Now, renowned chef Cyril Lignac has moved the <a href=\"https:\/\/robbreport.com\/tag\/london\/\" id=\"auto-tag_london\" data-tag=\"london\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">London<\/a> outpost of his Saint-Germain gem to 41 South Audley Street, five years after choosing the British capital for his debut outside his native France.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe new Mayfair address will continue the culinary language\u2014French technique, interwoven with Japanese and other Asian influences\u2014with which seasoned regulars have become enamored over the last half a decade: Lignac\u2019s signature classics such as crunchy crab and avocado galette with Madras curry; sea bass with yuzu and dry miso; and beef gyoza sharpened with ginger and soy. Diners can also expect delectable sushi, sashimi, and seafood-led plates while decadent desserts include vanilla mille-feuille layered with pecan praline and profiteroles drenched in chocolate sauce.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe Franco-Asian dialogue continues at the bar, with signature offerings including Tokyo Garden (made with Tanqueray 10 gin, shiso, sake, lychee, and yuzu).
