Suzy's review of Fig Bistro

I have just booked a table at Fig and this reminded me to review the previous visit I paid a couple of weeks ago. It was my partner’s birthday so I wanted a special night. A friend of mine recommended me this lovely little restaurant and the settings were indeed perfect for this occasion. Now food! We have been so fortunate to eat at a lot of fine restaurants but at Fig we were both blown away by the quirky combinations of flavours. The selection of wines for such a small establishment was quite impressive. Friendly and smiling staff guided us through the jungle of both wine and food and we ended up with a perfect match. We had an organic red wine, Banniers, which was fantastic with the lamb and the wood pigeon. Between the dishes there were funky art work on the walls and John Coltrane. The waitress recommended champagne with the cheese. This was new to us as we usually go with port but new standards were set. I am looking forward to next week.
