Quiet little restaurant in Biltmore Village. Never had a bad meal. Food is excellent but be warned portions are a little small. But if you want a lighter fare - this could be a good choice.

Wow and more wow! A very blustery rainy Sunday drove us to seek shelter from the stiff breezes. We were lucky to get a table and even luckier to be served promptly wonderful food. I don't recall what my friends had but they cleaned their plates. I had the special which was seared scallops perfectly and imaginatively prepared. I'd go... More

Who can resist a real French waiter? Generous wine by the glass...enjoyed the German whites. The mussels in wine and garlic appetizer...outstanding! Chilled leek and roasted pepper soup...delicious. The salad looked fresh from the farm, with dried cherries, goat cheese and a balsamic cherry reduction artfully arranged on the plate. My Schnitzel was not available, so they substituted pork tenderloin.... More

We had a wonderful dinner here. I had a fois gras appetizer which was excellent with a pork loin entree. My wife had scallops which were very good but there were only 3. More would have been better and she is not a big eater. It is a smallish place with a very nice ambience. If you go there don't... More

My husband and I went to Fig Bistro for his birthday dinner. We wanted a nice dinner that made us feel like we were back in France. This quaint restaurant in the Biltmore Village area of Asheville met all of our expectations. That started with the very friendly and cheerful “maître d”, who hails from Paris, France. We had a...

Loved the lunch menu and the intimate setting. Servers were accommodating and friendly. The Pommes Frittes were delicious, as was the Salmon. Will go back again soon!

Figs Bistro – Excellent, interesting flavors. Small intimate space. Right-sized portions for one person. Helpful servers. Loved the shrimp risotto. Adult vibe - I would not recommend this place for young children. I believe the menu showing online is not up to date; we were offered several different choices when we were there. Also the map location showing on TripAdviser... More

Heather is such a wonderful Manager and our server was so happy about being at work. we even had help from other servers and nobody was bothered about helping each other! Finally,... More

After my massage, this restaurant was a few feet away. The pork schnitzel was the best I've had outside of Germany and the sides made it that much more interesting- reasonably priced for lunch at $13.00. My child had the grilled cheese(tasted like a fondue) and he gobbled it up. Small restaurant and reasonably priced for lunch. There is outside... More
