The charming Fig Tree is a family-run restaurant and wine bar situated in the courtyard of a Grade II listed model farm on the Cawdor estate, by the River Towy and Dryslwyn Castle. The interior is beautifully contemporary and minimalist, making visits there a real treat to the senses as well as the appetite

Dining is on three different levels, while an upstairs bar allows for guests to relax and choose from the menu, fish and grill boards. The contemporary British menu changes daily, based on availability of produce locally and the Chef's fancy at the time.

Dinner could start with Thai king prawn salad with smoked salmon; or pigeon breast with a creme de cassis glaze, followed by an escalope of veal, and finished with dark Belgian chocolate mousse. Pork loin with garlic mushroom and leek sauce makes regular appearances, and four local lamb chops pan fried with rosemary and garlic butter really are the tops.

The food is supported by a list of almost 100 wines. The Fig Tree caters well for weddings and special occasions.
