The Wild Fig Restaurant

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!

Waitress Sophia, great service , attention to detail, however the beer battered Hake was a bit disappointing, not crispy as it should be and the Drinks, I know what a double shot shot taste,look like , the Jameson double and Lime tasted a bit watered down.....other than that...
Service 5/5
Presentation 4/5
Food 3/5
Drinks 3/5

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.

Lovely solo dinner at The Wild Fig mid week. Relaxed atmosphere, fire in the grate to keep the cold away and gentle soulful music by candlelight. Quite lovely. Food and wine very enjoyable!

Great quality and delicious food with a very reasonable price. Attentive waiter and friendly staff. The cosy fireplace makes this spot ideal for winter dates. We had the ratatouille and lamb ragout and it was out of this world. Very impressed. Decor could do with a bit of an upgrade - posters in the bathroom still referencing the drought. Other than that, can’t fault them.

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.

This is a Cape Town classic. Hearty, good food, an interesting old building..even a real fig tree. Great place to get away for a comfortable lunch. They also have good party facilities. I have had a kid's party here and numerous UCT staff parties.
