Fig was a pleasant surprise for a late lunch in Biltmore Village. After a full morning of sightseeing in the River Arts District, we stopped at Fig for something simple, but also had low expectations since the surrounding area seemed a bit touristy. We had the pup in tow so we were forced to sit outside on the patio where it was quite chilly. However, they offered us outdoor space heaters which kept us perfectly warm. Our server was super friendly and gave us great recommendations. I started with a cup of hot coffee but was quickly convinced to follow it up with a glass of red wine. I had to order the bolognese after recommendation from the server and it was fantastic. The pasta was al dente and the red sauce was tasty. I also tried the seasonal soup - the butternut squash, which was hearty and perfect on such a cold day. The egg salad sandwich was STACKED and topped with smoked salmon. Everything we tried was delicious - I'm sad to see they were impacted by Helene but hope to see them reopen soon!! read more

My friend recently had her bridal luncheon here for her wedding in Asheville. This spot is SO cute! They set us up at a table on patio and it was perfect weather. The mimosas were so tasty and they definitely didn't skip out on the champagne. We split some charcuterie, salads and BLT and everything was amazingly delicious. I will most definitely be back when I'm in Asheville! read more

Mostly a wine place, but we just needed a coffee and a place to sit for 20 minutes before our dinner reservation across the street. Out of drip coffee, so we ordered 2 americanos. Prepared in just a couple minutes. As we were leaving the hostess offered us a free donut as it was close to closing time. We decided to split the pumpkin donut. The coffee was great. And the donut was excellent. Parking very limited. read more

This Restaraunt was destroyed in Helene. Should not be coming up in search options. Please reflect this in the algorithms.

Place was clean and had a great ambiance. Food was plain boring and simple for what they charge. I had a lobster roll that was nothing like any lobster roll I tried. It came with a salad that was dry. I asked for extra dressing and it was overpowering with olive oil. My husband had a burger that was dry and no flavor. Lobster roll had barely any lobster. Potato soup was more water and didn't taste like anything. Waste of money. read more

Amazing food! The service was great and very accommodating. I have gluten sensitivity and they did a great job making accommodations. Can't say enough good about this little gem. We will be back. read more

I stopped in for lunch and I'm so glad I did. First of all, the lighting at lunch is fabulous. They have windows on both sides of the restaurant and it is just lovely. Bright, light, airy. Perfect lunch environment. Today I wanted something small and light so I asked my server what she suggested and she recommended the duck confit salad which was not on the menu so of course I went with that. It was the perfect recommendation and met my needs exactly. Satisfying but not too filling. I left perfectly happy. read more

This place is an absolute gym. I just came here for lunch and it was so delicious. Deviled eggs - beautifully presented just slightly lacking in flavor but not terrible. Grilled cheese- this has got to be the absolute best grilled cheese I've ever had in my life. The bread is toasted to perfection, it's light and buttery, and the combination of cheese and green apple is divine. My server's name was Ty or Tay. He made an old fashioned for me and it was his first time making one - I couldn't tell. This had to have been the most delicious old-fashioned I have ever tasted in my life. Friendly and accommodating staff and beautiful setting - highly recommended! read more

No figs on the menu cause FIG stands for Food Is Good. And it is!!! Best meal we've had all summer. But the most amazing thing about our meal was the Cozy Fig cocktail. Our server was awesome and the chef that we were raving about came out to show us the black Tuscan truffle that garnished my Amberjack fish special that was phenomenal. Hubby had a delicious smash burger. Wine from France and Spain. We never wanted to leave. read more

My wife and I ate lunch here on a Wednesday and sat outside in the courtyard. We got the cheese plate as an appetizer and I got the smash burger. My wife got the quiche. The food and service were outstanding. Unfortunately the only off putting thing was there was a man sleeping on a park bench in the courtyard outside the restaurant (about 40 feet away), who had 2 large bottles of malt liquor in front of him. He woke up and proceeded to urinate on one of the brick pillars of the building. Several female customers saw this happen. Not exactly what you want to see when you're eating a meal. read more

A great lunch. Chicken schnitzel was creative and delish. Goat cheese panna cottta with pears was unusual and nicely assembled. Small patio.... a great hidden gem. read more

The food was fantastic! We compared it with Alice Water's Chez Panise restaurant in Berkeley CA but you don't have reserve 2 months in advance! Fig is a classic French bistro and has right the balance of excellent food and attentive service. The ambience is casually modern. Noise levels were not overly high and conversation was easy without having to shout. Their outside patio looked beautiful but the night we were there it was just a bit too cold, although they do have heaters. Might be perfect for outdoor dining during lunch service. Definitely check their website for hours. Lunch service is only during weekdays while dinner is only 4 nights per week I believe it's Thursday-Sunday. We'll definitely be back!! read more

Nice vibe....we've wanted to try it out for awhile and definitely did not disappoint!! Highly recommend!! I had the salmon which was recommended by our server and it was amazing! Stacked vertically in a delicious saffron sauce it was perfectly cooked.....I ate every bit. Looking forward to going back, I'd love to try the trout too. read more

Fig is a cozy spot right in Biltmore Village with the look of a trendy bistro, limited but delicious and decadent menu, and top notch service! We recently visited for our anniversary and brought our son along. My husband ordered the short ribs which were not short on flavor (ha ha) and cooked to perfection. My son and I both enjoyed the pan seared salmon on fingerlings. A perfect amount of food and all cooked to please. They've got house cocktails, teas, sodas, and local brews to accompany your meal. Don't forget to grab dessert--we ordered the panna cotta and it was melt in your mouth heaven! If you're looking for something a little different, with easy parking, close to downtown, this is your spot! read more

Nice ambiance inside and in the courtyard. Modest portions, great flavors, a bit pricey. Target audience seems to be early retiree couple, thus not a perfect fit for our energetic kids. read more

What a gastronomic delight! The restaurant is limited on seating, but certainly not on the quality of their food. We stumbled across Fig Bistro while on an anniversary trip to Asheville from Chattanooga, TN. So glad we did. The owner and Meghan, our waitress, made us feel welcomed from the moment we walked through the door of this bustling establishment. Luckily, they were able to seat us, but I would highly recommend making a reservation because you don't want to miss this dining experience. We appreciated Meghan guiding us through the menu and libation choices. She was spot on in all respects. We can't wait until our next trip to this lovely city. It will definitely include lunch or dinner at Fig! read more

This is a hidden gem and a must for a fantastic meal in the Biltmore a village. It's a small place. I really enjoy sitting outside where there were only a handful of tables. It was very peaceful. The food, all of it is fresh and fantastic. I had the salmon that was crispy on the outside and a tiny raw on the inside. And it was perfect. The texture and taste was exquisite! The service is top notch. Very attentive and kind. I will definitely run away here again. This was amazing:) !!! read more

So glad to see that Fig is open for dinner several nights a week. Jakob was our server and a delightful person as well. Tartare, arugula salad, mussels, bolognese and Pot de crème were all delicious. Worth checking out for lunch or dinner. read more

What a wonderful restaurant! The food choices were very diverse- ranging from vegan to meat containing. The lavender lemon Rossito was divine. The flounder special was served on baby black lentils and some interesting rice with a sauce that was incredibly delicious. We also had the timmed sardine appetizer served with salmon roe, a carrot salad and banquettes was also delicious. I usually don't eat sardines but my husband's Oooh's and ah's made me try them. Delicious! The chef came out and explained that they were from Portugal and they were special. Was very glad I tried them. Would definitely recommend! read more

We enjoyed our meals very much. It's a relatively small but nice place with very friendly service. I opted for the Bolognese, my wife for the pork tenderloin but we started with some papas fritas (fancy fries) which seem to be a local popular item as we noticed it on a lot of menus...there's was the best version we tried (with just the right amount of truffle oil). My Bolognese was simple but super tasty as was the pork loin. Drink choices were solid and we didn't have room for dessert. Prices are a bit high and the menu options were somewhat limited but all ingredients seemed to be of high quality and everything was prepared deliciously. read more

Reservation is highly recommended as this place seems popular. For parking, there is free parking in an underground parking lot right next to the building underneath some shops. Fig does have outdoor dining in the courtyard which was one of the reasons for the visit. As for food, we ordered the Steak Au Poivre with roasted fingerling potatoes and garlic haricot verts (similar to green beans) and Salmon with red potatoes, braised red cabbage, with a herb cream sauce. The steak itself was very juicy and the sauce was extremely flavorful. The salmon, cooked medium well, was cooked perfectly. I did wish for a bit more seasoning on the red potatoes and on the fingerling potatoes. The service was fantastic and our waiter was very courteous. read more

Awesome food and service! Went with two friends and it was a great experience! We will go back!

Just saying... Fig is NOT accurate to refer to itself as a "French Bistro." More like an Italian-French fusion café maybe? I feel like I had a VERY expensive tomato soup and salad dinner. My husband had the escargot (in tomato sauce) and he referred to it as 'snails in rice and spaghetti sauce'. The atmosphere was way too loud and crowded. It was a chilly evening and my husband and I kept yelling across the table and our waiter kept having to ask us to repeat what we said and we had to ask him to repeat himself as well. Our waiter was great. He kept our glasses full and tried to hear us over the incredibly loud conversations all around us. He brought my husband a replacement fork and me a replacement napkin without being asked. The hostess was great. The people bringing the food to our table were friendly, but friendly couldn't overcome meh food or high prices. The food is absolutely not BAD: the snails were fresh, the salads were fresh, the soup tasted like tomato soup, but it did not live up to the value of what we were expecting. Most of the food had tomato. The duck was supposed to be served medium rare and it was served closer to rare. The brussel sprouts were more like shavings. The bean paste was flavorless except for the sweetness of the either raisin or fig mixed into the brussel sprouts. My husband said his short rib was good, but he laughed and asked me if I make my gnocchi on the grill, burned. I asked what he meant and he showed me his dark brown on one side gnocchi. Maybe it was boiled first? I hope! The Espresso is from a Nespresso machine. In my opinion, if I spend over $200 for a 4 course meal for 2, I want it to be more than something I can throw together myself at home in a half hour. We ate our entire meal. Like I said, the food wasn't inedible, just unmemorable (except for the excellent waitstaff and the unpleasant atmosphere and high price). No military discount here. This was the only restaurant we ate at this week that did not give us a military discount. read more

I truly hate to have to write reviews like this but based on the service I received and was told, "it's my banks fault" I will NEVER come here again. I was double-charged for my meal. I've had this happen before and been able to remedy it with ease. So I did the right thing and let them know via FB messenger. As I stated I was told it was my banks fault, which is a joke. I would suspect Capital One 360 is not in the habit of double charging people. Fig said call your bank and work it out. Capital One was very kind and scoffed at the fact that they had not ran my card twice, already knew that though. So I'm on vacation and if I report this to my bank via the computer my card would be shut down which I don't need. I called and my bank is taking care of me. Fact of the matter is though is that I had to spend my time while on vacation to fix this. That is unacceptable, period! The food was OK at best especially considering I paid $150 with tip. What I wouldn't do to take that tip back for my misery of dealing with jumping through the hoops of being refunded. Please watch out for this place unscrupulous charge practices. If you're not paying attention they will pull a fast one on you! read more

Celebrated my birthday here today and it was a great spot to do so. So glad we picked the fig. They had outdoor seating with heaters, so that was a win! The drinks were great, the food was excellent, and dessert was delicious. The Bolognese is a must try, we were told it had been on the menu for years and was very popular. Their burger was great as well. The bread pudding for dessert was excellent. Highly recommended if you are in the Asheville area near the Biltmore. read more

Such wonderful service and food! I'm so glad we stopped and had dinner there! We will be back!

Very delightful little bistro. Menu is short but entrees are complete and creative as with apps and desserts. Two reasons I didn't give a five star, just didn't realize menu was short but again coverage for any taste was there. Only other downside, which was our fault, is it was a little hard to find. It kinda blended in and for first timers just a little hard to find. But, worth it, food and service were excellent! Ambiance was well appointed and just the right size. I would recommend reservations at peak times. read more

Food was very different and really great. Grill cheese very different but excellent. Service - they didn't have any room for us so we started to leave and they chased us down to tell us someone was just leaving and we could have the table Ambiance - very quaint. We stayed there with our friends till they closed at 3pm. Would go again if I come back to this area. read more
