A fast, editorial landing page for a fictional bistro, tuned until the numbers stopped moving.

The problem
A restaurant page has one job: make someone hungry and then let them book a table without friction. Most of them bury the booking behind a phone number and a PDF menu.
Decisions
01
Editorial rather than decorative
Type and spacing do the work — a hero slider, a menu that reads like a menu, and a gallery that does not fight the text for attention.
02
Booking that fits on a phone
Date and time pickers sized for thumbs, with the form reachable from anywhere on the page.
