Visited during spring break and had such a fantastic dinner that we came back twice - had to have that roasted half chicken again! We loved all the food we tried - vibes were cozy and chic and prices were reasonable for the quality. Service was very nice but a little slow - but to be fair it was packed both nights.
We tried the West Coast Seafood Paella, the Mount Lehman Roasted Half Chicken, Bone Marrow Cheesy Bread, and the happy hour Beet & Arugula salad. Our fave was the roasted chicken - it was supple and savory sitting on top of creamy mashed potatoes and veggies cooked perfectly.
The paella was tasty - came with lots of mussels, chunks of fish, and creamy saffron risotto - but it only had 2 prawns and that was my fave of the dish lol. It had a nice flavor and if you love paella, you'll love it. The portion was large enough for me and my hubby to share.
The bone marrow was tasty and fun - but the portion of marrow is so puny lol - it was hardly enough to put on one toast. So I wouldn't order this again - for the price, they need to add another bone on the plate.
Their happy hour menu is excellent - lots of choices for food and drink at great prices and they offer it twice daily. The restaurant is roomy but cozy with warm, elegant ambiance even when it's busy and kinda loud.
It's a locally owned, small chain with three locations in Vancouver. The Yaletown location was convenient for us - we walked from our hotel so I'm not sure about the parking. But the area we walked through was just a little sketchy so be vigilant. But once you're in the Yaletown area it's very nice. They have patio seating that was cozy as well.Helpful 33Thanks 9Love this 40Oh no 0 - 71239299Jul 24, 20241 check-in
Service was great - very friendly servers. Ordered braised short rib and my friend ordered happy hour mussels and frites. Bone marrow was spot on; beef was a little bit dry as other reviewers have said. It would help if it had a tad more gravy or was not cooked for so long. Mashed potatoes and carrots were fine. Nice atmosphere but little loud. Only two single room bathrooms for a large dining area so expect a wait time even when it's not full.
Mussels seem to have good flavour for the one I tried.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Jul 4, 2024
We found this restaurant near our Airbnb one afternoon with great reviews for poutines and decided to give it a try.
My husband ordered the pulled pork sandwich and loved the sauce and flavor. He ended up upgrading the side to a full portion of pulled pork poutines since it's his first time trying poutines. Overall, he enjoyed the food and the beer and found it to be a really enjoyable experience.
The mushroom pappardelle on the other hand was quite a disappointment. The pasta was a bit dry (no sauce) and the walnut parm gremolada on top made it even worse (completely masked the flavor and made it taste like chewing on breadcrumbs). The mushroom was decent but not enough variety or quantity. Really wanted to like this dish but couldn't. Only ate half of it.
Overall 3 stars because of the pasta dish that seems to be a disappointment for many Yelpers who came before us. Hoping they might do something to reinvent the dish in the future.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - May 30, 2024
Yeah. No. Don't.
I'll tell you why....
This place reminded me of the TITANIC. The aftermath.
You know...12,000 feet of wreckage under water of what used to be utter splendour.
Lively expert staff, warm cozy elegant vibe with candle lit tables setting the stage for an experience you didn't want to leave, and of course accompanied by an uncompromising Bar doing magic with cocktails they were so well known for. The Flying Pig Yaletown was the place to be for dinner, and on the weekends...well good luck getting in. Either you were in a lineup or had reservations weeks ahead.
Wellll.....we walked in and the place was eerily empty with a hostess, who I think just turned 18 and wanted to be anywhere but there. With all the empty seats, we were sat between the kitchen and the bathroom area. Not smart.
I ordered a specialty cocktail which they got wrong. I sent it back and they had to google how to make it. Yeah....really. Even the second attempt they got wrong. So, I just went with a good old margarita which was mostly ice.
Not sure though if the salt on the rim and the pretty little orange was worth 15 bucks. Moving on.....
The short rib was ok, but stingy portions. If the bone marrow has no marrow. Maybe not serve it? Or else it'll just come across as a large bone being served....kinda like the one my dog chews on after his walk.
Stunning. Exciting. Alluring The Flying Pig was years ago.
Now, we must simply walk by the desperate remnants of what used to be on Hamilton Street.Helpful 0Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 1 - May 16, 2024
We ordered:
Mac and Cheese (Happy Hour) $10.50
PEI Mussels (Happy Hour) $14
Mushroom Pappardelle $25
Pork Chop $36
Crispy Brussels Sprouts $12
Food was average and the mains were especially disappointing. The mushroom pappardelle which boasts of wild mushrooms was filled with what felt like button mushrooms, which might have been wild but definitely not what the phrase "wild mushrooms" calls to mind. The pork chop was dry.
Only the side of crispy brussels sprouts were good enough to reorder.Helpful 1Thanks 2Love this 1Oh no 0 - May 12, 2024
10/10!
This meal made we want to cry. Literally, cry. Yes, cry! It was absolutely heavenly. If you are looking for a delicous Canadian food experience, this restaurant is it. I don't think it gets better than this. And if it does, please let me
know where. Not only am I passionate at eating out, but I'm also passionate about the food I cook. Therefore, when I taste love on a plate, it must be shared. This meal was truly for the books. Like if I were to die tomorrow, I'd want this to be one of my last meals.
My husband and I ordered the 14oz pork chop with a side of pork belly poutine. They will charge you an additional cost, but trust me, do it! The poutine gravy is divine. It reminds me of a gravy my mom makes at thanksgiving. She makes bone broth and then makes the most amazing gravy that is just so rich, you can taste the love. This was dare I say...identical! It was my first time trying poutine and I was swept away with these gravy smothered fries, with the cheese, and melt in your mouth pork. The hefty size pork chop was the BEST I have EVER had. Perfectly moist, seasoned, and tender!
We also ordered the stealhead trout. It was perhaps the most moist well seasoned piece of fish I've ever had. It was on top of a bed of risotto and broccolini and a side of brussel sprouts. There was seriously nothing wrong with any of the food. It was all PERFECTION.
The prices are very reasonable for everything they give. I'm just blown away. Service was excellent. Our waiter was so kind and attentive. I have nothing negative to say except for, I wish I would have gotten another order of pork belly poutine to go. Maybe some dessert too. Lol No, but seriously go check them out. You can thank me laters!Helpful 0Thanks 1Love this 2Oh no 0 - 124621524073Apr 7, 2024
Yaletown is one of my favorite parts of Vancouver. Trendy and hip eateries line the streets. We came to The Flying Pig for happy hour and were able to grab a spot at the bar. They have an outstanding happy hour!
We went with the salmon cakes and some fries. Everything was tasty! Especially paired with a very well priced drink. Great deals available for such a nice spot.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 4Oh no 0 - Apr 1, 2024
The sides here are all incredible. I tried the truffle Mac and cheese, the caramelised onions and mushrooms and the steak and thought it was all really good.
I also for the salmon over seasonal vegetables and risotto. I devoured it, it was so good and buttery.
Staff and service was friendly, but the food did take a bit while to arrive.
I enjoyed this place a lot but for the price point and portion size, I would say I was a tiny bit disappointed.
I've heard the happy hour deals here are good so excited to come back for that!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Brandon F.Seattle, WA2249Aug 25, 2024
We have been coming to the Flying Pig for almost a decade. The food is always delicious and we have never had an issue with the service. The happy hour is a fantastic value. Highly recommend the mussels and the steelhead trout!
