The lady and the fig represents sublime cuisine, influenced by local and cosmopolitan flair, reflecting the uniqueness of our native and local patrons within the Elgin / Grabouw area. Local art compliments the interior of the restaurant, which adds to the flair and ambience. The 80-seater restaurant is made up of a smoking and non smoking section. Inside the courtyard gives a real cosmopolitan feel whilst the opposite side leaves you in awe of the beautiful view overlooking the Elgin Valley.
