This place has a great comfortable vibe! Unfortunately we headed down later than planned and parking was a nightmare, so we arrived about 40 minutes before closing and the case was nearly empty. We left with the last lemon meringue tart. It was delicious.... The kind of tart that gets you in the back of the jaw! Perfect size for 2 to share. The meringue was excellent too. I would absolutely go back to try more off the menu! The savory build your own pies sound delicious! I feel like this is a real gem. I've never been to Australia or even seen another Australian bakery while traveling so this was new to me! Even though we only had a small taste, I'd definitely recommend giving it a try! read more

I was hesitant about the meat pies as I was never a big fan when in Australia. I always found the meat pies to be very salty and had a strong meaty taste/smell there. Still, I wanted to try it. I had something safe like the chicken with leek and mushroom. The crust was flaky and good. The filling was tasty and not salty. I ordered it "peaked" with the works - mushy peas, mashed potato and gravy. The peas were sooooo good. They were not the puke green like in so many places and were fresh and sweet. The gravy was salty though, so I may skip it next time. I also ordered the lamington as that was my absolute favorite dessert in Australia, and the best one I had was from a farmer's market in Sydney. The one here was fantastic, very similar to what I had in Sydney. I would come back here just for it. And then I discovered I could have gotten a "minington" free for checking in on Yelp. Too bad I had already ordered and ate before realizing it. That means I will need to make another visit just for that, and more pies. read more

Was on the Seawall this morning so I decided to check out Peaked Pies on Denman for lunch. The service was fantastic. They were really friendly. Thing to note. If you check-in you get a free Minington dessert with the purchase of a pie. I didn't use the deal because I knew I'd be stuffed after the pie. Traditional Peaked Pie: I have a huge appetite and this thing filled me up. Really flavourful ground beef and onions, and AI definitely recommend getting the pie peaked. Towards the end is started to taste like a Shepherds Pie with some crunch because of the pastry. By no means is this a bad thing. Would I come back? So happy they opened the North Burnaby location. I'll be paying them a visit in the very near future. And if I'm ever near Denman it's pretty much guaranteed that I'll come here. Update: 10 mins later Went in to return my plate and cutlery. Saw the Vanilla Slice and it called out to me. Didn't know what to expect. For some reason I was thinking it would have a berry flavour to it too too, but it really was just dyed icing. But just like the pie, this thing was good. It's pretty much a cream puff in bar form. read more

If you're in Vancouver, this is a must try. This is a nice little place and they have several different types of savory pies. We tried the hopper and the traditional aussie with the toppings. If you're not a big fan of peas, I would recommend skipping that. We also got a small piece of free minington (chocolate cake covered by coconut flakes) by checking in on yelp which was great. The place is very clean and inviting. The staff at the counter was super friendly and helped us pick the right pie and also provided recommendations. read more

I just finished eating one of their small steak and mushroom pies, how disappointing! The pie appeared overcooked. Not only was the pastry tasteless and difficult to cut with a knife, the pie filling was over salted. Service was adequate. read more

We had the Chunky Steak and Mushroom pie. The pie was not warm enough and the filling was minimal. It was not worth $10.

Friendly service! The day we were here, it was cash only (machine was down). And, if feeding a few people, this place can get pricey. I was not expecting the $13 price tag each but we did get them loaded and that they were! I got a chicken curry pie. It was alright - the curry could have been stronger as I could not really taste it. I do have a bold palate though. With that extra cost of almost $4, you get potatoes, dark gravy and mushy peas on top. I love me some peas but I decided on this day, I prefer them whole and not so mushy! Just not used to them I guess but man, the pie filled me up. I could not even finish it, took out 1/3 for later. He got the beef, cheese and bacon pie. He enjoyed it a lot. We both agreed that the pies on their own are plenty enough. Great to grab and eat on the go, too. I love hand-food! I saw some in their freezer near the cash for those lucky enough to be local to take some home for quick meal solutions. The location is amazing in the West End but the eatery itself has limited seating. I have to say too that it was very hot in there. Uncomfortably hot. I cannot wait to go back. I think of these little pies all the time and want to try them all. Don't forget to check in on Yelp and get your free Aussie dessert square! It tasted like a cake crossed with a macaroon. read more

I love aussi meat pies. I've been to Australia 3 times now, and I always seek out a good pie shop when I'm there because they bring back memories for me. I lived there for a year when I was 5 years old. I only have a fuzzy recollection of those days, but I definitely remember their pies being amazing. I hadn't found any pies in Vancouver that compared to the ones I had in Australia. Peaked Pies are very close, but not exact. I think the ones here are a little over-done. Could just have been the day I went, and I did show up very late in the day after they'd been on the shelf for sometime. I did not try the gravy or the toppings, because I never remember having it that way in Australia. I just wanted to taste it by itself. They are already delicious like that. I was afraid gravy would just over-shadow the flavour from the pie. read more

I've been here 2x. The first time I ordered a kangaroo pie without toppings. It was a while ago so unfortunately I can't give a detailed review. The 2nd time I came with my sister and we shared a traditional meat pie with mashed potatoes, mushed peas and gravy. I was originally worried about the traditional meat pie being made with ground beef. I imagined it to be dry and pictured bits of ground beef rolling out the flakey pastry. However! The pie was filled with rich gravy that kept the ground bits together. The mushed peas were good. They added flavor and texture. Some are mushed to create a kind of paste that holds the whole peas together. I give this place 5 stars as I wouldn't change a thing with their food. If I lived nearby I'd break my vegetarian kick and become a regular. read more

Peaked Pies - Traditional meat pie with mashed potatoes, peas, and gravy - Australian Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I first came to this place out of curiosity? A restaurant specializing in Australian savory pies? What the hell is that? It turned out to be an amazing experience after all. Pies are generous and served with gravy as well as mashed green beers. They are so delicious and warm you up when the weather is cold. Don't forget to wash everything down with their ice cold lager the second time I've decided to try a dessert as well and I went for a salted caramel tarte it was so rich and decadent and was garnished with big sea salt cristals which I have never seen before. Overall I love this place, come here for the food and the beer on a chilly day read more

These are truly homemade pies! Fresh and tasty and similar to the pies I had in New Zealand but with a different twist, PEAKED!! The pies are topped with mashed potatoes and smashed peas. Amazingly fresh ingredients and a great homemade meal with out having to do all the work. I visited before everything was locked down and was able to eat in the restaurant back in February and it was nice to sit and eat it hot and in the restaurant but this time we had to pick up and take it home. Read the story of and Aussie girl and a Vancouver Island guy got together to make these great pies and we are fortunate to have a great establishment so please support it so it can survive the Covid-19 pandemic. read more

We had just finished lunch so were looking for something sweet, but the Peaked Pies sure looked good! They are savory pies ranging from $7.50 to $8.25, and then topped with mashed potato, mushy peas, and gravy for an extra $3.75. Everything is ready-made so people were getting their pies shortly after paying at the counter. As for sweets, only two choices were available: Mixed Berry and Apple Crumble. We picked the Apple Crumble Pie ($6.95) and had it be warmed up. The pie was delicious! It was also worth the extra $0.75 for whipped cream. Out of curiosity, we also got the Minington ($1.25), which is a bite-sized version of the Lamington ($3.95). I liked the outside chocolate and coconut coating, but I found the sponge cake itself to be dry. Price-wise, the Lamington is better, and I've uploaded a photo of the two side-by-side. read more

Yay a Vancouver location!!!!! Once my husband and I drove to Whistler just to have peaked pies, no joke! So when I saw they opened a Van location I was excited! Great location right on Denman street. Lots of different flavours to choose from. I seem to always go for the steak and mushroom, classic and always good and peaked of course! (topped with mash potato and mushy peas) sooooo good! The pies might looked small but its very filling. The pastry is flaky and rich gravy to combine it all together. When you check in you get a free minington its tiny cake not really sure but it covered in coconut, it was ok not what I came for but it was free. Overall the pies are great and I will be back! read more

I don't really have anything to compare this to as it was my first time eating an Aussie meat pie, but I honestly didn't think they were that much better than the ones you can get at the Urban Fare hot food bar (cheaper too). Not saying that it was bad, but it was just an average tasting pie with some very instagram-friendly toppings. Peaked Pies is located a bit farther away than where I usually would venture and the store was pretty quiet during dinnertime on a Sunday evening when we went. The store itself is well-lit, clean and comfortable while the staff are polite and efficient. Overall, I think I enjoyed the gravy the most as it was nice and creamy but not too thick. The whole concept of having a "peaked" pie is pretty unique so definitely give this place a try for the novelty! read more

Visited today for lunch after walking up Denman from English Bay, looking for somewhere to eat. How many Middle-Eastern places are there in these couple of blocks? In the first block there are 3, one right after the other! How the heck do they all stay in business? Anyway, we kept walking, not even knowing what we wanted, just hoping to come upon something that piqued our curiosity. We stopped in at a charming-looking cafe but it was so crowded, noisy and airless we had to leave. Also, they had stopped serving food other than baked goods at 2, and we were just past that. My daughter remembered previously visiting Peaked Pies and suggested we go there. The pies looked delicious and it was hard to decide. I went for the beef and mushroom with gravy on the side and my daughter ordered the veggie pie peaked with mashed potatoes and gravy. The pastry was golden and flaky, the fillings fresh and tasty. The vegetarian gravy was a lovely addition. We also ordered two of their gorgeous tarts, a lemon meringue and a salted caramel drizzled with chocolate. They were about $3.50 each, if I recall accurately. Lately I've been seeing such quality desserts for much more than that. We cut them in half and shared them. Both were really lovely with crisp pastry and no soggy bottoms! Everything was delicious and great "comfort" food. Old-fashioned pies and gravy and luscious tarts for afters. I had a soft drink and all together the tab was about $35. The space was peaceful with quiet music (seemed to be Sting songs done in a mellow EDM style). Nothing obtrusive and we could converse in normal voices without having to yell over offensively loud music. The atmosphere is pleasant and was not crowded at 2:30pm. Peaked Pies gave us a very satisfactory experience and we would definitely return for more pie and gravy gorgeousness. Highly recommended! read more

Delicious pies & sausage rolls and excellent service. We had one pie peaked (steak) and the other one standard (traditional Aussie) and both did not disappoint. Also ordered the spinach roll and sausage roll. The pastry was perfect. Must try, the best Aussie pies I've had! read more

Yum - I love pie! Stopped by when I was in the area and it was a perfect mid afternoon snack. Lots of different options. Went with the classic with the minced beef and added the mashed potatoes and peas on top! Delicious! Awesome flavours and the toppings were plain (since I skipped the gravy to save calories) - you may want to add a bit of salt. The crust isn't that flaky so it's hard to cut through the base. I also think the heating could be more even - otherwise, solid 4 stars! read more

A Savoury Pie Shop down on Denman? Can it be true? Oh yes! I've never tried the Whistler location so can't​ compare. Picked up the Mushroom & Leek (non-peaked) for myself and my date had the Beef Curry Pie complete with the Aussie Peak (mash, gravy and peas). Size wise, it's filling enough. Heavy on the pie pastry, a tad light on the fillings I definitely liked the Beef Curry because it had more taste. You can order the Peak on its own which I might try next time when I get the mash and gravy craving again. Welcome addition to the block. read more

We heard this place was awesome and we were craving Aussie pies so we decided to drive across town to this spot! It's in a pretty chill neighbourhood with parking that's hard to find, so we parked in one of the neighbourhood streets near the restaurant and walked a couple minutes. It's on a cute street with several other small, local shops and restaurants. When you walk in the place isn't too big, but it feels spacious and bright with all the windows in the restaurant. They have a huge counter with a small and simple menu, and a stand with all the pies so you can look and pick which ones you want. You choose a pie and it takes them a couple minutes to warm it up and plate it with whatever sides you choose. It's a fast, casual place where you then pay, sit down and they'll bring the food over to you. I ordered the original, traditional aussie pie which comes with ground beef, onions and gravy! I got it with the get peaked add on which adds mashed potatoes, mushy green peas and more gravy! In total it was a really great price of $11.25! What a deal! You get a delicious, savoury meal at an amazing price - I'm surprised this place isn't more full. But anyways the pies are amazing and the sides just bring it out even more. It balances our the flavors, and each part of the meal was cooked perfectly and complements one another. We also had the mixed berry pie for dessert and that was only $7! It was sweet and a nice addition to our meal. It was hard to tell what the berries were but it was either blue berries or some mix of berries in this family of berries. I'd definitely recommend this place and would love to come back ASAP! read more

Wandered in with a friend post weekend wander. My steak pie and coffee were tasty, but nothing to write home about. As per photo caption, flat white coffee tasted okay, just definitely without the aesthetic finesse you'd usually have from the most average Aussie barista. My friend ordered a pie with mash and a beverage - he was slightly put off when it showed up literally as a pie with a scoop of mash on top, especially after a chat with the cashier about mash and gravy. When he asked about the gravy he was curtly tolded: you didn't pay for any - what a great customer experience hey! Overall, pies were okay - definitely intensely overpriced; coffee was, again okay: drinkable; service is less than indifferent. Definitely somewhere where any tip feels like a waste. Not somewhere you'd would bother to return to for much more than takeout of overpriced meat pies. read more

Been meaning to give place a try but as the patio usually looks untidy, it's kept me away. Ordered a Beef and Guinness pie with mashed potatoes and mushy peas as I call them. Great dish. Nice pleasant staff and bright, clean seating area inside. If the patio was swept a little more it would have been a 5 star! I will certainly recommend the food. read more

First off, get your pie peaked! Don't opt out. The added mound of mashed potatoes, peas and gravy make each bite so much tastier! Their pie pastry is rich, flaky, and just the right thickness to support the filling. We tried the traditional meat pie and the veggie one and they were both delicious in their own way. The veg one had a nice sweetness from the sweet potato, and the melange of veggies made the rich pie feel more balanced. I think that was the only vegan pie on the menu. There's one other vegetarian called Mentil Lentil. I wish they had a few more other veg options like the pie shop we loved in Sydney. :) They also have a few sweet pies, Lamingtons and other treats, coffee, and beer! Their space is open and inviting with outdoor seating available. For about $9 for a yummy and filling peaked pie, I'd definitely come back for an easy lunch! read more

This is my favourite place when I'm feeling like pie for breakfast (or lunch or dinner for that matter). They have a great selection of savoury and sweet pies with some more exotic flavours like "The Hopper" containing kangaroo. They have a location in Whistler that I think is the original, but this one is almost as good, and within city limits so its a lot easier to make the trip out. The coffee here is excellent as well. If you're in the need for a caffeine fix, I recommend the Flat White which will sort you right out. I havent ever been dissappinted by a pie here; the crust is flaky and delicious, and the fillings have the perfect ratio of sauce-to-meat. It can get pretty busy at times and the storefront isnt huge so be prepared to stand in line or take your food to go, but its certainly worth it. My personal favourite is the cheese, steak and bacon pie for dinner, and the apple crumble for dessert. read more

3.5 stars. We got the butter chicken pie ($8.75) with gravy and sauce (+approx $3.25 I think). It was okay. Crust wasn't quite flaky and had a lot of chew, as in it was difficult to bite into to tear a piece off. Chicken was filling and pleasantly creamy but was not especially savory. The mashed potatoes were nice and soft but the gravy was also not too flavorful. Basically, nothing bad tasting here but the pie lacked any really standout tastes. We also got a green tea and a london fog. Both are bagged teas. They were okay. Also nothing too extraordinary but for a teabag tea, the london fog was nice because of the foam. read more

Well! I first went to Peaked Pies in Whistler last year (2023) and was amazed at how good they were, a few of us went and each pie was excellent. Later, went to the one on Denman and it was equally fantastic, sooooo savory, delicious. Fast forward to May 2024, I'm an out of towner and only get to go there when in Vancouver, just went to the one on Denman and had the Chicken, Mushroom and Lentil, my partner had another veggie one. Sadly we were disappointed. Though they were "okay", they just lacked the richness, thickness and savory element we enjoyed last year. What's going on? Seems they ran out of salt or other spices they normally employ. So we were disappointed. We may go back again at a later date and give it one more go. Hey PP, did you change the magical recipe that made you famous? Cutting corners? Anyway, overall not bad but not the eye popping "wow" anymore. At least at that location. I hope they fix this. read more

Peaked Pies is basically two components: A hand-holdable pie + topping. The topping is the "Peaked" gimmick and I'd treat it as such for your money's worth. Peak-ing a pie (up to +$3.50) -You basically get mashed potato, mushy green peas, and gravy if you go for the full "Peak" treatment, but you can also get these components separately. -The peas are just green peas mashed. Nothing special, nothing seasoned. -The mashed potato is also just mashed potato. Nothing special, nothing seasoned, and as a result also terribly bland. Plus what I got was slightly gummy, which is not a fresh-feeling mashed potato texture. -Overall, I'd say this is not really worth it EXCEPT if you don't want to splurge fully for two pies and want a more filling meal portion, because potato and peas can do that for you. You do get a good scoop of peas, like one generous ice cream scoop. A bit more potato. And definitely not quite enough gravy even though it looks like a lot. -If you are feeling spendy, I'd go for two pies instead of Peaking one. Pies -They don't look quite like the picture-perfect-proportioned oven-fresh golden brown pies on the website, and depending on which one you choose they might be flatter and browner (but not burnt). -Also, the crust is chewy and not flaky, which probably makes it easier to pick up and eat in your hand like a burger. However the chewy crust made cutting it more like smushing it, so that actually didn't pair well with peaking at all. -Overall, price for taste and portion is actually really decent! -- If you compare it with, say, a burger since the pies weigh in at well under $10 without peas or potatoes. Each pie should be pretty filling for the meat content which probably weighs in at slightly more than a burger patty. -For a dine-in, the pie wasn't hot or not heated up enough (?). And I think this made a big difference. The Hopper ($7.95 + $3.50 optional peaking) ground kangaroo in a cabernet merlot balsamic reduction -If you're hoping for a novel taste for exotic meat, don't buy this. You'll get a bit of gamey flavour over the flavour of the balsamic reduction. IF you can experience the meat at all it seems pretty close to ground beef in taste and texture. Otherwise pretty tasty. Lemon Meringue ($3.95) -Tastes like lemon meringue! -Crust on top was strangely sticky and chewy like a toasted marshmallow. ANZAC Biscuit ($1.75) -Pretty pricey for a cultural novelty that tastes like an oatmeal cookie with coconut and with the clear sweet flavour of syrup. Bright clean space, communal table, and even the novelty of a self-serve counter. read more

Was way to excited to eat my meat pie before taking a proper picture. My half eaten pie will "half" do for now. Lol. This definitely brought back memories of my last trip to Sydney, AUS. Meat pies were always sold near the train stations and a quick pick-up made it the perfect on-the-go breakfast. Glad to have found this place, as it brought back memories again. The Ned Kelly even tasted just exactly like the ones I've had. If only we had a place like this in Hawaii, I'd come here more often. The Ned Kelly...get it! read more

We only had a couple of days in Vancouver on business before we had to leave. Being an Aussie currently living in the States we always try to find these little pie shops to "scratch an itch." Breakfast was the only time we could get there so unfortunately the entire pie list was not on offer so we had the breakfast menu "Ned Kelly" and a sausage roll. Sausage roll was tasty and I liked the pastry a lot. I found the meat very tasty but if anything a little in the lean side. I really enjoyed it and did order another - I'm being very critical here. My wife enjoyed her Ned Kelly so much that she ordered another one which is unheard of. She loved it and it was very authentic to what you would get back home from any quality bakery (shout out to Dunsborough bakery) Even better, we both checked in on Yelp and got free Minningtons. Delish but stomach ache ensued. I rate this place as the best Aussie meat pie I've had outside of Australia. Bring a store to Boston please! read more

I came to Peaked Pies today to celebrate pi day. While I didn't order their Surf N Turf created especially for the occasion, I wasn't particularly disappointed as it was a whopping $19.95 and can only be ordered as takeout through Foodora.

It was probably a good decision to order the vegan pie without toppings, as I was recovering from the flu and could only finish half of it anyways.

Their pies were gorgeous, I had a veggie pie and honestly the pastry and vegetables in a vegetarian based gravy were amazing.

My one complaint would be that $6.95 for a veg pie and $7.95 for a meat pie is kinda steep, pies shouldn't be priced so high..it's a pie. A hot pie, Bundaberg Ginger Beer and Vanilla Slice for dessert, oh boy. Best aussie pie I have tried so far in Canada. read more

Read about this establishment in a magazine called Where to Eat Vancouver 2020. Well one could not wait until 2020 to eat there. Went there this afternoon, you can order through touch screen or someone at the counter. We ordered the traditional Aussie pie and steak, bacon and cheese and yes we added the peaked option to both. The pies themselves were so delicious one could stop eating them. The seasoning for the pies was spot on. I don't cook with salt at home and I did not find their pies salty. They have the pies available for sale to take home and reheat. First rate place in my opinion. read more
