Fodor's Review:

On the edge of Baie Nettlé, La Cigale has wonderful views of the lagoon from its dining room and its open-air patio, but the charm of the restaurant comes from the devoted attention of Olivier the owner, helped by his mother and brother. Stephane Istel's delicious food is edible sculpture: ravioli of lobster with wild mushrooms and foie gras is poached in an intense lobster bisque, an ethereal starter of cream-of-asparagus-and-broccoli soup sings, and house-smoked swordfish and salmon is garnished with goat cheese and seaweed salad drizzled with dill-lime vinaigrette. The pecan pie will make your forget the American version forever.
