Cuisine with roots in Spain, France, Provence, Italy, Greece, Lebanon,
Cyprus and Morocco, is combined in unique and unforgettable ways, just like
the large custom made slab Acacia Wood Sharing Tables and the huge wood
sculpture complex that greets guests at the entrance to Palm Desert's
hippest, new restaurant. Contrasting with the refinement of nearby Carerra
marble and Pistaccio onyx, the sculpture's weathered organic form ties
indoors to the desert floor seen through huge glass panels.
People go to Figue because of the buzz, but once you've tasted beguiling
dishes you'll be hooked on the special something you can't quite put your
finger on. Absolutely committed to sourcing the freshest and highest quality
ingredients money can buy, newcomers to the 'fresh' concept don't initially
recognize that the food really is special, though they know something's
uniquely different.
Kick-start your tastebuds with 2 year Iberico Ham served with Alain Milliat
Green Tomato Jam or a Selection of Salumi and Cured Meats, served with house
made pickles and Figue Jam. Meat selections include 18-Month San Daniele
Prosciutto, Fra Mani Mortadella, Meat Men 'Spicy Chorizo', Meat Men 'Juicy

Desserts are too good to pass up, but we'll save them for another time.
