Fig & Olive

Fig & Olive is an international chain that makes Mediterranean-ish food like salmon burgers and burrata crostini, and their expansive location in Meatpacking is a perfectly pleasant place to stop in-between boutique hopping. The best time to come here is during the day, when light streams into the big, breezy dining room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and all you hear is silverware clinking and soft chatter at the bar. The food is pretty basic and priced up for the area, with sandwiches and entrees ranging from $24-$42, but if The Standard Grill is too crowded, this is the next best place around to get some mezze and chicken paillard at 1pm.
