• Comfort Food • Yaletown
Booked 76 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.

    Another fabulous meal! Loved the Caesar salad, followed by delicious scallops, cooked beautifully. My dining partner had the lobster bisque and Sablefish, also very tasty. We shared crème brûlée and a berry Pavlova for dessert. Nice selection of wines by the glass. Our server was good, very helpful with helping me find gluten free options and suggestions for courses.

    Food and service were excellent. I asked for a drinkable dry red wine it was perfect. Being told we had a time limit on the table was a little different, but not a first for us. We did not feel rushed but we knew we needed to move along. Cheers George

    Excellent dining experience. Went with the family for dinner and our server was so friendly and attentive. We had a citrus allergy and they were very good about it. Whenever there was a dish with citrus, they made sure to explain and let us know. They also had high chairs available. Food was excellent and our server's recommendations were spot on. Everything we had was delicious and fresh, but the ones that stood out were of course the Oshi and Aburi, lamb chops, sable fish, Mushroom risotto, and the cranberry Hojicha cheesecake for dessert.

    Our family of four including my 8 yrs old had dinner during Thanksgiving holiday. As a tourist from San Jose and grew up in Japan, Oshi Nori is a great sushi restaurant. Much more authentic and reasonable than the ones in San Jose. Everyone served us are friendly and helpful. They have vegetarian choices such as cucumber roll, egg roll, mushroom roll and edamame that my little one enjoyed. I strongly recommend this place.
