Reviews of The Fig Tree @ 36

D. M.

My wife and I have long wanted to try The Fig Tree, and our anniversary seemed a good excuse! We were not disappointed! The food was amazing, the staff delightful, very welcoming and helpful. There are better tables locations than others due to the layout, we started at the back and were moved later to the front which was a much better, warmer experience. Would heartily recommend and look forward to finding another excuse to go back!

M. Ś.

We had an absolutely wonderful evening celebrating my friend's birthday last week. The food was just WOW! Everything we had was incredible. The staff was so lovely and friendly. We'll definitely be coming to the Fig Tree @ 36 with my husband soon! What a little gem hidden away in Stonehouse.

E. D.

I LOVE this place! We had our work Christmas dinner here, the food and service were outstanding. The atmosphere is very cozy and welcoming, we admired the eclectic decor all evening. The servers were very friendly and we were never without food or drink for the whole evening. Even when it became busy they made time to check on us and bring us anything we needed. Highly recommend!

R. S.

A good restaurant in the vicinity of the Royal William yard. Set menu is quite interesting, with many options to choose from. The specials might increase the price a bit but they are worth it. I had crab bhajiis, an excellent pork belly and a five chocolate dessert which was superb. Service is attentive and friendly. We did not have to wait long for our dishes to arrive. Hopefully we will be back soon.

N. A.

A total gem!. This is most definitely a diamond. Warm and welcoming service. Good atmosphere and generous but superb food. Not a single course disappointed, in fact, every moment was sheer joy. We would certainly return.

J. H.

Such an amazing experience. The staff were friendly and attentive, food tasted amazing and the tast the chef experience was really amazing experience and excellent value for money. Nothing was too much trouble and the restaurant has a really cosy vibe. Would 100000% recommend and will definitely be going again!

O.

Such a lovely place with amazing foods, the Taste the Chef 3 course set are interesting and great combinations of all, it’s fun not knowing what are you going to have before you taste it yet it’s all surprisingly Good! And the staffs are so professional, attentive, welcoming and friendly, We had a wonderful night here, would definitely recommend it!❤️

J. E.

The best restaurant experience I’d had for a long time. Lovely, attentive, but discreet staff. Delicious food with beautifully balanced and complimentary flavours. Ingredients sourced locally. The best toffee pudding everrrr. I was taken here for a birthday meal and was given an extra treat by the staff! I look forward to my next visit!

Y. Y.

One of the best restaurants in Plymouth. Every dishes were beautifully presented and tasted amazing. You can tell they use the best and freshest ingredients. Considering the quality, the prices for 2 or 3 course lunch are more than reasonable. I will definitely go back again and again!

K. S.

Beautiful little gem in Plymouth town centre. Super friendly and quaint restaurant. We went on Wednesday evening which is a trust the chef night where you choose vegetarian, meat or fish. Loved every dish and the puddings were lush, fantastic evening, would really recommend.

S. L.

We had SUCH a fun night here, the staff were amazing, our server was attentive but most importantly they made us laugh throughout the night and it wouldn't have been the same night without them. The highlight of the food were the mackerel starter and the white chocolate cheese cake, both were excellent. Also, lovely wine selection too! All in all a fun evening, oh and a perfect playlist!

C. B.

Lovely little restaurant. Well worth a visit. Delicious food, great service.

J. A.

Oh my goodness this place is so special, the food is incredible, the service is superb, so friendly and relaxed.

G. A.

Absolutely fantastic food in a cosy, relaxed atmosphere. Wednesday and Thursdays are ‘Trust the Chef’ nights, which is an exciting and intriguing way to taste new yet delicious food. The staff are attentive and ensure your evening goes at the pace you wish it to.

E. C.

Been here a few times now, fantastic food and lovely atmosphere. Had a birthday and heard us chatting and made a dessert (free of charge) for the birthday girl. Staff so lovely and would come back time and time again. Full marks.

F. “. A.

Lovely place to eat. Quirky and different with a fusion of dishes from the European continent, what makes it shine is how delightfully Devon it is. From the drinks to the tastes, it embodies the spirit of Devon. I would recommend if you are in the Plymouth area. Great staff too!

M. H.

Great staff (Paul and John) food was amazing (trust the chef) I was so excited waiting for the food coming out. Top class food presentation. You are eager to find out what you are eating and if you guessed correctly, completing the exciting sensory overload. Wacky cocktails. We will return ASAP depending on Boris!

Y. S.

Food was exceptional. Lovely atmosphere. Staff lovely and helpful

J. K.

A fantastic little place. The food was excellent and the service equally so. We ate there two nights on the trot and they offered me alternative dishes (I am vegetarian and there was one main, which I had the first night). Thoroughly lovely restaurant.

C. J.

Absolutely amazing. The food was stunning and the service was excellent. Would highly recommend.

T. A. D.

Where should I start! The food was amazing, it was probably the best onion bahji, burger and desert I have ever tasted. The 'chocolate!!' desert was just heaven. It included a melt in the middle choc pot alongside honeycomb, brownies, choc biscuits and caramel sauce..!!! The burger was not just any burger... It was a Fig Tree @ 36 burger. You'll know when you have been there. Also, the hospitality and service was amazing very attentive and ensured service was quick and on time. Thank you so much for having me and my partner can't wait to visit again! Last thing to note is they have a loyalty card where you can get a desert free on your 6th visit.

H. T.

Great fine dining establishment with great staff and atmosphere. Surprising location for a fine dining restaurant but a quiet area and relaxing atmosphere. Great food and drinks (which the waiting staff can recommend). They can sell some products as well like smoked butter... Recommend to have a try.

B. F.

Immense food and extremely friendly service. Highly recommended!

T. F.

Super relaxed and friendly. Excellent food, especially the belly pork with crispy noodles, loved it

S. C.

Lovely restaurant - had a great meal there for a birthday celebration - brilliant service and great consideration for gluten free and other allergy needs - thank you so much - overall a wonderful experience with delicious food

H. D.

Lovely restaurant, hidden gem in Plymouth. Lovely food and staff. Deserves to be fully booked every night!

S. D.

If you’re ever in Plymouth, just go to this restaurant; just go! Absolutely first class food served by great staff in a very relaxed setting.

J. R.

Was absolutely brilliant, food was beyond amazing and the service was above 5 star. We did the trust the chef and the whole experience of not knowing what you are about to eat works very well and without I'd have missed out as I probably won't have ordered what I got but it truly was to die for. Massive well done to the whole team as could not have done a better job 👌😋

L. S.

Excellent food! Friendly relaxed atmosphere.

D. P.

Excellent food! We had a late table and it's always a bit hit or miss with that because the service may have run out of certain things. This was not the case, even with my partner having a gluten allergy, all was catered for, which is appreciated more than you can imagine given many other experiences. The food is second to none, usually I give the sticky toffee pudding a miss having had it for years as a staple pud but it was amazing. Most of all though, the front of house staff are bang on! Timing is everything with front of house, leave it too long and people get frustrated, too much and it can get annoying. Both front of house staff have their profession down to a tee. Well done to all. Thankyou.

C. D.

Very friendly staff, delicious and very exciting food to fair prices. Had a great evening there!

N. L.

The staff were amazing. I was completely under whelmed by the food. Was expecting amazing and what we got was no better than your average gastropub. Nothing that we ate made us think wow. Walked away feeling very disappointed for £100 meal.

E. H.

Amazing lunch, would highly recommend and will be back!!!

T. H.

Lovely bistro, great food, attentive service while maintaining a relaxed atmosphere.

N. S.

First class service, friendly staff and really good food. I've been twice now, once for 'trust the chef' and once for an ordinary a la carte. Both times, the food has been delicious, with great cocktails and wine. Would highly recommend the fig tree to anyone! Very accommodating for Gluten free too.

R. B.

Our daughter booked us in for our 17th wedding anniversary. We enjoyed every minute, felt very welcome, lovely atmosphere staff are very friendly and made the effort to make our evening special. The Food was absolutely amazing . Would definitely return without a doubt. Thank you

e. l.

Lovely atmosphere, we went on chef's choice night the food was really good quality and tasty. Parking close by is difficult but there is a free car park nr cremmel ferry.

G. T.

Superb food, friendly service, and just a great all round place to be - will ensure we go every time we're down in Plymouth A gem of a restaurant

A. W.

We recently visited our family in Plymouth travelling down from London. We always struggle to find good restaurants in the area. We were recommended to book The Fig Tree which we thank our friends them for. Front of house,John and Paul, where is Ringo, were magnificent.Recommending cocktails which was much appreciated. The food was delicious lots of choice coupled with a comprehensive wine list. A must visit. We will return and even invite Mother- in- Law!

j. e.

On holiday and booked ahead, based on reviews. What a good decision. This place is a little gem.Menu excellent and food matched the expectation. Superb. Pleasant service and an overall great experience at an affordable price. You need to book as the place was full on the Thursday night we visited. Wish it wasn’t 150 miles away from home.

J. J.

Absolutely amazing trust the chef is well worth it

A. D.

A little gem near Royal William Yard that will not dissapoint. An unassuming eatery with a relaxed but professional attitude creating wonderful dishes of delight. We are offered polenta bites as nibbles, these are light, covered on parmesan and taste heavenly. They had sold out of an excellent looking NZ Sauv blanc but instead we are recommended a local English white which is truly excellent. Moving on to a starter of ham hoc and picked veg I was very happy with the main of Pork belly with an Asian slaw and Crispy noodles was full of loads of flavours and bloody nice. My wife had the fish stew which similarly was a riot of different fish and delicious. A great sticky toffee pudding rounded off one of the best meals I've had in years. Their menu changes weekly, its all local sourced and they have great staff. Your stomach will love you and they deserve to go from strength to strength. If they did a recipe book I'd buy it in heartbeat. Yum.

t. n.

a lovely meal, probably one of the best, a little gem, great service and food quality, portion size and cook skills are something to be proud of. Well recommended 😃

A. C.

Been a few times, the food is always well cooked & delicious. The service is friendly & attentive. The little courtyard is great for a drink/dessert after a meal and there us a good selection of wines. Only downside is it does get hot inside the dining room & sometimes a bit smeechy from the Kitchen.

L. T.

Amazing food. A little pricey but worth every penny. Lovely atmosphere and staff were friendly and helpful. Thank you for a lovely evening.

L. E.

Lovely little restaurant tucked away that is well worth finding, but you will need to book. Food was absolutely amazing, the best I've had in a very long time, we had huge local mussels to start followed by slow roast belly pork with crackling cooked to perfection. Delicious and can't recommend highly enough

L. M.

Under Covid conditions very well organized. Food excellent and on a personal note a lovely dessert with a personalised message on our anniversary

E. S.

Service was very,very good,and the food was absolutely outstanding. We won't leave it so long until our next visit

A. P.

Exciting food with lots of flavour. Amazingly friendly and helpful staff. Gourmet experience in a more casual bistro atmosphere. Most convenient parking is probably the Cremyll ferry car park, which is free, but busy.

W. G.

The Fig Tree @36 was recommended to me and sometimes it can be a gamble. I have since told everyone I know about this place. If you love food and a good atmosphere then you will strike gold here. It is a cosy atmosphere with good music in the background, attentive staff and curiosities to look it. To be fair, I could quite happily have spent most of my time either reading the menu or eating the food. Each dish was beautifully constructed and tasted amazing, when each plate was presented I couldn't wait to dive in. The prices are value for the level of food and the wine list was well chosen. Part of me doesn't want to share it and keep it to myself!

p. 2.

Managed to get a cancellation, thanks pingdemic and the restaurant contacting me straight away. Wonderful fresh food. Fresh and light to eat would be a good description. Although very filling too. Seared tuna served very pink, exactly as it should be, shell fish mariniere, nothing over done... delicate and divine. Skate, bass, shelled broad beans and fresh peas (seasonal) and seaweed adding interest and flavour. Wonderful homemade bread (focaccia) with delicious smoked or roasted garlic butter. Local cheese with crispy thins and sweet chutney to finish washed down with a good rioja. Great wine list or local ales, cider or soft drinks complete a really good evening of food and drink. The ambience and style I would describe as casual, quality, foody dining. Good service and friendly staff. Thoroughly recommended.

C. I.

A hidden gem. Fantastic food, excellent and interesting wine list. Staff made us feel most welcome. Felt very covid safe, in the interest of all concerned everyone had their temperature checked on arrival. Can't wait to return to Plymouth so that I can revisit The Fig Tree @36.

N. T.

Definitely my favourite place to eat and the only one I wanted to once the restrictions allowed us to do so. Excellent quality food, beautifully cooked and delightful staff too. There are strict covid 19 precautions in place so I believe this is also a very safe place to visit. Well done and a Big thank you to the Fig Tree team.

k. h.

Lovely little restaurant with a great atmosphere. We went to the trust the chef night and will definitely trust them again! The skate, monkfish and mussel main was a showstopper. We were made to feel at home. What a great find!

My wife and I were lucky enough to get a day without the kids, we were looking for somewhere good for lunch and my wife discovered this place on Facebook. I am really pleased she did, the food was incredible and the service was outstanding. If you need to read a review to decide whether or not to visit, take it from me, you definitely need to experience this place.

L. W.
