Chancery Lane’s Cigalon brings the finest Provencal cuisine to London.
Set up by Pascal Aussignac of Club Gascon fame in 2011 the restaurant received glowing reviews for its well priced and varied Provencal menu set within the chic surroundings of a former auction house.

Diners enjoy the best of the South East of France and Corsica in dishes rarely seen here in the UK. Combining earthy flavours of the countryside with lighter coastal dishes, the menu provides a varied choice, accompanied by delightful wines from the same region. Secluded booths, banquette seating and a luxurious private dining room all enhance Cigalon's beautiful interior.

In the basement below sits Baranis bar where bespoke cocktails are enjoyed over a game of pétanque.

The food was ok, but there is a real lack of options - just 3 dishes to choose from for mains with one of those being vegetarian it left just a choice of red meat or fish I don't mind a simplified menu but this was perhaps cut back a bit too far

We had the 5 course tasting menu for a mid-week celebration dinner. Good range of flavours and textures with southern French themes. Excellent wine list.

We went for dinner in the evening, and the restaurant was very quiet -nearly desert. Which was nice but lacked a bit of atmosphere. Overall a decent experience, not the cheapeast place given the food.

Nestled in the City this gem is hidden but worth discovering . The service is impeccable and the ambience quiet and allowing friends to catch up. The food is adventurous and I can vouch for the cocktails . Will be heading back soo.
