Fig Delicatessen - Victoria, British Columbia

This restaurant has had a lot of controversy lately. The owner has put up a flag not just a Palestine one but Hamas denying the existence of Israel. Many of his good old client asked him to put up just regular Palestine flag if he wants to. He was ... rude and insulting. He seems to have a reputation of being like this. To employees as well. His food may be good, but think twice before going. Everyone’s entitled to their political view, but no one has a right to put up in a public place advocating the destruction of a country or a people. Only of peace. Read more

I love Polish products. This is only one place in Victoria where we can buy the best Polish sweets...Thank you...

I drove for half hour today to get some green tea. After I got home find out that the expiration date is passed and the store still sold it to the customer.

Okay- I’m a little worried about posting as I don’t want the lines to get too long! Such a hidden gem. What a fun deli; I can’t believe it took me so long to try Fig. The falafel wraps and tabbouli are incredible. If you love cheese, olives and ... all things Mediterranean- this is your go-to deli. Great prices. Very nice staff. Read more

Great little deli. Stopped in today while visiting from Vancouver. Got some spanikopita and samosa. Since it was after 5 and they close at 6 a lot of deli items were out of stock. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Got one chicken and one veg samosa and we split it. ... We both liked veg one better, and the dough and flavour reminded us more of egg roll than traditional samosa. It comes with mango chutney. Will have the spanikopita from breakfast tomorrow. Found an amazing tea from Greece, mountain tea, it is absolutely delicious, I will be back for more, and try other deli items. Update: came here earlier in the day and tried more things. So impressed and happy with this shop. Amazing olives and feta, tzaziki, my favourites are the cheese spanikopita, and a brilliant lentil/noodle salad (forget the name) but I highly recommend, it comes with hot sauce, delicious! Read more
