Buon cibo. Buona atmosfera. Servizio adeguato. Prezzi un po' alti.

Have been a few times and always had good service and excellent food. Would highly recommend

Lovely three course meal, friendly attentive staff, had a great lunch.

Food was amazing, we will definitely be back, really lovely place. Staff were very attentive. Enjoyed it very much.

Pleasant, welcoming staff and excellent food. Very varied menu that will cater for many tastes.

Nice restaurant decoration. Appeared to be understaffed. Lunch menu looked ok but food took a while to arrive and probably on a par with many pub lunches. Expensive for Mediocre food.

Excellent food beautifully presented., Also great Vegan selection. Staff very good.

Excellent food, friendly service and real taste to the carefully presented and conceived dishes.

The Braided Fig was a fantastic restaurant with a good atmosphere. For me, the only thing I think was lacking was real napkins rather than paper serviettes.

My wife and I were looking forward to dining at the Braided Fig as we hadn't been for a number of years. We had noticed that they were part of the Aberdeen Restaurant Week (ARW) 3 course for £20 deal so decided to book a table online for my wife's birthday. When we arrived, we were greeted and taken to our table. When we were given the normal restaurant menu, I advised that we had booked for ARW. The waitress subsequently advised that this was only available for pre-bookings only. When I advised that we had pre-booked (I started my online booking by clicking on the Braided Fig restaurant link contained on the ARW website), I was advised that you have to put a note on your booking advising that is for the ARW deal. When I pointed out to the waitress that she essentially wasn't going to offer us the ARW menu for something as little as not clarifying this within the booking request, she confirmed this to be correct and advised that they were limited to the number of guests this deal could be offered to. For clarity, the restaurant was only around half full at this time. Following a minute or two of deliberation, we made the decision to finish our drinks and head somewhere else for dinner given what we felt was a very petty position taken by the restaurant. When we confirmed this to the restaurant and asked for our drinks bill, this was not challenged or queried whatsoever and the bill swiftly arrived. I find it difficult to understand why a small, privately owned, local restaurant would let paying customers depart for something as small and simple as a choice of menu. I'm happy to admit that going back through the booking process, it did ask you to confirm that the booking was for ARW and this is an error on my part. I still don't think however that this merits the response we received from the restaurant. Its almost like they are grudgingly taking part in ARW given the lengths they are going to. Disappointed and to top it off, reluctantly had to pay £8 for a glass of warm Prossecco. On the positive note, we had a pleasant evening at Vovem around the corner where the service was excellent.

Good food, good value for money and not too big. We would recommend to others and will be back soon

Below average drinks and deserts, good starters & mains in Aberdeen restaurant week it was good value for money

Went there for £10pp Aberdeen restaurant week. Supposed to be highlighting what Aberdeen restaurants have to offer. Even that was too much for what we got. Heinz tomato soup by the taste and deep fried breadcrumb fish sticks in a stodgy roll with bit of lettuce and tartar sauce. We also got the £10 level of service compared to the couple next to us who weren’t there for restaurant week. Been here quite a lot over the years but I don’t think we’ll be back again. I would have been embarrassed to serve that at home to be honest.

Food was amazing! Service good, restaurant became a bit loud at times.

Fantastic service, would recommend and definitely intend to go back soon soon!

Food was delicious and service excellent! Will be recommending and visiting again.

Incredible food, and fantastic service. Can’t wait to come back and sample some more of the menu

Lovely afternoon spent with my best friend of 56 years. The staff were absolutely lovely, the service was attentive but not intrusive, and the food was delicious, some of the best we’ve had in ages. Thank you for making our day out special.

Fantastic menu. Want to eat everything so will have to revisit. Beautiful restaurant.

I ended up changing the timing of our table of 6 three times due to changing plans for my son’s graduation and the staff were so lovely about it even though it must have been very frustrating.

Nice place, very good food and staff were helpful and accommodating with our food intolerances.

Excellent food and service made for a truly enjoyable dinner

Delicious food and drink and our server was lovely, thank you. See you again soon

Tried this restaurant tonight for the first time was very pleased with his of a very lovely polite food was good hot reasonable priced

Awesome food and great service! Highly recommend this restaurant! Thank you

4 of us visited and the food was brilliant although the malteser cheesecake was disappointing, no malteaser taste and it was too cheesy. Restaurant is really nice and service was good. I would definitely go there again and would recommend to others!

The 'optional' 10% service charge is not really optional, it's automatically included in your bill.

First time in a lot of years Will be back

It was a very enjoyable evening with some good food.

Lovely staff. Decent waiting times. Scallops could be more filling,

Food was delicious as was the atmosphere. I would highly recommend. A lovely family run business.

Great place to enjoy great tasting modern dishes, which are beautifully presented and served by friendly staff. And all this for very reasonable prices.

The meal was exceptional - 2 courses and a bottle of wine. Excellent table service and food presentation just lovely. Would definately recommend this lovely place. First class. 👍👍

Excellent food, great bottle of red at reasonable price, helpful staff really nice night

Very good food just a big shame about the service

Amazing food - really great options, food to die for & wonderful presentation

Delicious food and great service. We would Highly recommend a visit

Great presentation of food, and good service. Will definitely go back .

Sunday evening was quiet but the staff and food were lovely

excellent service, quality and quantity of food. standard service charge of 10% added for a table of 4 with toddler excessive (we would have given that amount+ anyway, just principal for me) but overall we enjoyed our visit and will visit again. slight mark down for atmosphere as it was so quiet but not their fault and picked up as we were leaving.

Food excellent,service second to none.good selection on the menu. Do you do locality cards, I've booked a table for next week.

Unfortunately sat beside a very loud table, thankfully they were finished eating before us and once they left our experience became more enjoyable.

Staff was friendly Food was great Nice atmosphere Restaurant was clean

Fantastic food, great restaurant and would highly recommend a visit.

The only issue was that the restaurant was very quiet

Enjoyed our visit to the Braided Fig for lunch. The service was excellent, attentive, very friendly and relaxed. Food was good and a great selection.

This was quite simply one of the best meals and service I have ever had in Aberdeen and I eat out a lot. Food was faultless. Can’t wait to go back.

Cant fault the staff, they were wonderful, atmosphere just right. On the whole our food was very good, I had fillet steak with tailbone stovies, but the sauce and stovies had been over salted. It could be a personal taste but there was two of us who had the dish and we both said the same.
