What Makes a Great Menu?
A restaurant menu is a sales tool disguised as a list. It guides diners toward decisions, showcases the kitchen's range, and sets pricing expectations. A well-designed menu increases average ticket size because people order more when they can quickly find what they want and feel confident about their choices.
Organizing Menu Content
Group items into clear categories: appetizers, mains, sides, desserts, drinks. Within each category, put your highest-margin items near the top. Most readers scan the first and last items in a section, so place strategically. Every item needs a name, a brief description, and a price. The description should be appetizing and specific. "Pan-seared salmon with lemon butter, roasted asparagus, and wild rice" sells better than "salmon dinner."
Include allergen indicators or a note about accommodations. Dietary labels (V, VG, GF) help guests with restrictions make quick decisions without flagging down a server. This small detail reduces friction and makes more of your menu accessible to more diners.
Design and Readability
Readability is everything. A menu read in dim restaurant lighting needs high contrast and a generous font size. Avoid reverse type (light text on dark backgrounds) for body text. Elegant doesn't mean hard to read. The best restaurant menus pair beautiful typography with effortless legibility.

About This Design
Elegant typography and clean category separators create a dining-appropriate presentation. Prices are aligned consistently so the eye doesn't have to search. Dish descriptions use a slightly lighter text weight than item names, creating a natural visual hierarchy within each listing.
