RIVER · Restaurant Menu

The River is a restaurant, café, and pub located in Barri Vell of Girona, just below the church of Sant Feliu. It offers a warm family atmosphere, inspired by Bruce Springsteen and Native American culture, surprising and unique. They have various spaces: tables, a bar, the famous Chester sofas, and a fantastic terrace, so you can enjoy The River at any time of the day. In this project, the goal was to present a much more simplified menu, inspired by modern western restaurant menus.

Spectacular and Unique

And to bring together the whole set, we have used the material that best represents River: wood. Thus, the covers are made of wood laser-engraved and glued onto fabric. This allows for an impact both visually and tactilely. The cards are grouped by languages: Catalan, Spanish, and English (dark wood and maroon fabric); French, German, and Russian (light wood and orange fabric).

Complete Redesign

We have worked closely with the River team to create a much more streamlined, visual, and iconic menu. To achieve this, we have completely redesigned the menu, retaining only the elements that make up the basic aesthetics: typography and iconography. And most importantly, we have restructured the entire menu: we have grouped the products by type and by pages.

Individual Pages

One of the most significant complications that restaurants face when implementing menus is managing changes to dishes/prices. Most of the time, it means reprinting the entire menu, with the associated cost. To avoid this problem, we have worked with individual A4 sheets (without full bleed printing), easily replaceable in case of any modifications.

Devil is on the detail

When design decisions take into account both the aesthetic aspect, cost considerations, and the environment, they yield great results. That's why we have used high-quality recycled paper, which not only adds qualitative and sensory values but is also much more sustainable and eco-friendly: we eliminate laminations (plastic usage). We have also chosen to print in a single color (black), which allows us to be even more environmentally friendly and cost-effective at the same time.
