LA CIGALE La Cigale is one of the most popular restaurants on the main drag of Itaewon. The place stands out because of it’s colorful French atmosphere. There’s even a bright mural of an outdoor café scene on the wall outside. The mural beautifies the whole depressing look of Itaewon.

They just introduced a brunch special called ‘The Hangover Platter’ It comes with scrambled eggs, yogurt, fruit, a bacon muffin, toast with goat cheese, and a salad. At night, the place takes on a romantic candlelit atmosphere. The mussels are the most popular thing on the menu and there are all kinds of sauces to accompany your mussels. There’s a lot of choice in the seafood dept. but the rib eye steak and the beef stew are also brilliant. The pork with mustard sauce is also good. There’s a lot to choose from on the menu and most of it is good. Look out for the daily specials.
