Cigalon - Menu

Indeed one of the reasons why I love coming home to London - beautiful, intimate restaurants with excellent service and equally gorgeous food - Cigalon

Cigalon, the just-opened Provencal restaurant and grill on Chancery Lane, ticks every box. Cuisine I like? Check I love French food and especially that of

I booked a table at Cigalon following a Bookatable promotion for a three course meal and cocktail - heading here with two of my girlfriends to change things

...For the starter, I ordered Tripes Bastiasises', a dish consisting of tripe (obviously), gnocchi and olives in a tomato sauce. This was a really well-seasoned dish and there was not a single bland flavour, while the tripe was not overly chewy.

For my main course, I chose the wild rabbit saddle and leg with Jerusalem artichokes and chestnuts 19), which was paired with a glass of the 2008 Domaine Triennes Les Aurliens (Cteaux Varois), a lovely spicy wine with herby hints and lots of big berry fruit.

I have a soft spot for the Loire Valley. it is probably the first place where I tasted wein – on a family camping holiday in my childhood. with limited means, my parents made the brave and, at the time unusual, decision that we would camp instead of staying in a hotel to spend more money for eating and going out. my vater never came in full connection with the compromise, although my mother seemed to have a masochistic joy on the canvas tent that was our home for a few weeks each summer. we drove to harwich, take the ferry over east end or le havre and spend the night in a hotel before they have chosen to any destination they have chosen for us this year.
