Very kind waiters; they have been careful to me for my dairies intolerance finding me tasty alternative solutions. Thanks guys
Was a lovely atmosphere, staff were attentive but not overbearing, the menu was lovely & the food itself was delicious.
Friendly attentive waiter and waitress. Explained the specials well. Great food and drinks. Good atmosphere in restaurant when it got busier.
Excellent food and service. Will definitely be back to sample more of the menu
Food was lovely, nice portions and ate too much as usual. Happily return, was great service, food was impressive. Good combinations. Will recommend for sure. We had Sunday roast, very good. A++
Well presented lovely local food. We will be back again
Nice welcome. We were 20 minutes early but we're shown straight to our table in the window. Starters were great, one main was excellent the other (Cod) was didappointing. Good range of beers and wine. Very friendly and attentive service. Would go again.
Lovely food and really pleasan and helpful.staff Lively and busy restaurant
Lovely food and nice place to go on a nice summer day
It was freezing cold and my festive burger didn’t feel very festive, disappointing as the 3/4 times I’ve been before it’s been fabulous
Awesome evening. Food excellent and great ambiance. Will definitely go back.
Excellent food and service as always. Braided Fig never disappoints
Service very good, food okay but batter greasy and fish better on a plate. Tartare sauce unusual. Top marks for fresh peas n’ham served with fish
Lunch during aberdeenbrestaurant week was enjoyable. Restaurant temperature itself was bit cool though. Fig and ginger pudding was very nice -generous portion with lots of butterscotch sauce.
Great food and great service in a lovely place. Thank you
The chairs were on cobbles and I was rocking the whole time. It was also quite cold. My salmon was hard and unseasoned.
One of my favourite restaurants in Aberdeen - excellent food, service, atmosphere and value for money.
First visit. Friendly and welcoming staff, lovely decor / setting and amazing well cooked / well presented food. Large portions too, which was great! Couldn’t fault any of the food. Spot on! 👍🏻 I’d have much preferred to have decided what tip to pay myself though, rather than it being added on automatically, so that was a little off putting but other than that… faultless! 😃 We will most definitely be back! 👌🏻 Thanks

Perhaps busy with Aberdeen restaurant week. Good food and drink.
Delicious lunch, great value fixed price menu. Service was excellent.
Absolutely stunning food and service. Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone.
Staff not very welcoming. Food over priced. Vegan Mac and cheese very disappointing. Took an £11 service charge. Didn't enjoy our experience. Korean cauliflower starter was delicious though.
Well the food wasn't bad but it definitely did step up to the hype about them online . It was quiet bland and presentation wasnt best either. I've seen so much positive reviews so I had my hopes up and maybe that was my mistake . As I mentioned the food was just OK . Stuff was nice and friendly . Overall all atmosphere is strange as it is very quiet there and u basically hearing anyone who speaks in the restaurant. Also For some reason place was empty when we arrived and they still try to squish us into the smallest tablet in the corner of the restaurant. I asked to move us somewhere else and they did. I will not be back again.
Server was welcoming and attentive. She knew the menu well and was able to answer any points we raised. Menu had something for all tastes and was well presented. Wine was reasonably priced and again, offered a range to suit all food. We were left to enjoy our food and post lunch drinks which was perfect! Only slight issue was the lack oh heat on arrival but we did warm up as place became busier. Would visit again but wear more layers!
Visited with a friend who required gluten free menu whole experience was excellent
It’s always a real treat to go to the Braided Fig. The food is always excellent and the portions are massive. Service is always great too.
Fantastic food only equalled by the fabulous service. Have never been before but I will be again!!! Thank you for a fab evening

Fab food Lovely staff Will definitely go back 👍 👍
Food was great, slight hiccups in service but no biggie. Will definitely be back
Lovely atmosphere, great service, excellent menu, something for all tastes. Food was good. Can’t wait to return.
Great food - beautifully presented. Lovely atmosphere. Felt we were a bit rushed - asked for a wee break before dessert but after waiter came over third time in ten minutes we felt obliged to take it then. Other than that a great experience.
Food and service was great, it is definitely worth a visit!
When we arrived we were welcomed in by a lovely waitress and shown our table. Our drinks came but we waited 30mins for our starter of duck liver parfait and when it arrived the sourdough bread was rock hard - very over toasted. For my main course I had the burger and I was looking forward to it but was unfortunately let down. The bun was so over toasted I literally snapped it in half, the pulled beef was dry and the outer ring around the burger was very over cooked. Overall I was very disappointed with the food after being recommended your establishment by a friend who works in the food industry.
The food was delicious, a little pricy but with the quality of the food you knew where your money is going! It is a really charming little restaurant, a hidden gem in Aberdeen.
Warm welcome from staff in a very unique looking restaurant. Top quality food with superb presentation.
Always a super warm welcome and great service! Wide menu choices, including vegan options and amazing selection of side dishes - we shared a portion of the parmesan fries with truffle aioli. 😍😍 After a very satisfying 2 course we found ourselves sadly unable to sample any desserts 😔 Just one reason to make a return visit. See you soon!
good service, nice drinks, atmosphere lovely, but most of all absolutely delicious food; everything we had was yummy and everyone enjoyed .
Amazing food. Time between courses was quite a while but the staff apologised more than once. They were short staffed and very busy indeed so we didn’t mind. Noise level was quite high and difficult to hear our companion at times. Didn’t detract from the fantastic food though.
This was my second time visiting & a great place to meet up with my friend. It was her first visit. We loved it Food was first class & the waiter that served us was excellent. Couldn’t do enough for us. We will be back.
Our lunch at the Braided Fig was fantastic as always. Lovely Crab Crostini Starter, Lemon Sole with Samphire, brown shrimp, grapes, and Cauliflower for Main Course was delightful. Cheese Board to finish with just the right amount of cheese, biscuits, and Relish. My only complaint is that they serve the wine in a wet, chilled glass. I asked them not to last time and they were perfectly happy to accommodate my request, but I forgot this time and got the wet glass again. Certainly won't stop me returning. Always attentive and friendly service. They do add a 10% service charge which is unusual in Aberdeen, but happy to pay it.
Lovely staff and delicious food 😊 Will definitely be back.
Food & service superb, Chablis a steal for the price, gem of a place, never disappoints 👍
Great choice of seafood dishes and variety of specials, helpful staff
Food was amazing and excellent service. Very good menu options. Staff remembered us from our last visit which was a nice touch. Make sure to order dessert
Booked this for a birthday lunch with my mum. I am so pleased I did. Our waitress was very welcoming and efficient. The food was fresh & delicious. Brilliant.🥂
