The Wild Fig

We spend our anniversary date here a week ago. It was not my first time visiting, but the greek lamb in phyllo pastry made a huge impression on me, I had to have it again.<br/ My biggest issue was the fact that when we arrived, even though I had booked, we did not have a table prepared for us and when we were eventually seated, we were given a table with a very dirty table cloth, and no table setting laid. This was not very welcoming or inviting.<br/ <br/ That being said, we had a lovely waiter who engaged us at all points during the evening, and food was really good, as expected.

This place is such a hidden gem! Delicious food, cozy, warm, romantic atmosphere, with a fireplace lovely for a chilly evening! The service was excellent. Waiter was efficient, friendly, and made great suggestions. Had a lovely evening here. Really liked the warm atmosphere and good food, will be back to try more from the menu : the pork belly is a must, the cheesecake was also delicious.

I loved the atmosphere and the food was great. Our waiter checked in on us and we weren't forgotten about even though it was quite busy. Overall good service and really great food.

Great atmosphere when looking for a warm place on a cold winter's evening in Cape Town. There were four of us. 2 of us had starters, the Camembert and the Sardines. Both were delicious. For main courses we ordered a steak, some lamb in pastry, the pork belly and the lamb shank. The latter was my choice. While the shank was extremely tasty, I must admit that I expected a bit more meat on the bone. There was lots of mash which however was a little bit too stiff for my taste. Out waiter was very efficient and friendly. So, in a nutshell: it was a very nice evening.

I loved the atmosphere and the fireplace is perfect for the cold nights. It feels like you are somewhere in the winelands minus the long drive. <br/ <br/ Had a risotto and it was delicious and didn’t miss the meat at all. Service was great and our waiter knew the menu well. The pies are also made to order and you can be guaranteed freshness.<br/ <br/ The only odd thing was that we were asked if we wanted bread. Can’t wait to get back for live music.
