What to order

The plates that decide it

  • One Provençal-herb scoop — lavender, thyme or rosemarythe regional flavours are the real point of difference here
  • Tomato-basil or black-olive sorbetthe famous savoury oddities — order a small taste even if just for the curiosity
  • Violet or rosethe floral sorbets are the prettiest of the safer adventurous picks
  • A tower of three clashing experimental flavoursthe wild ones don't layer well — pair one bold scoop with one classic
