Food Finds in the Lower Hudson Valley

Flying Pig on Lexington

As I told you on Jan. 4, the Flying Pig restaurant moved from the train station in Mount Kisco to the place formerly occupied by Cafe Antico. I tried it out for lunch on Friday and quite enjoyed it.

I had the salmon nicoise salad:

And my friend had the grilled chicken salad with black beans, avocado and tortilla chips.

The deal behind the Flying Pig is that they serve mostly organic and local food, especially the food grown at Cabbage Hill Farm in Mount Kisco. You could tell the greens hadn’t been out of the ground long. They were very fresh and flavorful.

The restaurant is undergoing renovations while it’s still open, which is something I’ve not seen that many times.

But that doesn’t make it uncomfortable inside. (Though it was a little loud — and that’s at lunch. I wonder what happens at dinner?)

The garden is just beautiful.

My first impression is very favorable.

    My wife and I had dinner there awhile back. We sat upstairs and found it to be quiet and comfortable (the service was wonderfull). While my wife didn't enjoy her dinner as much as I did mine we both agreed it's worth a return trip.

    The grass fed burger at Flying Pig is worth the trip from anywhere in the county, especially when the weather is nice – their patio is lovely. their farm connection really makes a difference in quality of the greens served, I agree with you!

    Are they affiliated with the flying goose that was in suffern?
    I think it was the flying goose.

    RK,
    Good to know it's quieter upstairs.

    Maryanne,
    We featured the burger on our cover of "25 Great Burgers" a couple of years ago, but at the time, the restaurant was still in the train station. Man that was good.

    Steve,
    No relation.
