Cigalon

Bringing Provençal Cuisine to London

The menu changes monthly according to what’s most in season, with a focus on lightly grilled meats, beautiful fresh fish and top quality vegetables from independent growers.

The wine list features our pick of the best southern French and Corsican wines around, and we host a monthly wine dinner showcasing our favourite wines from across the world.

Cigalon is a contemporary French restaurant cooking highly seasonal, delicious plates of food inspired by the flavours of Provence and the surrounding Mediterranean coastline.

We are open for lunch and dinner Tuesday to Friday. Our restaurant is located inside a former auction house on London's historic Chancery Lane.  Enjoy pre-dinner drinks in Baranis, our Riviera inspired cocktail bar with indoor Pétanque.

About Cigalon

The dining room seats 68 people with banquette seating, individual tables and secluded romantic booths.  Our private dining room can seat up to 8 persons.

The kitchen is led by Chef Julien Carlon and the cooking is broadly Provençal, with dishes such as Côte de veau, sauce Mentonaise and panisses and Salade Niçoise sitting alongside fresh pasta from across the border in Piedmont.

Cigalon takes its name after the eponymous hero – a chef – in Marcel Pagnol’s 1935 film of the same name and also the dialect word for cigale or cricket.

The restaurant is housed in a former auction house and features a double height and glass ceilinged dining room with an open-plan kitchen that's focused around the wood fired Josper grill.
