Reviews
"I initially came for takeaway coffee and a Rueben. Coffee was nice and the Reuben was SO good (apologies for half eaten food photo but look at the filling!) that I came back for a sit down meal and ordered the shakshuka. Such a warm, homey meal. Service was friendly but a bit on the slower side when eating in so make sure you're not in a hurry if you do. Not sure when but I'll definitely be back!"
"Good atmosphere and friendly wait staff. My partner had the French toast and I had the ottoman. Food and coffee was very nice. My only comment would be that the vegetarian and vegan substitutions are unclear on the menu."
"Visited this quaint little breakfast/brunch restaurant today in North Adelaide. I was very impressed with the quality of the food. It was also a bit busy on my arrival but the service was really good despite this. 5 stars for the food taste and quality and the service. 4.5 stars for not bringing out our food together. The coffee took a bit longer than normal. But Simple fix."
"This unassuming small corner cafe is a lovely surprise ! When it’s cold and it rains , your thoughts turn to food . It was by chance that my friend and I found this place and went in to try . It was only after we parked nearby that he remembered he’d been here before and had had a lovely experience . The Flying Fig is apparently modeled after a NY Jewish Deli ( not that I’ve ever been to NY) . When we entered , it was warm and cozy , with a lovely aroma of coffee mixing with spices . The server was prompt and all smiles , told us to choose seating and followed us with menus to a small wooden window seat . My friend had already eaten , but ordered a small banana cake , with a side pitcher of cream , just right for a wet Winters afternoon. I ordered an iced almond latte - the coffee was a dark roast with a slight fruity aftertaste. I forgot to ask which blend they used , but it was pleasant. The menu was a little different to ordinary cafe fare , and had lots of dietary options. I ordered the smashed avo with poached eggs, but the difference being that instead of the ordinary toast, it was stacked on a sweet potato latke , which was so warm and crispy on the outside , and soft and sweet inside . The eggs were perfectly cooked , with runny yolks , and the smashed avocado and hazelnut dukkah helped round out the dish . The surprise element was the Manischewitz wine reduction ( which apparently is a non alcoholic Jewish wine , which tastes like a cross between maple syrup and honey , and complimented the hazelnuts)In addition, it was plated beautifully. I really loved this dish . The owner was so happy and friendly; he came to the table and ready to explain any questions that you had about the menu . Definitely need to come back and try the French Toast - which has a gluten free option . I saw it at someone’s table and it looked amazing. If you are getting a little tired of normal cafe fare, give this place a try ."
"Yet another recommendation by my friend as a brunch place so I came and try it out on a Monday morning. I had already had coffee elsewhere so I didn't order any. Instead I ordered the banoffee French toast as I was craving something sweet as a late breakfast even though my friend strongly recommended the lamb Reuben sandwich. The staff who greeted me wasn't friendliest but that's fine. The second staff who took my order was a lot more approachable. The food came pretty quickly which was good as I was pretty hungry by then. The challah was soft and fluffy, soaking in the toffee sauce nicely. The caramelised bananas were for some reason lukewarm which was odd for me as I had expected them to be hot and freshly cooked straight from a saucepan. I liked the additional crunchy biscuit crumbles around the side of the plate which added nicely to the overall texture of the French toast. But for my personal preference, the cream did get slightly too much halfway through so I couldn't finish it. Overall, it was a nice experience having brunch here but wasn't one that particularly stood out for me. Though I will still recommend people coming and trying this place out."
