DESIGN TIPS
Four practical decisions that turn a list of dishes into a menu that drives orders.
TIP 01
Split your French menu into recognizable sections such as starters, mains, sides, and desserts. Clear categories help guests scan quickly and reduce decision fatigue at the table.
TIP 02
Mix entry-level dishes, mid-range crowd favorites, and a few premium specialties. Tiered pricing on a French menu lifts average ticket size and frames your signature plates as the obvious choice.
TIP 03
Authentic photos of your signature French dishes outperform stock images on every metric: time on page, scan-to-order, and repeat visits. Shoot a handful of bestsellers in natural light before launch.
TIP 04
Pair each dish with one short, sensory sentence. Mention key ingredients, cooking method, and origin where it matters. Bistro’s AI assistant can draft these for your whole French menu in minutes.
