Restaurant Totaime: the spirit of a neighborhood brasserie in Drancy, from the terrace to Sunday brunch

In Drancy, in the Paris Campagne district, Restaurant Totaime serves French brasserie cooking under a pink awning. Dineora designed a website that opens on its sunny terrace, leads visitors into the dining room as they scroll, then guides them to a very complete menu, takeout ordering and table booking.

A French brasserie in Drancy

Restaurant Totaime is a brasserie in Drancy, in the Paris Campagne district, whose sign reads “To’taime” on a pink awning. Its cooking is French and rich in choices: eggs with mayonnaise, oven-roasted camembert or an authentic salad with walnuts and pomegranate molasses to start; chicken escalope Milanese-style, pasta with salmon or shrimp, or the To’taime gourmand, baked with ground beef, seasonal vegetables, melting cheese, house tomato sauce and rice. A butcher’s corner, burgers, a cod fillet on house mashed potatoes and salads complete the menu.

The menu follows every moment of the brasserie: a children’s menu, called the superhero menu, a Sunday brunch, cheese and charcuterie sharing boards, cocktails with or without alcohol, house refreshers such as iced tea, beers, wines and champagnes.

The challenge: a real brasserie menu, readable in an instant

With twenty-four sections, from set menus to champagnes, the Restaurant Totaime menu is that of a real brasserie: you can have lunch with the family, enjoy brunch on Sunday, have a drink around a board or dine on a burger. The challenge: make it easy to browse without cutting it down.

The website also had to convey the welcome promised by the sign, that of a house where guests are received “comme des habitués”: a sunny terrace, a warm dining room, plates that make you hungry. And it had to keep two actions within reach: booking a table and ordering takeout.

Pink, burgundy and gilding

The palette takes its colors from the place: the pink of the awning, the deep burgundy of the panels, the cream of the texts and the gold of the frames. The visuals show the façade under bright sun, with its terrace of cane chairs, then two dining room moods: a bar with blue-lit shelves, yellow velvet armchairs and the restaurant’s name in neon on a living wall; a bistro dining room with red leather banquettes, marble tables and a striped awning. In the foreground come the plates: a lamb shank on its mashed potatoes, goat cheese toasts with honey and walnuts, a breaded escalope covered in tomato sauce and topped with an egg.

The headings are set in a large serif typeface, elegant and contrasted. The buttons are painted in the world of the brasserie: Réservation on a dark plaque with gold lettering, with a red checkered tablecloth, a pepper mill and a glass of wine; Commander with a copper pot and a head of garlic. On the menu, each dish is added with a small burgundy banner stamped with a golden plus.

A home page that moves like a film

The home page is a film that advances as visitors scroll. It opens at the foot of the façade, in full sun, under the pink awning and the title “Votre brasserie à Drancy”, with a promise: “Du déjeuner au brunch du dimanche, on vous reçoit comme des habitués.” With each gesture, the image draws closer to the terrace, then enters the dining room, where a lamb shank waits in the foreground, in front of the bar and the restaurant’s neon.

The story then moves to the table, dish by dish. The burgundy panels open the meal with “En entrée” and “Chèvre, miel et noix”, with goat cheese toasts with honey set on the salad, then the chicken escalope in tomato sauce takes over. The two buttons, Réservation and Commander, stay at the top right of the screen throughout the journey.

An online menu for takeout ordering

The ordering page unrolls the menu on a backdrop of brown-red velvet, decorated with gold and green acanthus scrolls and an antique medallion. At the edges, plates make up a festive table. Each section fits on a cream card edged in gold, and a golden fork separates the cards. A bar at the top of the screen leads straight to the sections: set menus, starters, main courses, the butcher’s corner, burgers, fish, salads, sharing boards, desserts, ice creams and drinks.

Each dish appears there with its name and its price, often with its visual or a short description. Customers add their dishes to the basket, then send the order to pick it up at the restaurant. On a smartphone, the basket bar, carved like a wooden molding, stays visible at the bottom of the screen throughout.

Booking a table on a single screen

The Réservation button opens a form that takes the look of a brasserie plaque: a dark, patinated background, a bronze frame with ornate corners, the title “Réservations” in gold letters and the restaurant’s name just below. It fits on a single screen and asks for the essentials: full name, telephone number, e-mail, date, time, number of guests and special request.

The submit button is painted like the others on the site, with its checkered tablecloth, its pepper mill and its glass of wine. On a smartphone, the fields switch to a single column.

Designed for the smartphone as much as for the computer

On a smartphone, the film is recomposed in portrait: the To’taime logo in its golden frame, then the title “Votre brasserie à Drancy” in very large letters, on a blue sky crossed by foliage. The two buttons, now Réserver and Commander, stay side by side at the top of the screen. Lower down, each dish takes the full width, followed by its burgundy panel.

The ordering page keeps its velvet and its gilding: the cards switch to one column, the section bar scrolls at the top of the screen, and the basket stays anchored at the bottom, from the set menus to the last sections.

A website prepared for searches in Drancy

The website is built around what people really look for around Paris Campagne: a restaurant or a brasserie in Drancy, a French restaurant, an address near the district, a brasserie with a terrace, a Sunday brunch, an escalope at a restaurant, or the Restaurant Totaime 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 full menu can be read as text on the ordering page. No one can promise a spot in Google: the work consists of giving search engines accurate, structured and consistent information.

A website for a French brasserie in Drancy: full menu, bookings and takeaway dishes

A French brasserie has two faces: the family lunch or Sunday brunch, and the drink around a sharing board. Its menu, from set menus to champagne by way of the butcher’s corner, the burgers and the children’s menu, runs to some twenty sections. A brasserie website has to sort it without thinning it out and give two gestures, booking a table or ordering dishes to take away. That is what a restaurant in Drancy can expect from its site.

Budget first: no agency quote to build a menu this long, and no commission held back on takeaway dishes. Time next: the restaurant’s name is enough to start the menu, visuals and ordering pages, ready within minutes. Tailoring last: the pink awning, the burgundy panels and the gilded velvet, instead of a generic backdrop.

The owner sees the site from the moment it exists, corrects an escalope, a dessert price or Sunday’s hours personally, and guests write straight to the house, with no booking platform or agency between them. The same software serves brasseries from Drancy to Brussels, Lausanne or Montreal, in each room’s language and currency.

For a brasserie in Drancy and the Paris suburbs, that is a welcome “as if you were a regular”, already on the screen.

The result: a brasserie that already welcomes guests online

The Restaurant Totaime website looks like its brasserie: the pink awning, the terrace, the velvet and the gilding, a rich menu presented in an orderly way. Booking a table and ordering takeout stay one gesture away. This is the ambition of every website designed by Dineora: to extend a restaurant’s welcome to the screens of those about to visit.

Questions about this project

Who designed the Restaurant Totaime website?

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

Can you book a table at Restaurant Totaime on its website?

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

Can you order takeout from Restaurant Totaime online?

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

How can a brasserie take bookings without going through a platform?

A Book button opens a form on the brasserie’s own site, and the request lands directly with the restaurant. There is no platform and no commission.

What kind of website suits a brasserie whose menu has more than twenty sections?

One that sorts set menus, mains, burgers, boards and drinks into sections reachable at a swipe, built from the restaurant’s name alone. The owner can then change everything personally.
