Fig & Olive

Fig & Olive once represented Singapore's venture into authentic Mediterranean cuisine, bringing the sun-soaked flavors of the Mediterranean region to multiple strategic locations across the island before closing operations. During its active years, this halal-certified restaurant served the diverse Singapore community with expertly designed international dishes that showcased the rich culinary traditions of Mediterranean coastal regions, from Greece and Turkey to Spain and Southern Italy. The restaurant's concept centered on delivering "A Taste of the Mediterranean" through carefully crafted dishes that incorporated the signature ingredients and cooking methods that define this beloved cuisine. Fig & Olive understood that authentic Mediterranean cooking relies on premium olive oil, fresh herbs, quality grains, and the perfect balance of flavors that create the healthy, satisfying meals that have sustained Mediterranean communities for centuries. What distinguished Fig & Olive was their commitment to halal certification, making authentic Mediterranean cuisine accessible to Singapore's Muslim community who might otherwise miss out on this style of international dining. The restaurant operated multiple locations including prime spots at Raffles Place's Clifford Center and Tanjong Pagar's Halal Street, strategically positioning themselves within Singapore's business districts and halal dining enclaves. During their operation, Fig & Olive offered promotional dining experiences including popular "1 for 1" deals that made Mediterranean cuisine more accessible to a broader audience. The restaurant served as a cultural bridge, introducing Singapore diners to the warmth and hospitality associated with Mediterranean dining culture while adapting traditional recipes to suit local preferences and dietary requirements. Although no longer operating, Fig & Olive contributed to Singapore's diverse international dining landscape by demonstrating the appeal of Mediterranean cuisine within the city's multicultural food scene.
