Live-fire kitchen · opening soon
Fig & Thistle
Meat over open coals. Bread out of our own oven. Opening this autumn on Kilroy Ave.


If you have stood near a real fire, you already know.
Everything on this menu meets live coals or a hot oven floor. No gas, no shortcuts, no holding cabinet — food goes from the fire to the table, and that is the entire idea.
The Coals
Skewers over live charcoal. Ground lamb and beef, chops, tips, chicken — seared hard and served the minute they come off.
The Oven
Bread baked here through the day, and it comes with nearly everything. Soups arrive with it. Salads arrive with it. It is the foundation, not a side.
The Table
Soup, something cold to drink, something sweet under honey. Food built for staying a while.


The bread is baked here. It lands on the table warm, with the soups, with the salads, with the chicken. Everything else is built on top of it.
