Figaro in North East Derbyshire

Just visited for the first time and absolutely loved it. The food is so good, I didn’t want my meal to end! Lovely drinks and cakes too. Great service, very chilled and beautifully decorated. Can’t wait to go back!

I pop into Figaro for their Soup to Go - it's absolutely delicious. You can tell the ingredients are super fresh. Many of the soups have immune boosting ingredients like ginger, so really it's a medicine in a cup. Yummy!

Lovely plant based cafe with a wide variety of options for everyone. Very friendly staff. Would recommend the pizzas.

Snooty staff, menu needs to be pre ordered which is stated no where

In short - Delicious food from this little gem with very friendly and polite staff! Would definitely recommend and will visit again when in the area 👍 Useful info - All vegan, plenty of wholefood healthy options, fair pricing. Check out the specials board. There is free parking available outside. Great for small groups, could probably accommodate larger groups (maybe around 20). We visited here on the way to Hardwick Hall and we were not disappointed. The staff were lovely people and the atmosphere was chilled and comfortable. They offer a good variety of menu choices with a mix of whole food and a couple of alt-options like pizzas with mozz or sausages in the all day brunch should that take your fancy; which for us, it did that day 😜. We tried the Thai pizza and the Margherita pizza. Both were freshly prepared pretty quickly and were very tasty. The portion was a good size, though probably a little too big for lunch, but it didn't stop me! The tea offering is good and some unusual flavour combinations which we've not had before. We enjoyed the White Pear and Ginger, and the Egyptian Mint which were so good we ordered more to take away. Unfortunately, there were (potential) customers who came in and upon seeing the menu and confirming it was vegan, left. All I would like to say is, if you find yourself in that position, please try to think about the staff and give it a try. It won't kill you to try the scrumptious food they have on offer and which they take great pride in serving. But it's pretty upsetting for them if you just leave without even giving it a chance. After all, whatever your views, they're just a small business trying to make a go of it. So if you live in the area, please give them a go. Who knows, you may love it!

I was really looking forward to my visit to Figaro, as it’s hard to find decent vegan food and somewhere that offers GF options as well. I had seen the glowing reviews, however I was disappointed. It was very quiet with only one table of four other than us, my mum and aunt just had cake and coffee but I ordered avocado and white beans on toast. It took 45mins for my food to arrive and it was very dry and bland, I left most of it. My mums cake was good and the coffee was excellent but it was pricey and my food was not great so won’t be coming back unfortunately.

Super spot for a vegan brunch and now a regular breakfast and lunch location for us - great food, lovely staff. We are still exploring the menu; but every meal has been lovingly prepared and fresh

I've been a regular at this place since it opened, and it used to be my top choice for amazing vegan food. The first experiences were truly fantastic, with each dish being a real delight. However, since the original chef left, I believe his name was Steve, there's been a noticeable drop in the food quality. The staff are still friendly and create a welcoming atmosphere, but the special touch that used to make each dish outstanding is missing. The food is okay, but it doesn't quite reach the excellence that set this place apart initially. I hope the management can address this and bring back the exceptional culinary experience that made this vegan cafe stand out. I fondly remember the passion and culinary skill of Steve, and it would be great to see that revived.

We had a lovely breakfast at Figaro- crumpets and berry compote which was delicious. The waitress was so friendly. The food is plant based but there was plenty of choice. We will go again.

I've been here maaaaybe... 10 times? Loved it every time!

Dinner with friends on Christmas Bistro night. Food was delicious and the service friendly. A lovely evening, super seasonal menu, this restaurant is a little gem

I am not vegan (although I do eat very little meat), but I have been here a few times & the food is excellent. The menu is quite varied & they do special menus (it's been international for the last few weeks), the portion sizes are generous & prices are average, so not on expensive side. Food is very fresh - which is to be expected and from talking with the chef most is sourced locally. Great desserts, although I usually have to take it away. Even if you are not vegan, but like your veggies, I would still recommend. Since leaving this review I understand that the chef has changed, so food options may be different.

Great little cafe. Doesn't look anything special on the outside, but the atmosphere, food and service is great. Semi-regular visitor now. Cooked breakfast was lush and the coffee is lovely as well.

We recently moved to Wingerworth and feel so lucky to have Figaro on our doorstep. Stephen is a really talented chef who is always coming up with new recipes and has a very obvious passion for food. He uses a lot of locally sourced, high quality produce. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommended Figaro to anyone looking for top quality food in a cosy local restaurant. The fact that the whole menu is plant based is just another bonus, and I think everyone will be able to find a dish they love. Just updating to say I am really sorry to hear that Stephen left and will miss chatting to him as well as his excellent food. Happy to report the quality of food remains top notch!

Absolutely delicious and tasty food .. so beautifully prepared and presented.. love this gorgeous cafe in wingerworth.. booked again to bring my husband for his birthday xx

Best restaurant I've ever eaten at including before I was vegan 🙂🙂🙂❤️

Went here for the 1st time for my birthday, cute little place, great service, amazing quality and quantity of food with our portions and reasonable prices. Some set menu choices, but changes seasonally which is great for exploring new dishes and you know you're getting freshly made food. Will definitely be coming back again many times, new favourite restaurant!

We've lived in London and NY trying all the vegan places and this is up there with the very best! Unbelievable that this is in Chesterfield!

I was amazed to find this fantastic cafe hidden away in Wingerworth. The staff were very friendly and the menu was varied and interesting. I had THE BEST homemade felafels and the roast veg salad was so generous that we were too full for cake which was packed up for us to eat later....lemon and blueberry, also delicicous. Well worth a visit.

Amazing service, Couldn't do enough to help. Great food, great coffee.

Such lovely food and a great relaxed atmosphere. The specials are varied and everything is beautifully presented

The best place to eat in Chesterfield with the bonus that the whole menu is plant based. I have eaten here many times, today my brother and I had the Wellington which was delicious and we finished off with lovely turmeric lattes. I can't recommend this place enough.

Imagine a place where every dish on the menu is unique and delicious, but contain absolutely zero animal products. Plate after plate of goodness, this place is good for the soul ❤️ I only wish we lived closer but I would be there every day if we did! It is worth a journey from wherever you are, for the freshness of the ingredients and the care taken by the chef as he lovingly creates your dinner from his ever changing menu. The paella I had last night was perfection and looked as good as it tasted. My partners pasta was cooked to perfection and to be honest I was sad I hadn’t ordered both dishes! A mention too for all the staff who have never been anything short of wonderful! I wish all restaurants were exactly like this one!

Absolutely love this place! The chef and staff are super friendly and attentive. The food is always superb, last time I had pancakes 🥞 and they were beautiful and equally tasty 😋👌 Added some more pictures of more amazing food and drinks from Figaro, mushroom soup and pumpkin spice latte! 👏🏻

Lovely food and a warm welcome. Brrakfast was delicious, and we're looking forward to trying lunch and dinner menus soon!

Fantastic food, whether you're vegan or not. The chef is passionate about his food & sources produce as locally as possible to create imaginative & tasty recipes that can be enjoyed by anyone. His love for his work is literally on every plate. The menu varies depending on what is available & changes frequently. I have been a few times & have never been disappointed. It is exceptional value for money & staff & venue are pleasant.

Lovely selection of well made cakes with plant based ingredients. As a non vegan, it was impossible to tell the difference between their lotus biscoff cake and one made with milk or eggs. Great coffee and a warm welcome on arrival.

Visited for lunch after reading a review in the Derbyshire Times. The service was excellent, Anne, Paris and Beth made our stay very enjoyable. We had the winter vegetable soup, tomato soup both with focaccia bread and a roasted vegetable sandwich on focaccia. All home made and delicious and vegan, I’m not a vegan but very tasty especially the focaccia bread. I wish we were in the area longer to revisit for dinner.

If you're a lover of vegan food this is off the scale rustic vegan food at its best great service and very friendly staff figaro wont disappoint

We are lucky enough to have this on our doorstep and it's one of our favourite places ever. The food is always delicious, beautifully made and real effort is put into the menu. Steve is so creative and never fails to amaze us with his dishes. We have frequented here since they opened and will continue to do so. This is a must visit if you are in the area- vegan or not, you won't be disappointed.

The service was good. The food was a little over the top on size portions but delicious. The place has my recommendation for vegan eaters and otherwise.

I have just found figaro, have been twice now and had amazing food and wonderful service. The staff are passionate about the ingredients they use and where they are sourced. Hone made with love. I am not vegan but their is something for everyone on the menu and specials board. Would highly recommend 👌

Stunning food, fabulous inside and such enthusiastic owners. The sharing platter was amazing.

A lovely quaint Vegan Restaurant place is amazing - the food was up there with the best vegan food I’ve ever had, gorgeous

I am not Vegan but always happy to try different food. The food we had looked and tasted amazing and didn't miss any dairy or meat at all. Friendly, helpful staff. Would recommend and we will all be going again.

Lovely food, service and choices, on the pricey side but portions are huge

Spent a few days in Ashover and found this fabulous eatery. The atmosphere, staff and food were all first class. Will definitely visit again

Some of the most delicious vegan food I've eaten out . Went for breakfast but will definitely be going back to try other meals Highly recommend the big Figaro and pancakes. Staff so friendly and lovely but not overbearing. Lovely atmosphere and clean.

Lovely restaurant, amazing food, excellent presentation and tasty, good value for money

A lovely little gem of a place. Great service, all food freshly prepared. Staff are friendly and helpful. Lovely choices too. Definitely will return.

Amazing food and staff. You need to try this place!!!

Absolutely beautiful little indi cafe/restaurant. Can’t wait to go back! The around the world menu looks amazing! Lovely menu, calm, atmosphere with a great bunch of staff. Going to visit more often as we really enjoyed it.

Easily, the best vegan food around. You will love it, simple as that!

What a fabulous place! Beautiful,tastie and fresh food. The staff were brilliant and looked after us very well. Thank you for making our night special. Can not wait to be back.

Amazing, creative and beautiful vegan food and fantastic service. We were spoilt for choice and even our kids (who aren't vegan) loved their food. Wish we lived closer and could visit more often!

This was our first visit and no amount of 5* reviews we read could have prepared us for just how excellent Figaro is. We chose the shared platter for two as a main. The presentation of the large boards (per person) and extra dishes (one, a delicious aubergine dish) was beautiful with its edible flowers and variety of ingredients. Not that we needed it, but the portion size was huge so much so that we took the spare home in containers for the next day. The waitresses are so friendly and helpful and the chef came out to chat to us and explained about the sourcing of the ingredients. You wouldn't know that the cheeses were vegan and a lot of the platter could be called vegetarian. The chef kindly prepared the boards so I could have gluten-free. Altogether, a great dining experience in an attractive setting. Thank you to all involved.

Excellent local café with friendly staff and amazing food!

Lovely staff, tasty food, big portions.

Figaros has to be one of the best vegan eaterys I've been to. From the moment you step in to the moment you leave you are greated by the loveliest people. The chef is a genius and makes the best bread and food. He also said he can make virtually the whole menu gluten free. The food was absolutely delicious and the portions were huge. Definitely worth a visit. We got our next visit booked in our diary as we were driving home!

Super friendly staff and the food is second to none. It's reassuring to know we can eat everything on the menu, we will definitely be coming back. Thank you ❤️

Excellent food, well presented with good portions. Staff are nice and very clean. Keep up the great work thank you 👍

Love it for both a quick coffee and cake or a full meal. Visit often. Great service always with a smile. Big helpings and very much value for money. Freshly made meals.

Lovely food,lovely atmosphere. Gotta drop a star because on last two visits they only offered half the menu.

Fantastic choice of food and hot and cold drinks. The 'Big Figaro' was superb and very filling.The waitress was friendly and efficient. Nice clean cafe with outside seating.

A great place to go for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Mushrooms on sourdough bread toast was amazing washed down with a pear and ginger tea. Recommended for vegan and none vegans alike.

Excellent vegan food, make sure you're nice and hungry when you go, we had the best big breakfast ever!

Yummy food; a very addictive place to eat. Smaller portions would be fine.

A member of our family recommended Figaro and so we went for an evening meal. Prior to turning up, one of our party had a difficult time asking what the specials would be as the standard menu would cause problems for their dietary intorelances. We ordered 4 drinks, 3 starters and 4 mains. One of the wines was horrible but also one of the starters was amazing and the other 2 were fine. For the main courses, two were well below average and the other two were good. A bill of £115 without tip means that this is way too expensive for a meal that did not meet expectations. We woudn't visit again but that is a shame because one of the starters and one of the main courses were fantastic.

Excellent food presented beautifully and served by friendly staff. Great value too. I wouldn't hesitate to come back!

Update April 2023: Came back. It's still as amazing! Great portion sizes, so much choice, everything just so tasty. This really is an amazing eatery. Original from October 2022: Wow, wow, wow. What an amazing find. I'm going to avoid doing the whole "this is a great place for vegan food" thing - this is a great place for food, full stop. Really attentive service from the waitresses and the chef personally chatted through the specials, which was amazing, and great to see that he'd designed the dishes around whatever he'd had delivered that day, including some beetroot from an allotment. The dishes were all completely fantastic, and the portions were all a really good size, which we felt offered great value for money. We don't usually have starters, and didn't really need them, but they were too tempting to turn down. The nicest meal out I've had in a long, long time. It's a bit of a cliche I suppose, but if I could give this 6 stars to make it stand out from other places I've rated as 5 over the years I would.

Had a disappointing experience this evening. Had seen the great reviews and was surprised when two of the dishes we were served were very different from their descriptions on the menu. When we pointed out that our son had ordered garlic pesto linguine and had instead been served roasted veg pasta puttanesca, we were told that they did not have linguine and that it was basically the same dish. My wife’s Mexican salad was also meant to have tortilla chips but they were non- existent!

Fresh food fabulously cooked! A total joy to see staff with a total dedication to their business and its menu - so enthusiastic! Love their breakfast granola fruit bowl. Everything about Figaro just makes me want to go back for more…

The chef Steve and all of the team always make us feel very welcome. My brothers and I were visiting from 3 different parts of Britain, having not been there for 6 months and we were remembered from the last visit. The food is absolutely outstanding. The service is quick and polite. We will always frequent Figaros every time we visit. Thank you for your kindness.

Always the best ☺️ There is no other vegan restaurant like it.

I have only had coffee and Cake so far all was very nice ☕🍰

Fabulous. As a full carnivore the Sunday dinner was lovely.

Fabulous lunchtime sandwiches - home made and very fresh ciabatta bread with a Mexican style filling and salad. Not your average snack - a major culinary event! Huge meal, great value, lovely staff. And everything is plant based.

Always enjoy a visit to Figaro and as they're dog-friendly, I can pop in even if I have the pooch with me. Food excellent, and great to have a vegan eatery in the village.

Absolutely amazing food really impressed 😊

A real find! Super friendly, very relaxed, & amazing food. Fresh filling & honest food! Unfortunately we couldn't manage pudding so we accidentally took an enormous slice of cake home to share later. Fab place!

Great Vegan Place, food is absolutely delicious, homemade,fresh and super tasty...Would highly recommend 😋

Lovely place with pleasant and efficient staff. Freshly prepared food and lovely cakes.Would definitely recommend.

What a fantastic afternoon, Stephen had kindly catered for 12 of us and put a fantastic buffet on for us, the food was incredible, the service was impeccable. The food was all fresh and to the highest quality, those who had not been before will be back. Thank you for a great afternoon Jason and Anne

Fabulous cakes (hard to believe they’re vegan!!) and coffee x

It's hard to find the words to adequately describe just how good the food is, so we'll settle for pretty incredible. I'm so happy to know there's plant-based food like this going out to the world for people to experience. The chef is insanely talented and you can tell he really understands food and flavour. Regardless of your dietary preferences, this is a place you should definitely visit. To top it off, the restaurant itself is lovely and homely, with really great staff. Highly recommended.

Nothing but fantastic. The chef is a genius, the setting is cosier than your nans house and the staff are lovely. Will keep coming back until I'm dead.

Dropped in on our way to Chatsworth and had a fantastic breakfast, cooked by a proper chef who really understands how to make plant based food really delicious. Very friendly service, just wished we lived nearby.

Took my partner for dinner tonight after having had wonderful experiences of this place before and both had the best meal out we've had in ages. The best place to eat in the area whether you're plant based or not!

Amazing place with delicious food and very lovely staff. Will definitely be going back.

Great food Nice atmosphere Friendly staff Recommended

Very yummy food indeed. Lots of selection.

Amazing tasty food...brilliant service...nice to know there was no cruelty involved in our meal...will definitely return...I would highly recommend the moroccan Wellington and chocolate cake. My daughter and I had X2 milkshakes..X2 Wellington dinners..X2 cakes and x2 coffees which came to £50 which in my opinion is reasonable for such high quality...totally plant based but would suit all palettes as it's just so tasty.

What a lovely surprise! My son had pizza, hubby had Jack fruit sandwich and I had aubergine & artichoke salad. All fresh and delicious. Large portions, so we'll have to go back for the deserts 😋

Family visit to Figaro for lunch today - we are all going to lie down for a few days now. All our food was delicious, staff were super nice and the place is done out with just the right amount of quirky. Very tasty - go there hungry!

Lovely Sunday lunch. Homemade. Friendly staff. Dog friendly

Fantastic food! We went for breakfast and the mushrooms on toast are to die for! Gorgeous! Lovely staff too ☺️

Lovely staff and chef. Good strong coffee. Chef agreed to reschedule the spectacular mushrooms on toast for me as I arrived late and should have been on the lunch menu. You know how it is when you really want a dish. They were plentiful and delicious. Prepared me for a long journey after a physical morning.

My Wife & myself went for Sunday lunch, neither of us are vegan but when calling in for coffee & cake which are exelent we thought we would try a full meal, Well!!!! It was well worth the visit, the food the srvice & presentation were very good, we were surprised by how good vegan food was, what a wonderful experience, would advise people who are not vegan to go & try it for yourself, we will definitely be going again, thank you to the whole staff,

This place does the best Vegan food I’ve ever tasted. The staff were great and the chef took the time to speak to us and he is a magician in the kitchen!

Absolutely stunning food and service will definitely be returning with more friends to show off this little gem 👌 The chef was more than accommodating offering small accompaniments with our meals going that little extra 👏

Stunning food Attentive staff.....

Wonderful place with a relaxed atmosphere and fantastic food!

Second visit, (and worth mentioning I am not a vegan), I just love great quality food and fresh ingredients, and Figaro certainly provides both - with added friendly service! Tonight I tried the Greek Pizza and it ranks as one of the very best pizza's I've had. Followed that with the chocolate and vanilla sundae for dessert...sooo nice. I would highly recommend this lovely restaurant to anyone!

My sister and I came for lunch today for the first time, my sister is vegan and I'm vegetarian. It was so good to be able to choose anything on the menu and not just be grateful of one option! We enjoyed it so much that we booked in for Sunday lunch too, oh and all three of our dogs were made very welcome too. Highly recommend.

I'll 'fess up . . . I'm not wholly vegan but on occasion I do enjoy a vegan meal with friends and family. This recent visit to Figaro has made me decide to eat vegan more often and this place is very high on my list of the places I very much think I will choose to do it. Ten out of ten guys, please keep up the good work.

We’ve just had such a lovely time at Figaro! The three ladies serving were so friendly and welcoming. The chef was off but they still made us such delicious meals of focaccia, pizzas and soup. I’m not a vegan myself, but I wouldn’t have even been able to tell the food was vegan. It was a really nice relaxed atmosphere. It was topped off with some cake and brownies that we could take home. We will definitely be coming back!

The food was incredible, tasted fresh & full of flavour. We all had a lovely evening & will definitely be returning. Highly recommend! ( :

I had lunch a few days ago, came with my sister, the food and service were excellent. Definitely visiting again. The focaccia was delicious, the surroundings really pleasant. Just the place for lunch. Thank you.

The sandwiches are absolutely banging and the pizza is without doubt the best in the area. I’m not a vegan and I eat regularly at this place, the food is so good. Excellent food, very well put together and great coffee too! So happy to have this just down the road! Thanks to the staff for always being so lovely and friendly too!

Visited as a party of 8 for my mum's birthday on a Sunday. They had a Sunday lunch on the specials and it was absolutely delicious. The staff were really attentive and friendly, accommodating of allergies and special requests for the kids. Only my mum is vegan out of the group but everyone really enjoyed their meals. Such a good find. I'll be highly recommending it to everyone. Thank you for the lovely afternoon, Figaro!
