Fig & Olive in Islington

I loved the chicken dish I ordered, the service was fast and portions are big 😅 you literally sweat eating in a good way. My friends found the pasta dishes a bit too big that needs more balance between the pasta and the toppings. But in general it was a good experience.

Other than the location and decor, this place hasn’t got anything going for itself. Sat down for 20 mins to have a tiramisu, which was dry and could tell it’s been sat there for a while, and a coffee, which I’ll give points for as it was decent. Now I would’ve been maybe a bit more indulgent if it weren’t for the service charge slapped on my bill for a coffee and a cake. Bad business practice in my humble opinion, it definitely doesn’t make me want to come back.Also, the table wasn’t cleaned properly.

Very kind waitress - Turkish lady. Excellent selection of cakes - vegan and gluten-free as well. Joyful music and a very clean environment.

Amazing food and lovely staff. It was a great experience, one of the most tastiest foods I’ve had. Staff are very welcoming and made sure that everything was great whilst serving. 100% recommended and will be returning.

Found a hair twice in my dish!Ordered a breakfast dish for me and my girlfriend. The first time we found a hair on the dish (before starting to eat it) and then on the second time we found one underneath the food.Obviously we were quite disgusted. We also made sure it wasn't our hair.But what we were mostly shocked about is that the manager only took one dish off the bill and didn't offer a discount or something to repair the damage. We were even charged for the service!Mistakes are human but the unpoliteness was just surreal.Also honestly the food was quite expensive given its quality. Will never go back there again!

We stopped here for a coffee and a cake, but we have ended having something to eat. I had the toastie panini with fries and salad, which it had plenty of filling gs. The service and atmosphere were great. As we were full we didn't had room for dessert but we are going back for that. Prices are good for the amount of food we got.

Nice modern European restaurant with good food and a nice dessert selection. Wine selection is rather limited but otherwise a good spot for dinner :) Especially loved the scallops with chorizo 😊

Nice place serving various meal options (mainly Greek), as well as tasty cakes. The concept of the place is a bit confusing as from the first step in it seems to be a coffee house but after few more steps in you end up sitting next to a bar with a meal menu in hands.

We came across this place while looking for somewhere to have desert after dinner. The lush looking display of cakes in the window drew us in. We both had a coffee and a cake. I had the lemon meringue and my friend had a banoffee pie. Both cakes and coffee were lovely. Lovely atmosphere inside and staff were really friendly.

Much changed since we visited pre-covid. The food is much more a cafe style breakfast and lunch. Pan seared salmon was nice with creamed spinach, potatos and a pretty tasty salad.My partner had the pancakes which where more of a cross between a fritatta and a pancakes and were OK. It came when scrambled egg which was a bit on the overdone side, sausage was good and honey.Meal sizes were very big! So good price for size! For desert had a lemon merengue pie which was very good!All in all good for the price if you live close by.
