Cafe boss Rowan Adlington said: “To be ranked alongside the top 10 percent of restaurants and cafes in the world is amazing! It's great to see that we are consistent with our passion for what we do, the food we serve and our commitment to our wonderful customers!

"I am very proud of Figaro, we have come along way over the past three years. There have been a few changes along the way and its fair to say that hospitality is going through some tough times right now but we have a fantastic “work family” and that goes a long way to making the difference!"

Figaro offers a plant-based menu that is changed twice a year and a specials board that is changed week to week and includes vegetarian dishes.

Rowan said: “After trading for three years we made the change from being solely plant based to being vegetarian/vegan in order to increase footfall within the local community. We’ve been seeing lots of new faces which has been wonderful and gives us the opportunity to showcase our menu to people who are unfamiliar with what plant based eating looks like! People do travel long distances to eat with us, it’s hard to find good vegetarian and vegan food that isn’t fast food based. Everything we do is freshly cooked from scratch. We have two wonderful chefs from different parts of the world bringing great ideas and great flavours to our menu. I think people love that we’re a little bit different!”

Among the latest reviews for Figaro on TripAdvisor was this posted by Pioneer401959 who wrote: “Amazing food and lovely friendly staff, my husband and dog are regulars. We have been coming here for a long time and always excellent.” David N from Brimington posted: “Fantastic homemade bread and olive starter, mushroom pizza for mains with sides of coleslaw, kimchi salad and cajun cauliflower. Cherry ice cream and fresh coffee for dessert.”

The fully licensed cafe offers breakfast, brunch, Sunday dinners, cakes, cocktails and cask beers. Check out the menu at https://figarowingerworth.wixsite.com/website
