GOAL
Redesign La Terrasse's bilingual menu to reflect the restaurant's patio identity and create a cohesive guest experience across food and beverage offerings.

OVERVIEW
La Terrasse is an Ottawa patio restaurant with a menu spanning Veuve Clicquot and Dom Pérignon to local Dominion City drafts, seafood platters, and wood-fired pizzas. I designed a bilingual English/French menu that brought editorial clarity to a wide-ranging offering while staying true to the restaurant's bold, marquee-lit personality.

MY ROLE
I built a typographic system and layout across eight bilingual spreads, managing multiple beverage categories with by-the-glass and bottle pricing, dietary icon systems, and featured items that needed their own visual hierarchy. The result gave La Terrasse a polished, readable menu that matched the energy of the space.
