Last time I was there, I wanted something light. Ordered the warm goat cheese salad with candied pecans and a bowl of the French onion soup. Both perfection. The best French onion soup I´ve had anywhere. Service was attentive without being intrusive. Highly recommend it. More

We were recently in Puerto Vallarta on vacation. Friends had recommended that we try La Cigale during our visit. What a wonderful recommendation that was for us. We actually had dinner there twice in one week because of the marvelous atmosphere, staff, and meal! The food was well prepared, the service in the restaurant was wonderful, and the atmosphere is...

I have reviewed La Cigale before and found it to be one of Puerto Vallarta's rising stars. Our most recent visit, not so much. I don't like being critical of local restaurants which are normally quite good. Everyone can have an off night. I hope that is the case with La Cigale. While the atmosphere is still very Parisian-like and... More

I am not use to post review but I had a such a good time in La cigale that it deserves 5 minutes of my time. I passed in front of La cigale yesterday with my wife, we went in to have a glass of wine but stayed for dinner. The atmosphere is so French, a mixed of french elegance... More

Another restaurateur recommended this place so I guess our expectations were too high. It was good, not great. The service was excellent and very friendly. The portobello appetizer was great, but the red snapper main was only so-so. I would try it again, but not on one of our two week vacations. The are too many other great restaurants. More

We found this place by accident and were so pleased! The food was wonderful. I had the portobello appetizer and Nicoise salad with tuna. The tuna was seared perfectly. Great service also! Highly recommended! More

I would highly recommend La Cigale. For very good French food. I ordered the French onion soup it was wonderful. The Boeuf Bourguignon was excellent. The martini on the other hand was very expensive, and one of the worst I have ever had. I would recommend a glass of wine with dinner. More

Again La Cigale serves up the best mussels with pom frets'. You have 3 choices of preparation - the garlic/wine is the best. Lots of broth to soak up with fresh bread. Starters like warm Brie with apricot preserve - yummy. It really feels like a French Bistro, busy and energetic staff. You may want to book in advance, busy... More
