Modern PDF Restaurant Menu

I’m refreshing my restaurant’s look and need a menu that feels modern and sleek—clean lines, refined typography, balanced white space, and a subdued colour palette that aligns with a contemporary dining experience. The piece will live exclusively as a digital PDF, so please optimise it for both on-screen viewing and high-resolution printing.

For this first rollout I only need the Main courses section laid out. Appetisers, beverages and other categories may follow later, so design the grid and styles with easy future expansion in mind.

Deliverables:
• Print-ready PDF (A4, CMYK, 300 dpi)
• Web-optimised PDF (RGB)
• Editable source file (InDesign, Illustrator or layered PSD)
• Font list and colour values

Two initial concepts and one revision round should be enough for us to lock the direction. If you’re comfortable working in Adobe InDesign, Illustrator or similar tools and can keep the aesthetic firmly on the modern side—nothing overly traditional or playful—let’s get started.
