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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Had the Sunday roast, it was amazing. Roast beef with Yorkshire pudding it was so tasty and so nicely presented I felt like I was on MasterChef. Desert was lovely too, I had the lemon meringue tart with raspberries and sorbet. Best meal I've had in years. I will definitely be back. 😉👍

I absolutely love the food here. The deep fried pickles are just amazing, the puffed potato with pulled pork amazing, the pana cotta with rhubarb sorbet also amazing. The crab crustini was so light and fresh and perfect. My friend had the mussels and apparently they are amazing too! Also, on top of, that Lucy one of the owners is so lovely and friendly. It was a perfect dining experience. A really perfect lunch from a small local business owner. We couldn't have been more delighted.

It’s a lovely restaurant with friendly staff. Lovely food too. My only thing I would suggest is where I don’t mind paying a service charge perhaps make people aware of this in advance as I have done previously in other places as people often have to save to go out for a treat and this may take them by surprise and cause embarrassment. Not everybody looks at the website either so this info may be on there but people will miss that.
