Big Fig Wanaka

Loads of people rave about this place so we decided to come for a family dinner. Fresh hot food in the cabinet was beautifully presented. Love the idea of choosing your plate size which determines how many options you get to choose. They arnt able to take bookings so you just turn up. They don’t serve hot food between 4 5pm so it can be a little busy at 5 with the rush of people coming in. We are vegan and whilst there was lots of options that catered for dietary choices it felt like the vegan options were purely just sides for everyone eating the main meat dishes. It would have been great to have a main vegan option tofu, lasagne or something a bit more substantial than just salad and sides. The kale, quinoa and pea salad was delicious though! The rest of our family eating meat rated their meal. Definitely wouldn’t rush back for dinner again but perhaps the day we chose didn’t have as many options as another day or meal type (aka breakfast) would do. I Vegetarian options: Labelled well to show which options cater for vegetarians and vegans Dietary restrictions: GF, DF, Vegan all catered for and all the food labelled really well

A place I keep going back to. If you are looking for a flavour bomb, Big Fig will serve it. The slow cooked meats melt in your mouth accompanied by scrumptious vegetable dishes and for a texture contrast you get delicious salads. It's hard for me to go past the cheesecake with figs.
