A well-executed taste of Provence off Fleet Street, Cigalon breathes fresh, lavender-scented air into the area’s traditional dining scene. While the chef’s neat, modern take on traditional French dishes isn’t going to start a revolution, the food is really very good. Curved booths with lavender-inspired upholstery surround clusters of businessmen, light fittings twirl in the arching roof space, and hive-patterned lattice decorates the wall. You get the sense that every detail has been considered: from the waiters’ ties that match the cushions, to the tastefully innovative Corsican wine list. Service was friendly and professional, as each course emerged from the open kitchen at the back of the restaurant. The set menu is good value for three outstanding yet uncomplicated courses. Black olive tapenade was topped with seasonal wild garlic, served with delicate, fresh bread. Chilled mint and lettuce soup was a real taste of summer, and crisp-skinned sea bream was impressive on top of fresh borlotti beans. Lavender appeared again in a delicious blackberry sorbet, served with a smooth, melting chocolate fondant. Closed at weekends, this is very much a City establishment that makes you feel you’ve escaped the city.
