About this place
The prosciutto cheese toast comes on baguette topped with a generous amount of piping-hot cheese. One diner, expecting crisp bread, was surprised to find the baguette softened by the heat of the cheese. Others have found it substantial enough to fill them up on its own. If you were planning to order a light snack, sharing a portion might be a good idea; as a first dish, it could also help you gauge how much more to order.
For a main, the menu lists bone-in chicken thigh confit served with risotto. One diner who tried the confit chicken singled out its crisp exterior and tender meat. It works whether you are ordering a few small plates to enjoy with drinks or looking for a main and risotto to make a meal of it. The menu also includes cold dishes such as ratatouille and carrot râpée.
There is counter seating for solo meals, as well as tables for sharing several dishes with companions. One diner reported finding the small restaurant full, so reservations are an option if you have a particular date in mind. Bistro Figu may appeal both to those who like wine with their food and to anyone after a relaxed drink and a few small plates.
