We discovered the Blue Fig by chance a few months ago and have been regular customers since. By far the best brunch in Balham (don't tell anyone!). Food is consistently great quality, and it's reasonably priced too. A regular favourite !

We really enjoy the Blue Fig. It’s quickly become my favourite local. It has a great choice of food and drink. Very friendly staff. Buzzy atmosphere and good value. It is very vegan and vego friendly whilst still catering to meat eaters. Can’t wait to go back.

We booked a late lunch to celebrate New Year, neither of us are local so just booked on the reviews. The service was fantastic and the food was amazing. Will definitely come back.

Lovely find in Balham. We went on Thursday lunchtime so it was naturally quiet The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The food was really tasty and presented beautifully. My only criticism was the lack of baby changing facilities. Baby changing can be easily affixed to the toilet wall as a drop down option and takes up very little space. They do have high chairs.

This was my second time here. I love everything about it. The staff were so attentive and were patient with us when we were chatting and not ready to order. The food was fresh and very tasty. The chef came out to chat when we had a question. All their meat personally chosen at the butcher. The aubergine musakha was to die for. I’ll be making a third visit soon.

Reviews were good and experience did not disappoint. We all know what prices are like when eating out. Many places charge high and have mediocre offerings. Blue Fig delighted our table of 4 with fresh and delicious food. Highly recommend beetroot hummus, lamb cigars and salmon. Lovely attentive service too. Will definitely be coming back. Many thanks for a lovely afternoon.
