The café is designed to let patrons “taste the colour”, with each product corresponding to with shades taken from the famous swatches created in the 1960s by founder Lawrence Herbert. Visitors can try out such aesthetically pleasing treats as a Chocolate Brown 19-1625 ice cream, a Vibrant Orange 16-1660 juice, or a Lemon 12-0221 puff.

The café offers pizza, salads, sandwiches, pastries, macaroons and homemade eclairs, in a variety of eye-catching colours. The treats are designed to be colourful and “promote good moods”, while allowing visitors to have a “multisensory” experience at the café.

The café is located near the Grimaldi Forum, which is holding an exhibit on Francis Bacon, Monaco and French Culture until 4 September. But, if you can’t make it to live out your colour-matched culinary fantasies before 9 September, the restaurant group is looking to launch a permanent location.
