• 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.

We loved our experience at Fiorino. I took my partner for her birthday and dinner was amazing. We loved how the meal was presented to us in stages and the food was absolutely delicious. The servers were fantastic and we had a great time. We will definitely be back and recommend everyone to give Fiorino a try. :)

It took staff a little longer than expected to get too us, but otherwise experienced wonderful service! I appreciated what I suspected was an inclusive approach to hiring. Food was tasty, very well flavoured and presented. Only downsides: some on tap products were out of stock and the noise level was a bit too high for my taste.
