It has a lovely relaxed atmosphere especially for the summer months and the vibe is very easy.This is not a place you come to to rush - it facilitates a nice long slow lunch and chats with friends.There's outdoor and indoor seating, access for wheelchair users, and neat and clean bathrooms.It's not fine dining, but the rustic envionrment is well-hidden away and they seem to serve a regular crowd.Food is good and well-prepared, though some might find the speed of service a bit lacking. Drink selection cold be improved, but overall, nothing that harms the experience.

First time visit after a recommendation from family. The kudu medallions were lovely with the peppercorn sauce (arrived cooler than expected though). The roasted vegetables were great (especially potatoes). My highlight was the peppermint terrarium! So good and delicate and a feast for the eyes. Location was great, and easy to find with good parking. My cousin and I enjoyed it!

We did not have a booking but were lucky enough to get a table. Everything on the menu sounded very good, i settled on the slow cooked pork belly. Slow cooked for 8hrs! It was perfect, it melted like butter. Served with vegetables and crispy crackeling. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu.

A hidden diamond in the middle of Cape Town, really good restaurant with a well choice of wines and amazing food! Marriott Crystal Tower was sold out and randomly they send me to the Marriott Protea Mowbray, middle of nowhere, but good restaurant!

Had a lovely family gathering. Waiter looked after our table really well. Food service was good in terms of timing and quality of meals presented. Portions were brilliant.

Had a great time celebrating a friends belated birthday. Happy hour from 5 to 7. Meal of Karoo lamb ragout was better than expected. Really delicious. More than enough sauce in the dish, could have had a little bit more chunkier pieces of meat.

Sadly this place has gone backwards since I last visited 4 years ago. The attention to detail is lacking in everything. From the chipped side plates to the waiter that couldn't recommend a wine or keep our glasses topped. The food was good but everything that came out of the kitchen had a large sprig of parsley rather uninventively placed on top. It used to be a hidden gem but now it just feels like a tired place that will likely close down soon.

First time we've been back to our favourite restaurant since Covid struck.Unfortunately things weren't all that great and 4 of us felt that it had lost its upmarket status and had simply become a restaurant with expensive food.My salmon cakes were watery, the duck breast was dry. The Risotto and hake were great.Service was very slow. We were never asked if we needed anything once our meals had arrived. We had to call the waiter every time we wanted something. He was super friendly and helpful once we flagged him down.On the one side we had loud jazz music playing from the hotel and, on the other side, a pub singer entertaining the bar crowd.Lovely setting for a Saturday afternoon pub lunch but definitely not for patrons who want an upmarket experience which the Fig has always been known for.

We popped into this place yesterday for a quick lunch. I had be recommended it by friends as was close by. It certainly didn’t disappoint. Charles our waiter was eloquent and smart. He put us next to the fire as it was cold and wet outside, then tempted us with the specials. We both went for the bangers and mash which were served quickly and were superb. Great mash and gravy. Will definitely return to try more on the menu if we are in the vicinity.
