What to order
The plates that decide it
- One Provençal-herb scoop — lavender, thyme or rosemary — the regional flavours are the real point of difference here
- Tomato-basil or black-olive sorbet — the famous savoury oddities — order a small taste even if just for the curiosity
- Violet or rose — the floral sorbets are the prettiest of the safer adventurous picks
- A tower of three clashing experimental flavours — the wild ones don't layer well — pair one bold scoop with one classic
