    La Cigale is a fabulous restaurant in the Izmir city centre area. Incredible drinks, great food, spectacular ambiance, and live music to go along to make your time here memorable. Staff makes great suggestions for food and drink pairings, and a lot attention is paid to presentation and service. Overall this is a fantastic restaurant if you're looking for Italian food in the area, or if you're just in for some good wine/cocktails.

    HORRIBLE . First of all we waited more than a hour just to get our food. The restaurant was empty ,had only 4 tables occupied . The food was horrible. Going to share pictures. The paella wasn’t well cooked, smelled bad , the rice was hard , wasn’t well cooked, had lot of cream or water . It was like porridge. The meat plate was so bad , couldn’t eat it. We left it that way . We told the waiter how bad the food was but didn’t care. Avoid this restaurant. I don’t understand how they got all these reviews.

    Delicious food, lovely atmosphere and very reasonably priced. We are glad that our only night in Izmir was spent here. Definitely go if you’re here for one night only!

    People this place is AMAZING.Food is so tasty that you are craving for more 😋 soups, French part of cuisine, sea food, paella 🥘 salads - definitely place for going out with partner or friends. They have good wines too. Servis (waiters) were really helpful and fast considering how crowded was. Thank you and see you again 🙏🏼

    Perhaps the best restaurant for a date in Izmir. The place is massive but you should still reserve a spot. The meals are delicious and prices are relatively fair for a restaurant of such quality.

    Good music good choice of drinks. Didn’t try food but they were looking good as well. Staff was not matching all those qualities. They might try to charge you extra (things you don’t order) if you go with a large group.

    I went last year the service was very good, the food was amazing but today the service was very very bad u need to wait for an hour until a waiter looks at you, the food was not just bad it was also cold, even after we asked them to change it. The atmosphere on the other hand is nice.

    Warm welcome by staff. Atmosphere friendly and unintrussive. Guidance given when choosing dishes. The food is excellent. It is slightly more expensive than some other restaurants but definitely worth a visit.

    First time I went there was 5 years ago. A decent restaurant with a good service that encouraged me to go back around twice a year. The quality of the food was gradually deteriorating but tonight’s experience was something else. I went there with my wife and nephew, ordering a pizza, a steak and a burger. The service arrived so late, even though there were not many customers around. Then the service arrived, including 3 pieces of bread and probably 50 grams of olives, but there were no plates. We had to wait for another 10 minutes to get some plates. Next was ordering drinks. I ordered a beer from the menu which they said they don’t have it. The waiter offered some other beers which would cost a fortune, but I insisted that I wanted to have local beer. Finally the food arrived. The steak was so small and so poorly garnished that I immediately lost my appetite. The pizza seemed to be ok, but my wife didn’t touch it. The burger was a bite, small enough to be devoured by a cat, surrounded by plenty of potatoes. We didn’t even touch the food. I paid the bill, and we left the restaurant, paying more than 1200 for a beer and some water. Then we went to a real restaurant to eat. Worst dining experience ever.

    The food is pretty good and the atmosphere is great, but sometimes the service is a little slow.

  • 2/5 PP K. 6 months ago on Google
    This is my fourth time here. We come here because of the vibe. Food is not impressive. Nevertheless this dish ‘la cigale’ was really the worst. It is written.. Fresh pasta with gorgonzola sauce and walnut with spinach??? First… the pasta was NOT FRESH one. The sauce was hardly found or tasted like gorgonzola but more cream. The taste was very bland! Very disappointed… The other dishes were mediocre 🙄🙄

    Beautiful place with a wide food range! Cocktail PARIS was gorgeous 🍸 Seafood Paella was delicious with a lot of seafood 🍤

  • 5/5 Lale D. 1 year ago on Google
    Casual modern restaurant that is able to accommodate large groups. Very nice atmosphere, like an oasis in the middle of the city. Very good food and good service.

  • 3/5 Hakan K. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice looking place, atmosphere and general outlook is the best we have seen in our short stay in Izmir, however the service is inadequate and not good enough, it spoils the experience, on top of the they charge 10% service charge to the bill. ps Steak was good risotto was dry cheese plate is excellent wine menu is extensive and good I will not go there again because of the bad service

    Nice open environment with live music , a busy Saturday night but waiters were nice and friendly to help . Nice food, big portion for me, couldn’t finish everything , fresh vegetables.

  • 4/5 Rikko 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful restaurant, with amazing atmosphere and live music. Food was excellent too! The only drawback is that almost everyone was feeling cold and restaurant was left with Roof top and windows open, but to tell the truth they have distributed blankets. It is still a must go to restaurant, just take a jacket with you 😉.

    We had the most soft and juicy steak ever with mushroom sauce. Also the mushroom chicken was delicious. Atmosphere is warm and cosy with lovely live music. Made the day with my lover much more special.

    This can be the best place for a chill dinner in Izmir. Great food, great service.

  • 3/5 Rahila S. 4 years ago on Google
    Food and wine was great. The place ambience is also very good. It was too noisy though and they took a long time to serve. I also felt I got a few disapproving looks from the staff for going there solo (I was on a solo trip to Turkey)

👍 It's really cheap for 1.5 euros you can eat a whole bowl of pasta with tomato sauce and pickles. But its presentation isn't satisfying. The staff is kind and helpful towards customers.

👍👍 Enjoy the time here. Here is one of the oldest bakeries in İzmir. They bake the bread in the oven(Kara fırın). The gevrek was thinner than what I usually eat, so it tasted more crispy. It was the first time to tastes Kumru, and I like it. During this hot weather I recommend to eat with Ayran!😉
