You have a choice of dining in or takeways here. One 2 different occasions I have purchased 2 x takeaway meals, Slow cooked Beef Cheeks, and Delicious Chicken. Portions of meat are very generous, with a choice of vegetables available plus potato. They usually also offer a "top-up" of a choice of salads...YUM!
Very friendly staff, excellent fast service, with dining outdoors when the day allows.
Coffees are probably the best in town, my fav being Mocha.
Plenty of choice in counter foods too.
We are planninbg to return to have a meal there in situ. Usually a daily choice of 3-4 main course meats.

Slow cooked food that’s just like home cooking with delicious flavours. Excellent value and my tip for two people would be to share the $25 plate, rather than purchasing individual smaller plates.

The menu was quite unique and I couldn't decide what I wanted! Ended up with a leak, goat's cheese and walnut Gozlme and a avocado/spinach/mint/maple/a whole lotta stuff I couldn't remembder smoothie. Both were spot on in taste and didn't leave me feely yuck. Bit pricey, but i'd pay it anyday for how good the food was!

I would have happily eaten every meal at The Big Fig. Delicious food friendly to gf, veg and meat-lovers too. Wonderful coffee and baked goods.
