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.

We were there for early lunch on a Monday, so it was very quiet. The food was wonderful. We both had the tomato basil soup, which was hot and satisfying, flavorful and not too much cream as so many restaurants do. I had the panzanella salad, which I loved for the preserved watermelon chunks as well as the rest of the veggies and the dressing. My husband had the veal piccata, which he said was delicious. Our server was friendly and attentive, and she made us feel very welcome. Definitely recommend!
