Our party of two booked for an evening meal just a few days after the Mas des Herbes Blanches opened again for business after several months closure for total refurbishment. The new décor is very Provençal and in quite a quirky way. We went for the seasonal set menu (at 65 euros) which in June was themed around the tomato. Every single dish from the amuse bouches to the dessert (yes even the dessert) contained tomatoes in one form or another. On balance the theming worked well but the pre-dessert palate cleanser of yellow tomato purée with pineapple was an odd combination and didn't really work. Similarly the dessert combining red tomatoes with strawberries was rather odd. Service was polite and relaxed but rather erratic, perhaps indicating the newness of the restaurant (we had to wait interminably for the bill). Small glasses of wine at 12 euros seemed rather excessive. And finally why a restaurant of this supposed quality has to have incessant infernal muzac playing is a mystery.
