Celebrated a birthday at Botanist and had a wonderful time. The flavour profiles were complex and layered, while the beverages were wonderful! Brendan was incredibly helpful and fun to banter with. Highly recommend for any occasion, or none at all!

Roast duck was good, but way too expensive. There were only two pieces of fish maw in the fish maw soup and some mushrooms. Didn’t taste anything from the soup, and it’s just warm. The fried dumplings were good. The appetizer Jelly fish was so so. I do not recommend this restaurant.

Homer Street Cafe & Bar
4.8 (3045)
CAN$30 and under
Comfort Food
Yaletown
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.
