Louisette: a website that matches a flowery Paris brasserie

In Porte-Saint-Martin, Louisette blends French and Italian cooking in a pink, flowery, copper-toned setting. Dineora designed a website that brings visitors into that world from the very first screen, then leads them straight to the menu, takeout ordering and booking.

A Parisian brasserie with real character

Louisette is a brasserie in the tenth arrondissement, a short walk from the Porte Saint-Martin. Its menu runs from breakfast to evening cocktails: pastries in the morning, lunch sets, brunch, tapas and sharing boards, salads, meat, fish, pasta, pizzas and burgers, then desserts, champagnes and signature cocktails.

The place has a strong personality: a covered terrace full of pink flowers, striped awnings, sage-green shutters, bistro armchairs and a medallion logo, the portrait of a woman with glasses. The website had to do justice to that character without losing sight of what matters most: that people quickly find the menu, ordering and booking.

The challenge: letting people feel the atmosphere before their first visit

Before walking into a restaurant, people want to know what the dining room looks like, what they will eat and how to book. For Louisette, the goal was to convey the charm of a flowery brasserie while keeping a website that is simple to browse, on a phone as well as on a computer.

The website therefore plays three roles: making people want to come in from the moment it opens, presenting a very complete menu in a readable way, and keeping booking and ordering visible at all times, thanks to two buttons at the top of the screen.

An art direction drawn from the place itself

The palette echoes the restaurant: powder pink and terracotta, sage green, copper highlights. The visuals were composed for Louisette: the lamb shank set in a heart of hammered copper petals, the terrace under the flowers, a flowering tree in the middle of a dining room with pink banquettes.

The headings are set in a typeface drawn from the letters of the Louisette logo: the restaurant name and the large headings of the website speak the same graphic language as the sign. The Réservation and Commander buttons are painted too, framed with flowers and gilding, to stay within the world of the place.

A home page that unfolds like a film

On a computer, the home page unfolds as you scroll: each gesture moves forward a sequence of images, from the plate to the terrace, then to the dining room. Short panels accompany the journey, such as the one on the lamb shank, slow-cooked until it melts under the fork, or the invitation to settle on the terrace with friends.

Rather than a catalog of dishes, the page tells the story of an evening at Louisette. The texts stay short and let the setting speak.

An online menu for takeout ordering

The “Commander” page presents Louisette's whole menu on an illustrated backdrop of blue canvas, fleurs-de-lis and scrollwork, with old-style cards for each category: morning, brunch, starters, pasta, pizzas, burgers, desserts, drinks. Each dish appears with its visual, its description and its price.

Customers pick their dishes, add them to the basket, then send their order to collect it at the restaurant. The basket bar stays visible at the bottom of the screen the whole time they read the menu.

Booking a table on a single screen

The “Réservation” button opens a form painted in Louisette's colors: a pink card with gilded corners, titled “Réservations”. It fits on a single screen and asks for the essentials: full name, email, phone, date, time, number of guests and a special request.

The request goes to the restaurant itself, without passing through a third-party booking platform, and the form keeps the same style as the rest of the website.

Designed for the phone as much as for the computer

On a phone, the home page is recomposed vertically: the logo, the heading and the dish stay legible, the two buttons remain at the top of the screen, and the story panels stack naturally. The booking form switches to a single column, and the “Commander” page keeps its illustrated cards with the basket bar always within reach.

A website prepared for local searches

The website is built around what people really look for near Porte-Saint-Martin: a brasserie, an Italian or French restaurant in the tenth arrondissement, a burger, pasta, a brunch or a cocktail bar. The page title, its description, its texts and its structured data present Louisette, its neighborhood, its cooking and its menu clearly, for visitors and search engines alike.

A detailed presentation page complements the home page, and the full menu can be read as text on the “Commander” page. Nobody can promise a spot in Google: the work consists of giving search engines accurate, structured and consistent information.

A website for a Parisian brasserie near Porte Saint-Martin

A Parisian brasserie changes face during the day: coffee and a pastry first thing, a slate and set lunches at noon, brunch, sharing boards in the afternoon, pizzas, burgers and signature cocktails at night. A brasserie website in Paris must present each of these moments without mixing the menus, accept takeaway orders at lunch and let guests book for the evening.

  • A bistro owner’s invoice: no agency quote to cover two hundred and sixty dishes, and no percentage kept from the lunch set taken away.
  • Ready in an espresso’s time: give the brasserie’s name, and the whole menu, its images and its ordering page fall into place.
  • The terrace in portrait form: powder pink, terracotta, sage green, copper glints, pink flowers, brush-painted buttons with gilding.
  • A slate that rewrites itself: does the weekday dish of the day change? The owner swaps it from a phone, without writing to an agency.
  • No relay between dining room and guest: bookings and takeaway orders go straight to Louisette.
  • From Boulevard Saint-Denis to Rabat or Sydney: the software also equips brasseries abroad, in each place’s language and currency.

For a brasserie in Paris’s tenth arrondissement, that is a site that looks like its flowered terrace and follows the day, from the first coffee to the last cocktail.

The outcome: a showcase that extends the place

Louisette's website does not look like a catalog of dishes. It takes up the setting, the colors and the tone of the brasserie, and keeps the two actions that matter within reach: booking a table and ordering takeout. That is the ambition of every website designed by Dineora: a website that reflects the restaurant, with its menu, its orders and its bookings.

Questions about this project

Who designed the Louisette website?

The Louisette website was designed by Dineora: art direction, home page, online menu, takeout ordering page and booking form.

Can you book a table at Louisette on its website?

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

Can you order takeout from Louisette online?

Yes. The “Commander” page presents the whole menu: you add your dishes to the basket, then send the order to collect it at the restaurant.

How do you present a brasserie that serves from morning to night on one website?

By splitting the menu into moments of the day: morning, lunch, brunch, evening, drinks. Dineora builds it from the brasserie’s name, then the owner adjusts it personally.

Can a brasserie change its dish of the day every morning without a contractor?

Yes. The owner edits the dish, its price and its description directly, and the site shows the new slate right away.
