After being forced to move from its East Brisbane location, The Smug Fig Kitchen and Social Bar has landed in Stones Corner with a new concept, operating as a cafe by day and a social bar at night.
Situated right on the corner of Jeavons Lane and Cleveland Street in Greenslopes, The Smug Fig boasts a 12-metre mural by Yannick Blattner and a street-side takeaway coffee window along with concrete flooring, timber seats and tables, polished tiles, eye-catching purple neon sign, banquet seating and a touch of greenery.
By day, Chefs Stuart Whitney and Max Slaven serve up all-day brunch fare including the classic Bacon and eggs (poached, fried, or scrambled) with kraut served on buttered sourdough;
Buckwheat Pancakes with honeycomb cream, caramelised banana, butterscotch sauce, and macadamia; Halloumi tacos with white cabbage, ranch dressing and green chilli hot sauce; and Free-range smoked ham served with fire-roasted capsicum, wilted greens, soft poached eggs and capsicum hollandaise on sourdough.
Sandwiches (Bacon and egg roll, salami, ham and cheese, and vegetarian sandwich) are also on offer for a quick grab-and-go bite. Coffee by Two Seasons, freshly squeezed orange juice, cold-pressed juice, milkshake and house Kombucha make up the drinks selection.
Then later on weekends, the venue turns into a bar. The fun starts at 2.30 pm with a selection of snacks and tipples. Beverages on offer include four beers on tap and in the fridge from local breweries such as Slipstream, Sea Legs, Black Hops and Ballistic plus select Australian spirits and wines.
Share plates can be ordered from 3 pm including brussels sprouts in duck fat, and purple sprouting broccolini with preserved citrus butter. Whilst dinner plates are served from 5 pm which menu boasts of mouth-watering dishes including pork with apple puree with sauerkraut and fermented garlic honey, fish with caramelised fennel cream, pickled fennel and fennel pollen, and beef with pickled green tomato, fig leaf, sour cream and red sorghum.
The Smug Fig Kitchen and Social Bar also offers picnic packs to take and enjoy whilst at the nearby park. Offering includes cured meat and cheeses, pickles and ferments, sandwiches, seasonal fruit and coffee.
