LOCALLY MINDED. RESPONSIBLY RAISED

Housed in two of Vancouver’s most iconic buildings, Homer St Cafe and Bar is a contemporary restaurant set in the historic Homer Building and new 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.

    My experience was less than satisfactory. Not sure how this place made it into the Michelin guide. Their signature brunch was a rather basic meal of two eggs, bacon, sausage, bread, some rounds of baked potatoes, and wilted (!) greens accompanied by ordinary ketchup (!!) as a sauce. We didn't have the chance to taste any dessert because the only available option was a butter tart. The table were exceptionally small and uncomfortably close to one another. When another couple was seated next to us, it felt quite intrusive.

    I really enjoyed this restaurant we came to Vancouver from Alberta celebrating my husbands birthday. I can’t remember the last time that I went to a restaurant that impressed me so much. Food service atmosphere I will be telling pepole near and far from you all about it and to visit this restaurant. We will visit it again when we return in the upcoming future

    I have been a frequent patron so was very disappointed to find they have revamped the menu. Food is still delicious but sides have been eliminated. If I want a half rack of ribs I now have to pay extra for fries, biscuits, salad, etc., any of the items that form part of a complete meal. I’d rather they’d raised the prices and continue including sides. I will likely still go to the restaurant because it’s close to home and the staff are fantastic but my orders will be very different from now on.

    First visit. The service was friendly and efficient, but the food was a little disappointing. Decided to go for the "Full Monty" While it was more than enough for the two of us, I don't think it would really stretch to 4. The chicken was excellent, but the rest was "meh". Particularly disappointing was the brisket, and the broccoli cheese was like something you might get at BC Place.

    Thanks a lot for accommodating our request to seat at the ‘solo’ high table in the dining room, facing the kitchen. We always enjoy the privacy and watching the action in the kitchen. Your cocktails are some of the best in Yaletown.

    The ambiance is making the mediocre bistro a “The Homer Café” I guess. I think this place is a good place if you are meeting with a group of friends to chat and not paying attention to the food and service...

    Food is excellent but portions a bit small. Service is very good. Music a little too loud for comfortable conversation in the main restaurant but not too bad in the cafe area near the kitchen.

    What a treat after all day sight-seeing in Vancouver! We had a lovely bar table that was in the restaurant but had a large open window to look out at the patio seating and Homer St. The Chicken Fried Mushrooms were crispy and fresh tasting, the gin martinis had 3 Castelvetrano olives and the lamb shank & brisket entrees were tender and flavorful. Also had a crunchy coleslaw. We were very happy with our meal, the service and the ambiance.

    I ordered the Cobb salad, which was very mediocre to say the least. Weird smeared dressing on top, very unappealing to the eye!!! with the shredded chicken and avocado hidden beneath the lettuce half, which was hard to navigate. Definitely won't order that again.

    Celebrated Mother’s Day a few days early and enjoyed a lovely dinner before heading to a show at the Orpheum. All the food was well prepared (chicken, steak, sides) and the service was lovely. The cheesecake was phenomenal, one of the best I’ve had (and I’ve eaten a lot of cheesecake) The vibe is fun, but background noise is a bit overpowering if you’re wanting a quiet dinner conversation.

    Server turned what should have been a one hour dinner into 2.5 hours as he refused to remove our dirty plates and get the bill for us. It’s almost like they were purposefully ignoring us, very weird behaviour. The full monthly supposedly feeds 2-4 people but it was just enough for two of us. At 115 dollars there’s no chance it’s good value. It’s half a chicken a few pieces of ribs and brisket and 3 tiny sides. Won’t be coming back here

    Very helpful with online booking to accommodate limited time available before a show. Excellent table service and engagement with server Racel. Personable staff. A perfect steak and au jus while the larger stalks of brocollli could have been cooked a little longer! Very good house wine from BC.

    Choose the patio because I’ve out there before but this time they were cheap with the heaters . I suggested to the waitress it was time to turn them on but nothing .. then when I was leaving there was a group of 4 ladies begging for their heater to be turned on . If you can’t turn the heat on when required maybe let someone know that before you ruin your dinner freezing

    It was a busy night at this establishment. In my reservation, I specifically asked to NOT be seated near the kitchen and they seated us deep inside the room that shared the kitchen and did not try to move us to more appropriate level. The noise levels in that room make conversation impossible. That was frustrating and disappointing. Otherwise the food was very good, service great and they got us out to our concert on time--kudos to our server.

    My wife and I shared the Burrata and Manila Clam starters, the half Rotisserie Chicken, and the pudding dessert, which were all delicious. Note: the menu has changed, in part, resulting in the Rotisserie Chicken only coming with Gravy or Buttermilk Ranch, no biscuit, and no fries or salad. Unfortunately, what didn't change was the price. Service, as usual, was excellent.
