Formerly a grocer's shop the premises have scrubbed up well, now replaced by a very chic and attractive Fig Restaurant whose owners aim to make it the best neighbourhood food and wine experience of its kind in London.

Many, who enjoy regularly the dishes prepared by Head Chef Christoffer Hruskova would take a view that they are well on the way. This is probably due as much as anything to Christoffer's extended contacts with gourmet restaurants throughout the world. A meal at Fig could start with free range hen egg and salted fish seaweed salad, or veal sweetbread with bread salad and Jerusalem artichokes. Main course of Dorset plaice and wild mushrooms comes with blackcurrants, sweet corn and English black truffle, and puddings can include beet root and fromage Blanc with steamed sago porridge.

Fig's wine list of over 60 bins is a good effort for a restaurant where small is beautiful, and their policy is to reflect rather than contrast the inputs from the various countries.
