Moules Frites Chez Eric: a website in the Ajaccio sun, between pots of mussels and a terrace

In Bodiccione, a district of Ajaccio, Moules Frites Chez Eric serves pots of mussels, fried seafood and homemade fries. Dineora designed a bright, straightforward website that conveys the terrace in the sun, tells the story of the menu as you scroll, and keeps takeaway ordering and table booking within easy reach.

A mussels and fries address in Ajaccio

Moules Frites Chez Eric is a fast-food address in Ajaccio, in the Bodiccione district, entirely turned toward the sea. Its menu is short and clear: mussels, seafood plates, trays of homemade fries, children’s menus, desserts and drinks.

The Spanish mussels come in many versions: marinière, in cream, in curry cream, in Roquefort cream or Andalusian-style, always with homemade fries, and there is also a Moules box. The seafood plates bring together the frito misto, a mix of fried seafood, wild prawns, squid fritters and onion rings; for those who do not take mussels, there are also chicken nuggets or tenders and a fish and chips. The Nutella waffle closes the meal, and the drinks list runs from sodas to Orezza.

The challenge: giving a taste of a terrace in the sun

People choose a mussels and fries address for a simple moment: a steaming pot, crispy fries, a table outside. For Moules Frites Chez Eric, the goal was to convey that direct pleasure, with the light of Ajaccio, its olive trees and its parasols, without complicating the journey.

The short, readable menu lent itself to a frank presentation: a few mussel recipes, a few seafood plates, something to please the children and a sweet note to finish. The website had to stage it, then let the visitor take action in a single move: prepare a takeaway order or book a table. The two buttons therefore stay at the top of the screen for the whole visit.

Navy blue, lemon yellow and terrace chairs

The palette is that of a terrace in high summer: the navy blue of the panels, the lemon yellow of the taglines, the red of the chairs and trays, the tangy green of the parasols. The visuals were composed for Moules Frites Chez Eric: grilled prawns, tomato and lemon wedges swirling above a perforated metal table; a pot of mussels in cream, sprinkled with parsley, beneath a zester that rains lemon; a red tray loaded with mussels and fries; a terrace planted with olive trees in the golden evening light.

The headings are set in a round, bold sans serif, in white and bright yellow, with the energy of a seaside poster. The Réservation and Commander buttons are painted in the world of the place: cream cartouches with navy blue lettering, framed by mussels, shells and lemons.

A home page that moves like a film

On a computer as on a phone, the home page is a film that moves forward as you scroll. It opens on the logo, a pot of mussels and a basket of fries above a wooden sign, and on a line that sets the tone: “À Ajaccio, place aux saveurs de la mer !”. Just below, the invitation: “Gambas, frito misto, beignets de calamars… Venez vous régaler !”, while the prawns fly up above their plate.

Each scroll then moves the story along, from the terrace to the pots of mussels: a lemon zest falls onto a pot in cream, thumbnails zoom in on the dish, then comes the tagline “Le duo gagnant !”, above thumbnails of mussels. Navy blue panels then present a few dishes, such as “Moules à la crème”, a kilo of Spanish mussels, before ending on a waffle, under the title “Pour finir”.

A menu between fishing harbor and shellfish

The ordering page sets the menu in a setting painted in midnight blue: a medallion adorned with a scallop shell, scrolls of mussels and parsley, lemons, fishing nets, and, on each side, a harbor with blue and white fishing boats beneath a hilltop town. Steaming pots and paper cones of fries line the page.

Each section is read on a cream-colored card crowned with a shell, from mussels to drinks. Each dish appears with its visual, its name, its price and a round button to add it to the basket; a small arrow unfolds its description. A bar at the top of the screen gives access to every section. The customer builds the order, then sends it to pick it up at the restaurant; the navy blue basket bar stays visible at the bottom of the screen.

Booking on a slate framed in wood

The Réservation button opens a window painted like a bistro slate: a fir-green panel with golden flourishes, in a weathered wooden frame. The title “Réservations” stands out in large cream capitals, above the name Moules Frites Chez Eric.

The form fits on a single screen and asks for the essentials: full name, phone, e-mail, date, time, number of guests and special request. The fields are simple cream cartouches ringed in yellow, and the request is sent from a button painted with the same setting of mussels and lemons as those on the home page.

On a phone, the film and the two buttons

On a phone, the film is recomposed in portrait: the logo and the big opening line fill the screen, the prawns take up the full width, and the Réserver and Commander buttons stay lined up at the top throughout the scroll. The dishes, from the pot of mussels to the waffle, are shown large against a terrace background.

The booking form switches to a single column, in the same wooden frame. On the ordering page, each card takes up the full width, the section bar scrolls along at the top of the screen and the basket bar stays accessible at the bottom.

A website prepared for local searches

The website is built around what people look for in Ajaccio: mussels and fries, mussels, a mussel restaurant, a restaurant or a fast-food address in the city or in Bodiccione, or Moules Frites Chez Eric and its menu directly. The page title, its description, its texts and its structured data present the restaurant, its district, its cuisine and its menu clearly.

A detailed presentation page complements the home page, and the complete menu, from mussels to drinks, can be read as text on the ordering page. Nobody can promise a spot in Google: the work consists of giving search engines accurate, structured and consistent information.

A website for a moules-frites restaurant in Ajaccio: pots, fried seafood and takeaway

A moules-frites restaurant runs on six clear sections: mussels marinière, in cream or with curry, seafood plates with frito misto and prawns, homemade chip cartons, kids’ menus, waffles. The website of a mussels and chips restaurant in Ajaccio has to make holidaymakers and regulars hungry within seconds, take takeaway orders and keep a terrace table to book. What Dineora makes available:

  • Without an agency’s bill. Far cheaper than a site built on quote, and every carton sold is sold commission-free.
  • Plated before the aperitif. The name of the restaurant is enough: menu, images and order page come together in a few minutes.
  • Navy and lemon yellow. A midsummer terrace, red chairs, acid-green parasols, olive trees: the light of the place, not a ready-made theme.
  • A menu the boss corrects personally. Once the site exists, the owner opens it and changes the dish of the day, the spotlight on the mussels or the price of the waffles.
  • From pot to customer, direct. Takeaway orders and bookings arrive at the restaurant with no agency and no delivery platform in between.
  • Ajaccio, Lausanne, Sydney. The software also serves restaurants in Rabat and London; it speaks several languages, handy when the season brings tourists.

For a moules-frites restaurant in Ajaccio, it is a site that smells of lemon and sea, with the menu, takeaway ordering and booking under the thumb.

The result: the sea, the sun and a pot of mussels

The Moules Frites Chez Eric website has the simplicity of its menu: bold colors, dishes shown large, a terrace in the sun. It keeps the two gestures that matter within reach: ordering takeaway and booking a table.

Questions about this project

Who designed the Moules Frites Chez Eric website?

The Moules Frites Chez Eric website was designed by Dineora: art direction, home page as a film, online menu, takeaway ordering page and booking form.

Can you order takeaway from Moules Frites Chez Eric online?

Yes. The ordering page presents the whole menu: you add your dishes to the basket, then send the order to pick it up at the restaurant.

Can you book a table at Moules Frites Chez Eric on its website?

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

How can a mussels and chips restaurant sell takeaway without going through an app?

The restaurant’s own site receives the takeaway orders itself, down to each pot and carton. No app steps in and Dineora takes no commission.

Is a multilingual website worth it for a seaside restaurant that welcomes holidaymakers?

Yes, when the passing trade comes from afar. Dineora’s sites speak several languages and the owner keeps control of the menu, so it can be adjusted from one season to the next.
