Demo with a fictional restaurant
Casa do Tejo
What a riverside restaurant’s website could be. KOLZU made this demo to show its work to people who get in touch. The restaurant does not exist.

What we wanted to show
A restaurant does not need a website full of effects. It needs a menu you can read in the sun, the address in plain sight and a page that loads fast on a phone with a weak signal.
Every photograph has a recorded source and licence. No dish, price or review was made up as if it were real.
Decisions
Menu first
It is what most visitors look for, so it comes right after the introduction.
A map without tracking
The map is a static image: no cookies and no requests to map services.
Honest photographs
They come from image libraries, licensed and marked as illustrative. A dish name never captions a photo of something else.
