The brief
Make room for the setting and the details.
Large photographs establish the setting, but practical information needs an equally clear place. Menus, opening hours, location and reservations sit within a shared navigation system, with a separate path for event inquiries.
Our role
The project brings visual design, bilingual content and booking interactions into one website. Its structure separates browsing the venue from reserving a table or describing an event.
Visual direction
Warmth, with a light touch.
Cream softens the page around the photographs. Dark brown anchors the text, while gold follows the existing venue mark into selected actions. The restrained palette leaves the interiors and food as the strongest visual material.

Expressive headings
Cormorant Garamond gives titles an editorial cadence; Manrope keeps supporting text and controls clear.
Photographic rhythm
Generous spacing and rounded image frames let the setting lead between concise blocks of information.
A connected palette
Warm cream, dark brown and the logo’s gold give separate pages a recognizable shared identity.
Interaction design
From a first look to a useful action.
The page structure supports three straightforward stages.
Explore the setting
Photographs and short introductions establish the venue and the spaces available.
Find the details
Dedicated menu, event and contact pages organize the information needed before a visit or inquiry.
Choose the next step
Reserve through ialoc or send an event brief through the separate inquiry form.
Design in practice
Content first. Interaction where it helps.
Next.js and next-intl serve the localized pages. Client interactions are concentrated in navigation, forms and booking; the ialoc widget loads when opened. A local illustrated map communicates location without an embedded map SDK.
Two distinct actions
Table reservations open the ialoc booking flow. Event inquiries use their own form, so each action sets an appropriate expectation.
A short event brief
The inquiry moves through contact details, event type and date or description. Grouping related questions gives the form a clear sequence.
Useful information close by
Menus, phone, hours and directions remain direct destinations. Both languages explain the Romanian menu PDFs and their lei prices.
The result
One visual language. Several clear journeys.
The finished website combines a photographic introduction with practical menu, booking and inquiry routes. Repeated typography, warm surfaces and consistent actions connect the pages without making every section look identical.
