    Beautiful views and great food. Very busy on Valentine's Day but the service was good and ambience was great. Sometimes a little cold by the windows. There was heating but it was intermittent. Sometimes too hot sometimes too cold

    A true hidden gem. Always an absolute pleasure and last night was no exception! The new scallop dish may sound a bit unorthodox but it was easily the highlight of an overall stellar meal. Amazingly attentive service, great wine menu, excellent food and ambiance.

    I had an amazing experience at The Wild Fig Restaurant during the Dine Out Vancouver event. The ambiance was quiet and calm, and the food was absolutely delicious—beautifully presented with flavourful ingredients. What truly made our visit outstanding was our server, Fatima. She was incredibly friendly. We were celebrating my birthday and Fatima went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, and making us feel genuinely welcome. Her positive energy added so much to our dining experience. The Wild Fig is a bit hidden but it’s a nice place with free parking for anyone looking for great food and exceptional service. We’ll definitely be back, and we’ll be asking for Fatima again!
