Classic Cafe Menu Design -- 2

My café needs a timeless, classic-style menu that looks just as inviting on a screen as it does in a guest’s hands. I will supply the dish list, pricing, logo, and brand colours; your job is to bring them together in a cohesive layout that feels elegant rather than trendy.

Because I serve customers both at the counter and online, I need two fully-finished versions:

• Print-ready file – high-resolution, CMYK, sized for standard A4 (or US Letter if you prefer) with 3 mm bleed and clear trim marks

• Digital version – optimized for on-screen viewing (interactive PDF or 16:9 PNG/JPEG set) that staff can update prices in the future

Typography, spacing, and hierarchy should honour a classic aesthetic—think clean serif fonts, subtle line ornaments, and a calm, uncluttered flow across sections such as starters, mains, desserts, and beverages. Consistency between the print and digital layouts is essential so guests instantly recognise our brand in either format.

I will review an initial concept, request one round of revisions, then sign off on final artwork ready for press and upload. After hand-off, all working files (Adobe InDesign or Illustrator) should be included so minor edits can be made in-house later.

If you have recent examples of similar restaurant or café menus, I’d love to see them alongside your bid to make sure our visions align.
