/01 — THE BRIEF
The client wanted a clean, minimalist, modern site for the restaurant, with all details hidden neatly behind a menu. Simplicity was the central brand requirement.
/02 — THE APPROACH
The brief was a discipline exercise. The landing page strips back to almost nothing .Just brand, mood, and a single way in. Everything else lives behind a full-screen menu that opens on demand.
The food menus are presented two ways: viewable full-screen on the site, and downloadable as PDFs for guests who want to share or save them.
The About page handles the story, kept short and on-brand.
The whole site is built around one idea: nothing on screen that
doesn't need to be there.
