The Braided Fig in Aberdeen City

We went down to for restaurant month, and was giving a choice 3 course £25 or 5 course for £30.The 5 course contains alcohol without alternative.There timing we're all over the place, mostly waiting 25mins between meals. We arrived at 7:30 and left at 9:30pm.They put a Service Charge on the bill of 10% which is frowned upon in Aberdeen. Normally you would give a tip if you think the service is good or not.The toilet was broken and I had to used the disabled toilets. This was used for storage was didn't feel like they used the toilet seriously.Food:StartersBread with chicken butterCrab on toasted breadThe choice to use sour dough bread twice felt like eating half a loaf of bread, I would consider this poor choice. The Crab paste used was too littleMainroast chickenThe roast chicken was consider well cooked and would consider this a 4/5 for tastiness unfortunately the presentation was lacking.IntermediateThe gin sorbetCan't comment, was driving afterwards and contains alcohol there was no alternative.DesertLemon tartThe lemon zesty was correct,but unfortunately the amount given was far less than acceptable for a Desert.Overall I was left hungry, annoyed, and wouldn't recommend this place to anyone until they change there attitude of this restaurant.

Went here for ARW. The food and cocktails were beautiful. Particular favourite was the Korean cauliflower bites and special glitterball cocktail. My only gripe would be that one of our guests has a few dietary problems and we all had to order off the same menu.

Lucy was a good host. The food was beautifully presented. My dessert (chocolate & cherries) was fantastic. I would recommend visiting if you're looking to treat yourself.

The only reason for some stars is that the food is very good. We booked in as a group for the Christmas fixed menu, and had to pay a deposit to secure booking (which is fine) but then are also charged the meals in full if someone cannot attend (this was due to COVID contact). This makes the deposit a bit meaningless if the full meal needs to be paid anyways - it would have been okay if takeaway was doable but we were informed it was not. Service was also not great. We’d asked for more gravy and given one small jug and informed that was all we could get. Food is great but management and service could do with much improvement.

Food was okay, the waitress who was serving us was actually quite snoot Also, you pay £20pp deposit for the Xmas meal, which is understandable. One person cancelled and you not only lose the deposit but also are required to pay the full £34, which again could be understandable. BUT they don't even give you the food for that person we paid for even though we asked. Utter joke.

Amazing 5 course taster meal for restaurant week. All the food and drinks were incredible, the staff were lovely and attentive; a wonderful experience, would happily visit again.

Lovely atmosphere and friendly staffs.I was offered a special order with slight alterations to the menu as an exception because of my allergies.The waitress really were nice. I would definitely recommend this place.

First day in Aberdeen and was trying to find a place to have late lunch as hotel is not ready for check in. Found this gem the city centre. Very cosy restaurant with ample outside seating in a quiet and not busy area. The fig tree as you go inside is phenomenal! Ideally placed where the bar is and reception. Burger is amazing as well as the rest of the food. Covid rules apply. Mask is required. Price is affordable. Very highly recommended when you are in Aberdeen!

Great dinner at The Braided Fig. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, exceptional food and good wine and other drink option. Food and drinks were clearly labelled for vegans, nut allergies and other dietary requirements. Will definitely visit again!

Faultless. An all round great experience. My friend and I visited for Aberdeen Restaurant Week and ordered from the set menu. As you'll see from the photos we were blown away. Friendly service, excellent food and reasonable prices.
