After check in at the Quality Hotel Elms, we wandered downstairs and asked the front desk about nearby pubs with patios. The ‘concierge’? said, “we have a patio”. I said “I need craft beer that is not Heineken or Budweiser”. The concierge smiled and said “we have that”. I said “show me this goodness”. We sat outside on the Fig Restaurant and Bar patio for a few hours and ran the Monteith's brewery tap list. We were lucky in that this seemed to be the only pub/bar in the area that actually had a patio and we made the most of it. Beer was great. Service was great. I think they also ran the restaurant in the hotel but am not 100% sure so wont comment on the food.
A very nice restaurant. Has the advantage of being associated with the Elms Hotel.
First time had dinner at Fig on Papanui road. Had two entree ( chargrilled squid and Fig fried chicken) and two main ( pan fried market fish and chicken paillard)which made us full and unfortunately was no room for dessert.
Entree was good especially fried chicken was so so good. But the main meal was not for me. Pan fried fish came with a soup and the chicken was under cooked. Plating was pretty.
A hidden gem. We had a really enjoyable dinner. Friendly and thoughtful service from our waiter Alex. The kids meals were generous with a good variety to suit the palettes. The dish of the night for the adults was the rib eye which was full of flavour and cooked to perfection.
Not been here since covid, wow new menu and it was delish, started with chargrilled squid, followed by pork belly and finished with a refreshing berry dessert, great friendly service as always, look forward to coming back on a more regular basis 😁
Very nice surroundings. We shared a small snack that was very well presented. Really impressed with the service.
80 year olds birthday dinner, food fabulous, service fabulous and the venue perfect. Fantastic night.
we had christmas lunch at Fig. It was the best christmas we have had for years. The food and service were absolutely amazing.We will be going again and recommending it to others. We thought the price was a bit steep at first but after having the meal it was well worth it.
Atmosphere is great - relatively quiet music and able to hear the person you're dining with. Food quality was 9/10. Food portions quite small (definitely not worth the amount you pay for). Staff was friendly and accommodating. Our drinks arrived late and they took it off our bill which was very nice of them. I highly recommend the choc tart - would come here again and again for it :)
Delicious food, priced on the higher end but is worth it. We had the salmon and Angus steak. Was amazing! Everything was amazing, able to make drinks ordered off menu, nice and warm by the fire. Waitresses made multiple stops by our table to check food and service was good.
Great service. Great prices. Meals were very well cooked and presented. Staff friendly, smiling and always checking if everything was ok or if you needed another drink. A really nice dining experience.
Delicious food. Lovely cute desserts. Great for those with a sweet tooth. The lamb rack was delicious and Carlos our waiter was very attentive and polite. Great service. Looking forward to coming back!
5 Star dining. So impressed!!! Had dinner there 2 nights in a row. Staff were amazing, food was to die for!! Myself and the 5 others could not fault it. The setting/Bar area is extremely modern and high end quality. On the first night I finished my kids pasta. It was so good I ordered it as a main the next night.. LOL!! and that's pasta off the kids menu!!
Must go!!!!!
Possibly the best service we have experienced anywhere - meals were amazing - they made our anniversary dinner a night to remember - so taken with the generosity of the restaurant we have booked with the hotel to stay a weekend next month - will definitely return to the restaurant..
