Les cigales - Carte

The staff are rushed but then again they are dealing with about 15 tables of hungry customers. They do their best and the food is good and not too expensive. The square is pretty and in a nice part of perigueux.

We ducked out of cold spring weather to find ourselves the first to arrive and warmly welcomed. The plat du jour was fine, but the French Fries were a nuisance, while a dish from the menu proved more interesting and authentic. Plenty of locals joined us as the afternoon arrived.

J'ai pris le plat de saumon qui était incroyable ! Les pâtes et la salade étaient également bonnes. Le serveur était charmant et le service était rapide. Je n'en revenais pas de voir à quel point il était mal classé sur Trip Advisor, il mérite vraiment plus de louanges ! Bon restaurant familial. Voir le carte

Nous y sommes allés pour déjeuner avec mon mari et notre fils de 5 ans, la nourriture était bonne, le service était presse mais ce qui n'était pas si bon était le prix d'un sirop à l'eau équivalant à un sirop avec de l'eau du robinet coûtant 2,80 euros, le sirop le plus cher de tous les restaurants où j'ai mangé dans cette région. Je devrais laisser mon fils prendre une bière la prochaine fois ! Les desserts à 6 euros étaient un peu chers pour ce genre d'endroit et cette qualité. Dans l'ensemble, le repas était moyen.

Came across the resto by chance while looking for a place to eat. Chose two lunch menus. I had foie-gras, salmon and fondant, husband had a tart, pasta with salmon and apple pie. The bloc de foie-gras was served on a black stone plate with pepper and salt dashes, looked just great and tasted just as great. The salmon served with rice and sauce could have lacked flavor, but generally was OK, especially when dipped in the sauce. Fondant au chocolat with sauce was fine. Husband was less satisfied with his meal but I had a taste and thought he was being overly discerning. The fun thing was the Madame who served us. When she heard that we would have just a glass of water, she acted like a drama q...

We were looking for a Restaurant we had been to before, but found Les Cigales by chance. It was a Monday Lunch and it was very busy they had a party of 30 arrive just after we sat down. We were not in a rush and it was very pleasant sat under the trees. The whole of the outside dining area was covered by the trees, excellent on a hot sunny day, nice and cool.We decided on the menu of the day, between us we had the Goats cheese Salad and the Pate, both very well presented the Salad was the better option but both choices were OK, for the main course we both went for the Steak & Chips with pepper sauce again well presented the Steak was very good very tender, both went for the Crème Caramel for...

I've read the negative reviews to date, but in our case our lunch today was superlative. About the only things in the negative reviews that strike any kind of chord are the comments on the sense of humour - or lack thereof - of Madame la serveuse, and on the decor, which is a bit of cottagey-cliché.The two waiters who saw to us were polite, unobtrusive and there exactly when needed. The maître at the caisse was very warm and endlessly apologetic when the crest card machine failed twice while we were paying.Our lunch, the menu de €19,90, was easily one of the best we have had in many trips to France. My wife's croustillante de Camembert was a large, very tasty salad and my moules au gratin wa...

Je qualifierais cela de l'épiphanie de la restauration de café sur une place animée d'une ville française, c'est juste à côté de la rue des Chaines et pas loin de la rue de la République. Les Cigales rivalisent avec deux ou trois autres cafés brasseries en plein air et ma femme et moi avons trouvé que leur menu avait l'avantage sur le principal concurrent. Comme d'autres contributeurs l'ont fait remarquer, le service est rapide; nous avons trouvé notre jeune serveur et notre jeune serveuse efficaces et sympathiques - nous ne nous sommes pas sentis pressés - et, si vous avez une soirée ensoleillée sans trop de vent, cette petite place Saint Silain est un endroit charmant. Étant donné que ce c...
