• Comfort Food • Yaletown

Booked 61 times today

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.

Every day funk is what going Rogue is all about. Crazy tall light fixtures and walls that glow set against sand-blasted brick and well-worn hardwood floors. Menu-wise, going Rogue means doing things in the kitchen others said couldn’t be done. Like a completely fresh burger served medium-rare to make it the juiciest and best tasting in town. Or corn-dogs your not supposed to want but secretly crave. Going Rogue means your horizons are greater than the “usual suspects” of chain restaurants. Rogue gives it’s customer an eclectic enough offering of food and surroundings, that they can feel and be themselves. You can go Rogue when you’re slumming, you can go Rogue when you need to impress. You can go Rogue with a date, your mates or with your boss. Best of all, you can afford to go Rogue every day of the week. Need a stiff drink and tasty meal to get you through your daily grind and have enough left over to do it all again tomorrow? Go Rogue.

Such an excellent experience! The service was great and Anthony went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. The food was so delicious, that it was hard to pick a highlight. The carpaccio was so perfectly seasoned and the flourless banana cake was just exceptional. The portions were generous and the value was definitely there. Would highly recommend.

My best friend and I visited La Casita on a whim and absolutely loved it. The ambience is lively and energetic with comforting, dim lighting. The service was excellent. We mentioned that we were learning spanish and Juan Carlos, and a friendly (and very muscular, you are who I aspire to be) bartender lady spent the rest of our time there teaching us new phrases and words very patiently. The food was amazing as well. 10/10, we plan on visiting every two weeks.
