Cicada
About Cicada
A trendy bar-restaurant in the self-consciously fashionable Clerkenwell, Cicada's mix of strong design, fun, and inexpensive food continues to attract a regular media industry crowd. There's a large, airy bar for the boozers, and top notch Pan Asian goodies served from an open plan kitchen for the peckish. Miso soup, delicate dim sum, tempura, sashimi and curries are all here, as well as some scrumptious barbeque specials. The wine list is extensive, though cocktails (from £6) are the drink of choice. When things heat up, head downstairs to the bijou club room. Or, on summer evenings, be seen sitting outside with a Bangkok bellini or three. Cicada has it all.
