A concept redesign for a Syrian restaurant in Outremont: the home page follows one evening, from the mezzés to the grill to the wines, and every menu opens in the page.
A concept build made to show what we can do for a brand in this market. The brand and people are fictional.
The challenge
A restaurant known for its atmosphere needs a site that feels like the room: warm, dark and generous. It also has to answer the practical questions fast: what is on the menu, when is it open, and how to book.
The approach
We built the home page as one evening told hour by hour, with arched photos that echo the dining room, a live “open tonight” line, menus that open in the page instead of PDFs, and a reservation button that follows you everywhere.

Wines of the Levant
A short list of Syrian and Lebanese bottles and araks, with a link to the full wine list.

Menus that open in the page
Dinner, brunch, brunch drinks, desserts and wines. Each menu opens right in the page, no PDF to download on a phone.

A readable menu
Sections fold open, each dish with its translation and price, and the reservation button always in reach.
