Dessert: Tiramisu triumph
Now, let’s talk dessert. Fouquet’s tiramisu is nothing short of legendary.

It’s the kind of dessert that makes you close your eyes and savour every spoonful, wondering if it’s socially acceptable to lick the plate.
Grapes: a Sauvignon Blanc to swoon over
To wash down all this culinary goodness, you’ll need a glass of their superb Sauvignon Blanc.
This crisp, refreshing white grape is the perfect partner for your meal, dancing gracefully with each dish and enhancing the flavours.
Whether you’re pairing it with a starter, main course, or dessert, the Sauvignon Blanc is a delightful choice that makes every sip a mini celebration.
