The Menu

ArtistSidewalk Chalkboard MenuImagine if you had the opportunity to open a restaurant. What kind of food would you serve? For this assignment, you will design a menu for a restaurant or café in a French-speaking country. You may be as creative as you like with the design of your menu, but it should be attractive to potential customers. While you can serve whatever you like, you must include at least eight food options and eight drink options.

Be sure to list the prices on your menu. Many French restaurants offer a menu à prix fixe, or include gratuity in the cost of each item, so consider incorporating these aspects into your menu. Remember, since your restaurant is going to be located in a French-speaking country, there should be no English on your menu.

Before you begin, please review the Menu Design Checklist to make sure that you include all of the items required for full credit.
