They said they've only been open for 9 weeks. The food was delicious and we can be particular with food at times as we have worked in hospitality. The caramelized onion gozleme and preserved lemon couscous were my favorite. We even bought more as takeaway and enjoyed it at the end of the Hooker Valley track overlooking the glacial lake in Mt. Cook. The staff are friendly. Go. Yum.

The food is amazing and the place looks really cool. It's nice to have a quick healthy alternative. We had dinner here and came back for lunch the next day.

Fantastic food, service, local wine and very welcoming and friendly staff. Great Lake views and 1 min walk from lake wanaka. Perfect place to eat after a day skiing. They also have a take out/take away available if you are wanting to eat your dinner on the lake front.

Yes, such a meal does exist! You can either eat in or take away.
You buy a number of units of food and then pick from the cabinet what you what. This is geared really well for those needing a gluten free diet. Also lots of choices for dairy and soy free diets too. Well priced and very tasty.
Staff were helpful and knowledgable.
New eaterie, has been completely refurbished. Licensed too.
We went in the evening when the food comes out from 5.30pm. First come, first served for the odd dish but others are replenished throughout the evening.

On a shortish trip to Wanaka, we happened to find a free table in the Big Fig when the other places we tried were all full.
Because I didn't get to visit the other places (that were all full), I cannot say whether Big Fig is similar, better or worse than its Wanaka competitors.
However, they are about the same as most of the average places we've visited in Auckland, so I rate them average because of that.
