Cigalon is a Provençal restaurant at 115 Chancery Lane in central London. Set in a former auction house, its atmospheric dining room provides an elegant setting for seasonal French cooking at lunch and dinner, with a private dining room for smaller gatherings.
The à la carte selection changes monthly and draws inspiration from Provence and the Mediterranean coast. Snacks and smaller plates lead into salads, grilled meats and line caught fish, allowing the kitchen to respond to the produce available through the season.
A Provençal tasting menu offers another way to explore the restaurant’s cooking, while the set menu suits a more concise lunch or evening meal. Sourdough, fougasse, olive tapenade and panisses establish the southern French direction before larger vegetable, seafood and meat dishes.
The wine list concentrates on southern France and Corsica, mixing familiar grapes with bottles from lesser known producers. Vegetarian and vegan choices are available, and diners with allergies should tell the restaurant in advance so the current menu and preparation can be checked.
