Flying Pig Bistro

We decided to try out Terra, a spanish restaurant on High Street, in Sai Ying Pun the other day. The decor is a little… eclectic, and feels as though it’s having an identity crisis. It’s seems to shuffle in between high end, casual and fast food, so it’s a little confusing. We were seated under the blackboard containing the days specials, and I was hopeful when our waiter had a spanish accent. We ordered the chorizo to start, and the sea bass and pork ribs for main. The waiter recommended the pork ribs, as they “came from Spain” and were “delicious”, so I figured why not.

The chorizo came with a side of patatas bravas, and was in a clay pot filled with rum. The waiter lit the rum on fire, and you cooked the chorizo on a metal skewer turning it over the flames. A novelty to be sure. The chorizo was good, but it was like any chorizo you can buy in a Macau grocery store (and more than a few places in HK), good but not great. The patatas bravas were quite disgusting, they were large chunks of potatoes that seemed to have been deep fried in old oil until just barely burnt on the outside, but slightly raw on the inside. Unpleasant to say the least.

The mains came, the sea bass was quite overcooked, and dry, but had very good flavour. The pork ribs that were supposed to be smoked, were an odd pink color (not a bark/natural smoke ring from smoking, but more like brined in some weird red smoke flavour) and almost inedibly salty. I have a very salty palette, and these were borderline inedible for me.

Couple this with mediocre service, and a group of older Chinese gentlemen (who seemed to be very familiar with the staff, perhaps an owner and his friends) sitting there drinking, and swearing loudly in Cantonese made this a pretty lousy dining experience. We didn’t stick around for dessert that’s for sure. The one good thing was the Estrella Galicia beer on tap.

To sum it up, this is not an inexpensive place to dine, and it’s definitely not worth the price, Sai Ying Pun is starting to blossom and they’re going to have to step up their game to stick around I think. We will not be returning.

I had a hard morning at work but made it there for a lunch gathering with friends and late for 20 minute. “No lunch for you as you are too late” was the greeting from the waiter, what a great reception. To show his humor, 5 minutes later he again told me “you should be happy here”. Yes I should be happy if you just have your ‘humor’ and leave me alone! Next for the food , the chicken Sznitzel was a deep deep fried cutlet of chicken breast guaranteed to have no taste but only rough texture. The presentation was chic but the side dishes or appetizers just chopped veggie with vinegar and olive oil. In general, nothing attract me back.

The flying pigs bistro was amazing and it had wonderful food. The decor was enjoyable and funny. The staff were friendly and helpful. I highly suggest that you visit this place.

Average quality but overpriced. The food is not bad, just very average, but given the pricing, it is over priced. W ould only recommend getting a drink, but if you were getting a drink, there are alot of alternatives nearby.

對於我來說在西環吃飯最方便之處，一定是高街。高街林立了不少餐廳，以西式為主，也有意大利和墨西哥菜，其餘都是日間供應all day breakfast和其他輕食，晚上則供應扒類的餐廳，也有酒吧。對於剛剛起床的我，當然選擇去高街吃個早餐吧！這次是我第三次倒高街找吃了，所以也試過不少餐廳，最後我選了Flying Pig這個我沒有試過的。早上十時許到達，店內滿是空座，只有兩三台客，我坐在近門口位置的二人位，享受天然陽光

Food is good. Roast suckling pig is a must. Chris, the owner, is so welcoming.

Great food and service. Nice vibe. High St feels like a more relaxed Staunton St.

Seriously, the manager is the best! He’s super accommodating and friendly. The venue is also spacious and the food is not only delicious but good value for money.

You simply have to go try their lunch set! 3 course meal for only $110. It’s my go to now.

Great spot! I was pleasantly surprised by the flavours here. Excellent food and service.

Nice food, nice staff.

Flying Pig Bistro is a very special place because of its eco-friendly interior designs, and of course their food! I’ve tried their Pig’s burger, suckling pig and their Quinoa Salad, absolutely delicious! They have Sunday Roast buffet and free flow wine and spirits on Saturday and Sunday and BBQ night on Monday and Tuesday, pretty good deal! Every item there is in generous portion! 🙂

The food was great, service was great. Some of the best western food we have had in Hong Kong during our short time living here.

Great lamb chops, accompanied by good red wine. The atmosphere is very comfortable too, not too crowded.

Nice service with worth trying pork dishes

Pulled pork sliders were good. The burgers looked huge so only order if you have a big appetite. Husband had Pork Cheeks with Thai Salad which was a bit odd and not very Thai, it had green olives in it. Beer was local and good.

They did not have what were listed in the menu. I ended up with fish n chips. The fish is fishy. The white wine is of room temperture. Horrible.

We loved everything there. The staff was quick and really welcoming. The food was served so fast and the Pulled Pork Burger was so delicious. This nice little restaurant has such a nice atmosphere 😉 We will definitely come back!

Ok. All day breakfast is great.

Good food and dog friendly

Nice place, good for lunch, around 150/Lunch

Went there with my family. Ordered a tenderloin steak. The steak came pre cut and was quite rare in the middle. I asked the manager why it was pre cut and why it was so rare. They gave a bs answer about a steak being thick and being frozen and couldn’t defrost in time. Manager and the chef don’t know how to cook a steak. The manager thought this was a dish that could be served instead of talking to the chef and just kept giving excuses not owning up to the problem.

Dog friendly place for brunch

Very reasonably priced and delicious foods , and the service staff was helpful and friendly.

I had the tuna salad, and my girlfriend the Thai squid salad. Very good taste, and plenty of tuna and squid. Price reasonable too. Fat efficient and friendly service. We brought our dog which was allowed if seated at the front.

Perfect lunch set at wonderful price.
