FIG, an American bistro, achieves something rare and almost impossible: A rustic yet refined cuisine that is both a favorite of the local community and a coveted destination for world travelers. FIG, located in Santa Monica at the Fairmont Miramar, is a neighborhood bistro committed to fresh, seasonal cuisine. The menu features diverse Southern California bounty, sourced from multiple weekly visits to the local farmers markets and from specialty foragers that comb the coastline for hard to find items.
