Try the Red Fig on Warm Summer Night

By Janet Baker

Did you watch and wonder what in the world they were doing with that little house on the corner of Fremont and NE 46th for months and months? Well finally the answer was revealed as Chefs Matt Reddick and Jason Bonfiglio opened the Red Fig earlier this summer.

The newest addition to the Fremont dining scene offers a casual alternative that is healthy, economical and fast. You can grab your food and take it back to the office or home, you can sit inside, or you can dine on the spacious outdoor patio under the torchlights. Whichever way you go, Matt and Jason offer a variety of bentos, kabobs, salads, soups, sandwiches and homemade desserts. In addition to chicken, beef and salmon choices, there are a several vegetarian options. I quickly became addicted to the Thai Peanut Chicken Pasta salad, but will be going back to try the veggie kabob soon.

The Red Fig, 4537 NE Fremont, is open Monday through Friday 11:30-3:00 for lunch and 5:00-8:30 for dinner. On Saturdays, they are open 12:00 to 8:00. Closed Sundays. You can call ahead for takeout orders (335-7068).
