Syd's FishPig Cafe

Truly one of the most original, flavorful, and charming places in Norfolk! I was as delighted with the food and service as I was with the eclectic art on the walls. Located in Selden Market in downtown Norfolk, it's a can't-miss dining experience, specializing in Southern and Cajun/Creole dining. Don't miss out on their rotating cheese selections, served with house bread of the day, smoky ham, and a delicious and tangy relish. If you like steak, pork, and seafood, you're in luck!! I've tried a few of their seafood offerings and have always been very impressed. I had shrimp and grits this visit: the shrimp were perfectly cooked, the grits were super flavorful, and I could have drank the broth everything sat in with a straw. If you need a dinner that will fill your belly and soul with goodness, Syd and the team at FishPig will oblige!

The food and service is excellent. We had the scallops and rockfish and both were exceptional. As usual Syd provides a great meal which dates back to his Dumbwaiter days!

Intimate ambience & elevated food experience without being fussy. Just go! Alone or with friends, you will enjoy every bit! I can't wait to go back for amazing craft cocktails, friendly service and unique menu.

Oh my word! What a gem we stumbled upon for an early bite last weekend. This is absolutely authentic gulf coastal dining. I am a big fan of New Orleans and the gulf coast style food and this place has it on lock down. Very casual, come as you are but the chef is ON POINT. Thank you for an excellent meal with great service.

Chose this to get out of the cold, menu seemed interesting, went in with very little expectations. Was completely Wow'd! Ordered the seafood app (this immediately sent my expectations up) the flavors were well balanced and thought out. Our group ordered the etouffe, pork o Rama, and flounder. It was FANTASTIC! All of it! My crazy husband Decided I needed dessert for my birthday, Again! Wow.

Boy was I in another world. Syd's was a wild place. I swear I kept looking around and my face looked like an :o while I looked at every art piece. Aesthetics aside it is a very eclectic but tasty Louisiana style food. It was a quiet dinner considering it was the parade weekend , but that made it great. I had the flounder with crawfish, which was spicy and creamy but also amazing. My wife got the Bowl, which was a trifecta of shrimp, flounder, and pork. Savory and worth. I'd go again to try the etoufee, as it looks really good. Awesome service and chill waiter.

Sydney is a master at what he does! His food is delicious and his desserts are never too sweet! Decor and vibe of the restaurant is so fun and eclectic! It's quiet. I've never had a bad time here!!! Syd also does cooking classes!!! Would HIGHLY recommend!

Syd's FishPig Cafe is a quirky restaurant that offers an ever-changing menu of seasonal items.We came here for dinner, having made advance reservations. We ordered:+my infamous cheese tray - some of the cheeses and the ham salad were unavailable, but the housemade crackers were delicious, and the relish was a nice topping to the spread+house aged strip - this was meaty and juicy; we weren't really fans of the root veggies, as some were a little undercooked+fish o rama - fish was flaky, delicate, and lightService was friendly and welcoming. We even were greeted by Chef Syd himself, who was super kind!I loved the decor of the place - loved the collections and how it made the eatery cozy and unique.Definitely a option if you're in the area.+rotating seasonal menu+reservations recommended

Stopped by here while waiting for an event. Sat at the bar and ordered the Pink Piggie Martini. This was such a delish refreshing drink, I would definitely get this again. It so electic inside just like how his former restaurant Stove was but this place is so much bigger than Stove but still intimate feeling.I look forward to coming here for a date night in the future.

Incredible food and incredible atmosphere. My partner and I both lived in the Deep South and this rivals any place we went to on the gulf coast. Could not recommend more. Our server was clearly busy, but we never felt forgotten, and she was a true professional. We will be returning!
