I have been to Barbary Fig twice. The menu does look a little paltry by way of choice, but you will forget this drawback once you taste the dish. I had the chicken tagine, a signature dish in France and Morocco I heard, and it was out of this world. My husband also loved the Shekshouka (lamb sausage with scrambled eggs). Although the menu is hardly kid-friendly, the server suggested rice and chicken for my two-year old (which she LOVED) that the kitchen could whip up for her. We dined here on a perfect summer day too, it was just the perfect dining experience!\r

For dessert, we had chocolate wrapped in pastry (they looked like small cigars), doused in honey and lavender. Sounds weird, sure enough, but it was really good. In a nutshell, Barbary Fig offers great food, warm ambience and great value! \r

We will definitely be loyal patrons.
Pros: Quaint, great value for money, great taste
Cons: not for large groups, a little too hot for indoor dining in the summer.
