(see full prawn menu below and entire brunch menu attached) This special menu will be served again Saturday, June 7th and Sunday, June 8th. Brunch is served from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm.

FigMint is a relaxed fine dining restaurant known for modern European cuisine using fresh local and organic ingredients. British Chef Lee Humphries is an unsung hero using local wherever possible and producing some of the finest food in the city. Perched on the hill at 12th and Cambie, a souring view of the city is right outside their windows. The dining room is crisp and bright in the day and the elegant lines created by Evoke Design are defined by the evening light. The red suede seated lounge is low and relaxed with an all wine based cocktail program unique to the city and off to the side of the main dining room is the classically neutral middle room, perfect for a group gathering.
