Great new lunch spot.inviting display of food .Some options do need explaining.A great array of salads..the Israeli couscous was great.
In a wine area it is a bit odd to offer unlisted red or white though.Is there a wine list.
Warm and inviting. Will be popular

I have a love hate relationship with Big Fig, I hate it because I now spend all my wages there ;) I love it because, as a coffee snob, the barista makes amazing coffee and the food, the best tapas outside of Spain.
Thank you Big Fig

Big Fig sells delicious salads and soups. When I visited, I loved the $7 soup of the day with a warm pita. They have plenty of salads that you can mix and match. They also serve great coffee and have free wifi for customers. Big Fig is a nice cozy place to have a meal on a chilly winter day in Wanaka!

Went here on Saturday to grab some food and a coffee, the food looked great, it was busy but standing at the counter waiting to be service with my money in my hand no one even acknowledged me! One lady who worked there walked up to the counter looked at me then the ipad and grabbed her water from under the counter and turned back to talk to her work mates. I still stood there with my money then decided to take my business elsewhere! You wont get far if you continue to run your business like that.

Hey, I'm so sorry that happened - I'd feel p'off too! Hopefully just early-days speed wobbles. We've had a chat in our staff meeting to figure out how to stop this ever happening again. Here's hoping you give us another chance!
