Keyann Bistro Libanais: the warmth of a Lebanese table in Lausanne, from the embers to the menu

In Lausanne, Keyann Bistro Libanais serves mezze, grills and Lebanese desserts behind a brick-colored façade with green shutters. Dineora designed a website that lets you feel the embers and the fresh herbs from the very first screen, then leads straight to the menu, ordering and table booking.

A Lebanese bistro in Lausanne, from lunch to dinner

On its logo, Keyann Bistro Libanais describes itself as “refined Lebanese cuisine”. Its menu follows the course of a Lebanese meal: cold mezze such as hummus, hot mezze, including an entirely vegetarian section with spinach fatayer, salads such as tabbouleh, then grills: beef shawarma marinated with cardamom, shish taouk, kafta, meshwi. Lebanese desserts follow, the mouhallabieh with orange blossom and pistachios or the bouza b halib.

Lunch has its own sections: a lunch menu, a daily menu that changes day by day, like Monday’s daoud basha, and a platter designed for meetings and office breaks. In the evening, menus unfold in several acts. The cellar sets Lebanese and Swiss wines side by side, next to arak and a house lemonade with orange blossom and mint. In the opening image, the façade is easy to recognize: brick walls, green shutters, a “Restaurant libanais” sign and a planted terrace.

The challenge: serving every moment of the day without losing the taste of Lebanon

Keyann welcomes guests at very different moments: a quick lunch built around the daily menu, a platter ordered for a meeting, an aperitif over a few mezze, a dinner where grills and Lebanese wines are shared. The website had to speak to each of these audiences without becoming a simple list of dishes.

It also had to convey what sets a Lebanese meal apart: a table covered with small plates, freshly chopped herbs, the embers of the grills. The home page takes care of that through imagery, while the menu, which is very extensive, has to stay readable and quick to scroll through when ordering or booking. Two buttons, placed at the top of every screen, keep these two actions within reach.

Art direction drawn from the façade and the table

The palette starts from the bistro’s façade: brick red, the olive green of the shutters, golden ocher and cream. The two painted buttons carry it into the world of the place: Réservation in orange-red, Commander in deep green, both ringed in gold and decorated with scrolls. The circular logo, with Keyann in blue, opens the home page.

The visuals show the Lebanese table up close: a fattoush with bits of toasted bread in a teal bowl, a bunch of chopped parsley on a wooden board, a golden platter of kibbeh, crispy rolls and pastries studded with pomegranate seeds, set on a braided rope mat. The large headings are set in an elegant, high-contrast serif typeface that lets the images breathe; the ordering page, for its part, uses brush-drawn lettering.

A home page that moves like a film

On a computer, the home page is a film that advances as you scroll. It opens on the bistro’s façade, glowing embers in the foreground, with a clear headline: “La chaleur du Liban, à votre table.” The text that goes with it names the mezze, the kafta and the shish taouk right away.

Scrolling then leads under a sunlit wooden terrace: “Des herbes fraîches, des envies de soleil.” The text fades away and leaves the image alone for a moment, the blade resting on the parsley, before the chapter on hot mezze: “Croustillants. Fondants. À partager.” Each step carries a small subtitle, “Bienvenue chez Keyann”, “Le goût des beaux jours”, “Encore un à goûter”, which gives the journey the feel of a menu told as a story.

A menu embroidered with olive branches for ordering

The ordering page opens on a large brush-drawn title, “Menu & Commander”, at the center of a painted setting of red and green arabesques, bordered by lemons, olives, hummus and Lebanese bread. The sections are presented on cream cards framed by a braid embroidered with olive branches, a silver spoon tucked into a fold of the fabric.

Each dish appears with its visual, its name and its price; a small chevron unfolds its description, and a round button adds it to the basket. On a computer, a dark bar at the top of the page lists all the sections so you can jump straight to the grills or the desserts. You build your order, then send it to pick up at the bistro or have it delivered.

Booking on a slate, on a single screen

The Réservation button opens a window painted like a bistro slate, in a gilded wooden frame, with stylized flowers in the four corners. The title “Réservations” is written across it in large white brush-drawn letters, above the name of the restaurant.

The form fits on a single screen and asks for the essentials: full name, phone number, email, date, time, number of guests and special request. On a computer, the fields are arranged in two columns; the painted button that sends the request echoes the one at the top of the page.

On a phone, the same journey in portrait

On a phone, the home page is recomposed in portrait: the logo, then “La chaleur du Liban, à votre table.” above the embers. The buttons become Réserver, in cream and red, and Commander, in green, always at the top of the screen. Scrolling then reveals “Installez-vous, le Liban est servi”, with the façade and its sign, then a series of framed images: the fattoush, the hot mezze, the hummus, before the bistro’s opening hours.

The ordering page keeps its embroidered cards, dish after dish, with a dark wooden basket bar fixed at the bottom of the screen and, at the top, the sections that slide past with a swipe of the finger. The booking form switches to a single column, its seven fields nicely spaced out.

A website prepared for local searches

The website is built around what people look for in Lausanne when they feel like Lebanese food: a Lebanese restaurant, a table with a terrace, a place to eat vegetarian, a restaurant open on Sunday, mezze or falafel, or simply the name Keyann. The page title, its description, its texts and its structured data present the bistro, its city, its cuisine and its menu clearly.

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 its position on Google: what can be done is to give search engines accurate, well-structured and consistent information.

A Lebanese bistro in Lausanne: the website that follows lunch, aperitif and dinner

A Lebanese bistro changes face through the day: a lunch menu and a menu of the day for office breaks, platters for meetings, mezze to share with drinks, evening menus in several acts, Lebanese and Swiss wines. A Lebanese restaurant website in Lausanne therefore has to follow the clock, offer takeaway and delivery ordering and the booking of the evening table.

On budget, it stays bistro-sized: no agency and no quote, and no commission on meeting platters or takeaway menus. Getting started takes about a lunch break: you give the name, and the menu and ordering pages come together within minutes. The look is that of the façade, red brick, green shutters, golden scrolls, never an imported theme. The menu of the day changes every morning; the owner rewrites it from a phone and the page shows it at once. Table and order requests arrive straight at Keyann, with no platform stepping in. And the city is no border: the same software runs tables in London, Rabat or Sydney, in several languages and the local currency, which also welcomes visitors passing through.

For a bistro or Lebanese restaurant in French-speaking Switzerland, Dineora builds a site with the warmth of the embers.

The outcome: a website that tastes of the embers

The Keyann Bistro Libanais website begins with the warmth of the embers and carries on into a menu embroidered with olive branches. In between, it tells how the bistro likes to eat, with plates to share, fresh herbs and grills, and keeps within reach what people come there to do: book a table, order for pickup or delivery.

Questions about this project

Who designed the Keyann Bistro Libanais website?

The Keyann Bistro Libanais website was designed by Dineora: art direction, a home page that plays like a film as you scroll, an online menu, an ordering page and a booking form.

Can you order from Keyann Bistro Libanais online?

Yes. The ordering page presents the whole menu, from the mezze to the grills and the wines: you add your dishes to the basket, then send the order, for pickup at the restaurant or for delivery.

Can you book a table at Keyann Bistro Libanais on its website?

Yes. The Réservation button, at the top of every page, opens a single-screen form: full name, phone number, email, date, time, number of guests and special request.

How can a Lebanese restaurant in Lausanne publish its lunch menu and menu of the day each morning?

The owner edits the sections from a phone or computer: the menu of the day changes as soon as it is saved, with no developer or agency involved.

Can a Lebanese restaurant handle takeaway, delivery and bookings on a single site?

Yes. The bistro’s site brings together the menu, takeaway or delivery ordering and table booking, and everything reaches the owner directly, with no commission taken by Dineora.
