bite after a show at the Orpheum. I wish I had remembered the server’s name. He’s originally from London and treated us very well. A great ambassador for your brand.

    Been here before and I will come back again, we were in a hurry and made that very clear at the start of the meal, but service was SLOW. Arriving at 6:30pm and didn’t leave until 8:10pm. Waited far too long on a can of soda water, and two pasta dishes. People on either side of us came after and departed before us. TJ, our server, was an absolute delight and helped us through the process. It was busy due to the concert at the stadium, not usual, I won’t hold it against the astablishment. 10/10 recommend.

    Great mid-week location for a business meeting. The patio was also available but indoor was a bit more private. I would go again.

    Food was good but the bennys don’t actually come with bacon but rather ham lunchmeat.. portion of the tot side was also small. Came for our anniversary and was not particularly special. Average experience overall not great nor bad.
