I’ve surprisingly never been to The Flying Pig even though they have two other locations (Gastown and Olympic Village). Finally made it out for happy hour in Yaletown!. A few specials they had that evening. We dropped in on an early Thursday evening (around 5:00pm). People were already taking advantage of happy hour which is weekdays (3:00pm to 6:00pm) and weekends (4:00pm to 6:00pm).
First time here with three friends and was seated at the patio as it’s very hot and noisy inside. Our waiter was very nice as he explained the menu to us and gave some recommendations and their bestseller. The way he explained the menu is enticing so we decided to order his suggestions. The foods were very delicious and flavourful. We were surprised and happy about the big serving size of the cake we ordered for dessert. Very pricey but worth it.
Nice and small restaurant. Very good atmosphere and quality food. But only disadvantages for large group, is that they don’t take reservation before hand. So it is advisable to reach early and enjoy the place.
Tasty tapas & great service.
Great selection of drinks & good food. Whether you are here for a good solid meal or eats with drinks.
My recommendation- grab a group to try their various appetisers. Get a good tasting of what’s on offer!

The Flying Pig Restaurants is a Canadian local restaurant. It has 3 locations in the lower mainland, includes Gastown, Yaletown and Olympic Village. I went to the Flying Pig only once with my classmates on the weekdays. Although it was a weekday, the restaurant was so busy. I am strongly suggested to make a reservation before you go.
Environment:
The restaurant is divided into two parts. People can eat inside or they can eat at the patio. Since lots of people were inside the restaurant, we decided to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine.
Service:
The servers in this restaurant were all nice and friendly. After we sat down, the server came to our table fast and took drink orders from us. The drinks came and refilled very fast. Our table server was also helpful. When we couldn’t decide what to order from the menu, he introduced us the items from the menu and gave us a great idea to order the food.
Food/Prices :
The food on the menu is all in Canadian Style and fancy. The menu breakdown has a wide range of items with a small portion pork selection. The price of the food is a little bit expensive. The starters prices are all around $11. The main meals are around $27 – $30. Because we’ve been during the HAPPY HOURS (Available every day between 3pm & 6pm Monday to Friday; 4pm & 6pm weekends at all locations), all the starters were half prices. We didn’t order any food from Main Section. We had couple starters to share. The food came fast and fresh. The taste of the food was great.
In summary, it was a great experience having dinner at The Flying Pig Restaurant. I would like to come back to the restaurant again in the future. In the end, I highly recommend going there during the HAPPY HOURS. It was a great deal for the starters.
The Flying Pig has to be one of my favourite spots to grab a bite with friends. It's perfectly situated in the heart of Gastown and always has a constant flow of people. It has such an energetic vibe and social ambiance. Their food is very comforting and flavourful. I definitely recommend the Blackened Lois Lake steelhead trout salad! I order it most of the time. The presentation is always wonderful and so are the portions. I highly propose you give it a try!!
We ordered too much food, but everything tastes so good. You can tell the ingredients were really fresh and high quality. The beef and fish were made just right.
Last month when my friends came to visit me, we decided to try this most popular spot in downtown Vancouver. The place is nice looking, inviting, community tables, some high tops, good amount of bar seating and great window seats to people watch.
As for our main course, we got the Red Wine Braised Beef Short Rib and the Blackened Steelhead Trout. Both were very good and we switched entrees again and again so we could get a little of each. For the appetizers, we ordered the Beet & Bresaola Salad and Classic Poutine. Both were nice with beer and wine too.
Overall, we had a wonderful meal, the service is great with the staff being friendly, knowledgeable about the food, quick on getting you drinks and bringing out your food and clearing up. We were enjoying in this restaurant and must visit it again.
Had brunch here bright and early- in fact we were the first ones in, so we got a prime table right by the window. Ambience is great, very open and clean with lots of wood and brick, creating for a very pleasant visual experience. (The only kinda weird thing is that the next couple to come into the big empty restaurant they placed at the table right beside us). The food was great, wonderful presentation, generous portions and amazing flavours. The Flying Pig delivered a classic brunch that I would highly recommend.
Nice restaurant, it has a nice heated patio. Good customer service and decent prices. I went for the happy hour, it was worthy.
Salmon cakes and sprout Brussels were very tasty 👅
Four stars because the patio view can be better.
We we were on the wait list for a table of 8, they called and said there was a cancelation, and we were glad to take the spot. So many great starter dishes. Everyone enjoyed their meals, staff was efficient and really nice. Drinks were cold and kept coming ;). Overall, we highly recommend this place. Must try.
Nice restaurant in Yaletown. A little late on this review but we really enjoyed our dinner and drinks. It’s spacious, has great ambience and excellent service. Ordered the bone marrow and mushroom pasta and both were delicious! A bit too many nuts in the pasta but still so good! Dessert was excellent as well!
Highly recommend for a nice dinner out in Yaletown!
Did Happy Hour before work and it was great. Service was good and the food was excellent. The Paella spices were perfect. We ordered some deals and off the main menu. Delicious your chef know their tastes and flavours.
Came here for lunch on a weekday, and it got busy very quickly. Overall nice atmosphere, great service and fresh food.
We had the grab cakes, paella and trout. All recommended.

I really enjoyed my lunch at this cozy little place in beautiful Yaletown, Vancouver today!
They have a great selection on their menu and their lunch prices are reasonable. What really stood out for me was their warm, attentive and professional service. From the beginning to the end. The host made us feel very welcome and our server took very good care of us the whole time. Due to the winter wonderland feel and all the snow I felt I need to start things off with a nice cup of coffee. I loved the coffee. It was JJ Bean and piping hot and served in a sparkling cup.....exactly the way I like it.
We had the Pulled Pork Sandwich and the Chicken cutlets.
I loved the pulled pork, juicy and well seasoned with a nice crisp fresh ceasar salad and a slice of gherkin with the meal which was a nice touch. I love gherkins!
I also tried the Chicken cutlet which was beautifully cooked. Tender with the batter seasoned just on point and the mash was a perfect pairing.
"I MEAN WHO DOESN'T LIKE GREAT MASH?!"
Next time I'm going for the muscles! ;)
