Les Halles: a green and gold website for a restaurant that travels the world from Casablanca

In the CIL district of Casablanca, Les Halles “Autour du Monde” serves French, Mediterranean and well-traveled cuisine, from breakfast to dinner. Dineora designed a website with the look of a glass pavilion and a covered market, which unfolds a menu organized like the stalls of a market hall and keeps takeout ordering and booking within reach.

A menu laid out like the stalls of a market

Les Halles is a restaurant in the CIL district of Casablanca, which presents itself under the motto “Autour du Monde”: international cuisine, exceptional produce, homemade. Its menu is organized like a market hall, each section named after a food trade. “L’étal à partager” opens the meal, “Le maraîcher” offers the market salad with seared tuna or the burrata, “L’écailler” the sea bass carpaccio with green amlou and pistachios, the salmon gravlax or the lobster roll. “La criée du poissonnier” serves the catch of the day in a salt crust or grilled over a wood fire, and the fine sole meunière; “Le grill du boucher”, the beef tomahawk to share, seared over embers, or the duck breast.

“Le traiteur voyageur” goes around the world, from barbecue-glazed beef short ribs to osso buco tagine with Majhool dates and butter chicken. In the morning, “Nos escapades matinales” offer breakfasts named after cities, from Paris to Fez, alongside the bakery, the egg cup and the skillets. Pastry, pressed juices, coffees, teas and cocktails round out the whole.

The challenge: a very large menu, a single common thread

Les Halles covers the whole day and almost every craving: breakfasts, fish and shellfish, grills, world cuisine, pastry, juices, coffees and cocktails, about thirty sections in all. The website had to give this abundance a common thread, that of the covered market, and make it readable without cutting its spirit.

It also had to set up the hushed atmosphere of a dining room under a glass roof, while keeping two simple actions within reach: ordering takeout and booking a table.

Bottle green, gold and glass roof: a pavilion art direction

The palette combines a deep bottle green, patinated golds and creams. The visuals created for Les Halles open on two plates separated by a diagonal of light: a roasted salmon steak, topped with crispy vegetables, tomatoes and olives, on green beans, broccoli and zucchini, and an orange entremets crowned with mango, domes of cream and coconut. Further down, a dining room under a wrought-iron glass roof, lit by globes, then an engraved still life.

The name is written in a large classic roman, with fine serifs, in ivory, above the line “Autour du Monde”. The mottos are set in widely spaced small capitals, linked by fine golden lines, and the logo depicts a glass pavilion. At the top of the screen, the Commander button takes the form of an oval green cartouche, ringed with golden laurel.

A home page that reads like an invitation to travel

The home page is explored by scrolling down. After the name and its three promises, short mottos are strung around the plates, linked by golden threads: “Voyagez avec les saveurs”, “Un lieu hors du temps”, “Recettes signatures”, “Ambiance authentique”, “Découverte & partage”, “Passion du produit”. The dining room under the glass roof then appears, with the phrase “Des saveurs d’ici et d’ailleurs, une expérience à chaque visite.” and the line “Les Halles autour du monde, tout un art de vivre.”.

Then comes the entire menu, presented as a large dark green board with golden letters, in three columns, each section accompanied by a small engraved icon. It ends on a Menu button shaped like a bronze plaque, decorated with herbs and tomatoes, set on the engraved still life.

An online menu for takeout ordering

The ordering page opens on a green and gold setting worked in relief: feather-like foliage, rosettes, lemon slices, wedges of cheese and a meringue tartlet, around a medallion showing the inside of a market hall and the title “Menu & Commander”. The sections sit on parchment-colored cartouches, in golden baroque frames garnished with garlic, lemon and herbs, with titles in dark red capitals. A bar at the top of the screen leads straight to the p’tit marché, the pastry chef’s display, the baker’s bakery, the egg cup or the morning escapades.

Each dish has its name, its price, a short description and an add-to-cart button. The customer builds the order, sends it to pick it up at the restaurant and can pay online. On a smartphone, the cart bar, framed with golden foliage, stays at the bottom of the screen the whole time the menu is being read.

Booking in a setting of arches and marble

The booking form opens in a dark panel titled “Réservations, votre table”. It fits on a single screen and asks for the essentials: full name, phone number, email, date, time, number of guests and special request, in parchment-colored fields. A “Réservation” button, shaped like a bronze plaque decorated with herbs and tomatoes, closes the form.

On a computer, the panel is surrounded by a geometric collage of arches, green stripes and marble, with two dishes served in green ceramic. On a smartphone, it switches to a single column, on a background of slate shards, with an olive branch and an earthenware jug.

On a smartphone, a navigation bar of medallions

On a smartphone, the home page recomposes vertically. The navigation moves down to the bottom of the screen, in a green and gold bar ringed with laurel, with three medallions: home, menu and ordering. The large menu board keeps its three columns, tightened.

On the ordering page, the parchment cartouches stack in one column, each dish with its name, its price and its add button. The section bar scrolls along the top of the screen and the cart bar stays fixed at the bottom.

A website prepared for local searches

The website is prepared for the searches people actually make in Casablanca: a restaurant in the CIL district, a Mediterranean restaurant, a menu, a burger, a burrata, a Caesar salad, a lobster roll, a duck breast or a beef carpaccio, or directly the name Les Halles. The page title, its description, its texts and its structured data present the restaurant, its neighborhood and its cuisine in a consistent way.

A detailed presentation page complements the home page, and the full menu can be read as text on the ordering page. No website can guarantee a place on Google: the work consists of giving search engines accurate, structured information that is identical from one page to the next.

A website for a French and Mediterranean restaurant in Casablanca, laid out like a market hall

A French and Mediterranean restaurant that thinks of itself as a covered market, like Les Halles in the CIL district, cuts its menu into stalls: the oyster bar, the fishmonger’s catch, the butcher’s grill, the bakery, the pastry counter, plus the morning escapades. A Casablanca restaurant website has to keep those stalls recognizable, offer takeout orders for the sea bass carpaccio or the mini burger, and open reservations for a family lunch or a group dinner.

  • Spare yourself a studio’s invoice. The restaurant funds neither agency nor cut on its takeaway dishes; what is ordered comes back whole.
  • A site before the stocktake is finished. Give the restaurant’s name and within minutes there is the menu sorted by stall, the images and the order pages.
  • Bottle green, patinated gold, glass roof. The art direction recalls the glass pavilion of Les Halles and its globe lights, not a generic dining-room backdrop.
  • Today’s market, published today. A different catch, a butcher’s special, a price: the chef corrects it himself and it reads at once.
  • No go-between from the hall to the table. Orders and bookings arrive straight at the house, with no platform in Casablanca or elsewhere.
  • Casablanca, Marseille or Lausanne. The software already serves restaurants in Rabat, Lyon, London or Sydney, each in its own language and currency.

For a French restaurant in Casablanca, it is a covered market put online, stall after stall, from breakfast to dinner.

The outcome: an elegant market hall, open from morning to night

The Les Halles website takes up what makes the place: a glass roof, a green and gold setting, a cuisine that travels, a menu laid out like the stalls of a market. It makes a very broad offering readable and keeps takeout ordering and booking within reach. A website that matches the restaurant, designed by Dineora.
