The 1st Plate is composed mainly of traditional French sweets.

The 2nd Plate is a plate of baked goods incorporating early summer ingredients such as apricot and citron. Scones are served with confiture and whipped salted butter, offering a delightful variation with added accent and depth to the flavor.
The 3rd Plate is a savory dish incorporating iconic French ingredients such as croissants and ratatouille.
The ratatouille is intentionally served on brioche toast, enhancing the textural difference with its softness and light sweetness. The combination of duck and orange brings a light, early summer feel, while the layered flavors comfortably balance sweetness.
