The Braided Fig

I went to The Braided Fig for lunch with a couple of friends. It was a Thursday but I was surprised to find there were only another couple of diners in which made the atmosphere quiet but not unpleasant. The menu is new and I chose the Ducktater, a confit duck ‘burger’ which came with coleslaw and chips - it was really tasty and very filling. My friends had the Festive Fig burger, a burger with sage & onion stuffing etc which they raved about. The waitress was very polite, attentive and friendly without being intrusive. Would recommend

Overall an amazing experience. I took my partner for our anniversary as he had never been to the Braided Fig before and I had had a lovely meal with friends there a few months ago. It did not leave us disappointed. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The service from both waitresses was lovely and attentive but we didn't feel rushed nor forgotten about. We will definitely be back and would thoroughly recommend.

First time eating here. Service very friendly and attentive, food amazing. Cocktails very good.

Food, wine and experience was great. Will be back when next in Aberdeen.

Very busy - quite slow service - nice staff - good food

Our meal was delicious, we would highly recommend a visit.

Thoroughly enjoyed a first visit to The Braided Fig and would be happy to recommend to others. All dishes were well thought out and tasted excellent!

Really friendly staff, fantastic menu and the food is delicious!

Lovely Sunday Roast dinner with friends. We had both choices and all agreed it was lovely and value for money😁👍

Quiet, nice surroundings. Food was good, service was pleasant, Price was fair. Service charge already added to bill.

Lovely welcome and waiting staff very efficient and courteous Food brilliant.

Everyone and everything was fantastic, especially the live music 🎶

The staff were very welcoming, and opened the door for us to bring in our pram. The service was attentive. We all had the Sunday roast which was delicious and a good sized portion. The only improvement I’d suggest would be to include drinks menus at the table.

The food was so good, plenty of selection on the menu . The staff were very polite and friendly

The food was excellent- the staff were so friendly and service spot on.

Food was excellent. Staff was very nice Would go again

Great lunch and great atmosphere would go again .... .

Food was amazing, good service and the staff were great

We arrived at 6pm, was given some water and our order was taken at 6.20pm. we agreed with the server that one course only may be advisable as we told him that we had to leave by 7.15pm, to get to a concert in the music hall. ( I also wrote this note on the booking form.). When our one main course had not arrived at 6.55pm, I went and enquired about how much longer it would be. And was ready to leave. At 7pm, the food arrived, it was hot and quite tasty, though the steak was not pink as advertised, and requested the bill at the same time. We will not be coming again when we have a deadline to leave by, but I did expect to manage to eat more than one course in an hour and a quarter. Your loss,we would have spent more money in the restaurant.

Food was ok, nothing special I’m afraid. Unfortunately, the restaurant lacked any atmosphere and the service was extremely slow. 6pm booking and got our main courses at 7.15pm. Won’t rush back as rather expensive for just an ok experience.

Food was great but took an hour to arrive at the table. Restaurant was not busy when we arrived so no idea what the delay was for.

Been a while since I have been, but food was as good as ever. Staff very friendly and we all enjoyed everything :-)

Great food and fantastic service, what more could you ask for?

I very much enjoyed my meal here, the turbot and roll to start were great. The service was excellent. Unfortunately my partners scampi had not been cleaned properly, we were not charged which made up for the disappointment ti some extent. The Viognier was lovely. I would like to return.

Lovely venue awesome food and the staff are wonderful - if I were here for a longer stay I’d visit again

Loved the restaurant but wish the online menu had been updated.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch at The Braided Fig. Lovely food, excellent friendly service and background music perfect to allow for normal conversation. Thank you 😊

Great food and great service. I’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend :)

Enjoyed our meal and great service. Good to participate in restaurant week and try new places. We will be back.

Visited here last night as part of Foodie Fortnight. 5 star food and service and we will absolutely be going back again.

Service was extremely slow and other tables on the normal menu being served before us. If a restaurant decides to partake in aberdeen restaurant week, honor these customers with the same level of service

This was our first visit to the Braided Fig. The food and service were absolutely fantastic, we will definitely be returning. Thank you to the staff everyone was so friendly and helpful, a real credit to the restaurant.

Everything was exceptional from the service we received, the quality of the food, the ambiance and the price. I have already been recommending to everyone I know and will return again and again

We had delicious food and the service was very good

Nice ambience , friendly, helpful staff & nice menu. All our meals were delicious. 60 pound reservation fee a bit unusual given that it was so quiet in the restaurant on a Wednesday & may make you uncompetitive ..

Loved the food and the service was spot on as always

Great service, great roast, can't wait for our next visit

Stumbled upon it - it is quite hidden as it is overpowered by the pub next door - and went in 20 mins early for my booking - not an issue as it was a slow night. Offered water and a drink immediately, and selected a cocktaisl off the interesting menu - bar looked pretty stocked so i am confident I would have been able to order off-book. Pretty extensove wine list for a place this size! Had a couple of white wines and the Gin/Elderflower/Prosecco cocktail - sprig of mint and frozen grapes was very complimentary. I chose the Cullen Skink which was hearty and smoky - lots of leek and potatoes and not overpowered by too much fish - just the right amount. I added black pepper to mine. The crusty bread was amazing. Main was the North Sea Cod on a chick pea and sausage tomato cassoulet - I couln't finish as i was too full. Cod was moist and flaky, chickpeas al dente and broccholini was crunchy and verdant green. Would recommend.

Lovely food, very friendly waiter only down side was that it wasn't busy, it is a hidden gem that people need to visit

I don't want to write 10 words. 1 2 3.

Lovely meal, great service and perfect pace - priced reasonably considering the excellent food. I think this is a hidden gem in Aberdeen - well done

Good service lovely food and wine We will be back

We had a lovely meal. The food was excellent and the service very good. Particularly enjoyed the chicken wontons which is one of their special dishes. One of Aberdeens hidden gems.

The food was fantastic and the staff were great. We will definitely be back to The Braided Fig on future visits to Aberdeen.

Always a lovely meal at The Braided Fig and this was no exception. Thoroughly recommend as an independent Aberdeen restaurant!

Great food , great service, overall very pleased. Great atmosphere.

Good food and nice people. A place where you want to come back
