We found this place on Yelp based off other reviews and tried it. Cozy Bistro with an eclectic flair. I had a wonderful NC Trout and Lee had Angus Ribeye which was cut and cooked well, but the truffle sauce overwhelmed his plate. Other then that, the food and service were excellent.

This place is phenomenal! We relied on others' ratings and picked this place for dinner on Friday night. Oh, thank you other raters!!! Husband had the Farfalle Bolognese, I had the Macaroni Gratin (features applewood smoked bacon and gruyere, emmentaler, and 2 other cheeses in the sauce). Neither of us would give the other a bite until I, regrettably, got... More

One of my wife's favorite lunch places in Asheville. The ceasar salad with salmon is outstanding, the deviled eggs are always a treat, and the staff is very attentive. To be fair we have only eaten dinner here twice but have dined here for lunch on many occasions. The brunch on Sunday has a different menu that has more of... More

We spent our 47th anniversary in Asheville and chose Fig based on Trip Advisor reviews. It was one of our most memorable meals in a long time. The place is small and intimate, but also warm and welcoming. The small staff was welcoming while managing to be both friendly and efficient. They gave us excellent advice and information about menu... More

Went for Sunday brunch and enjoyed every bit of the experience. Casually elegant style, personable and attentive service, and a menu full of delightful sounding brunch options. My "breakfast" choice, read bacon and eggs, was excellent with fab, thick-sliced bacon and the quiche choice was rich and delicious. I loved the style, the relaxed pace, and the ambience. And this...

Nestled in Biltmore Village, Fig offers indoor and outdoor seating steps away from upscale shops. Great menu and wine offerings. Treat yourself to lunch at Fig after a hard morning's shopping.

Taking a break from shopping in Biltmore Village brought us to Fig Bistro and a delightful lunch. Couldn't resist the Pomme Frites with truffle oil and pecorino cheese appetizer - a first for me or my daughter to order any form of potato as a starter. There wasn't even a sliver left in the good-sized bowl! I had the tomato... More

My husband and I went to Fig for dinner. The food was very good. Service was good too. The portions were very tiny. I ordered he steak with tater tots and a poached egg. The tater tots were the tiniest I have ever seen. Equaled about a table spoon. My husband ordered the chicken with two sticks of asparagus. Our... More

Quiet little restaurant in Biltmore Village. Never had a bad meal. Food is excellent but be warned portions are a little small. But if you want a lighter fare - this could be a good choice.
