Who the Beirut template is for
- Lebanese and Syrian grills
- Long mezze lists
- Family restaurants
- Manakish and shawarma with seating
Why it looks the way it does
A Levantine menu is long. Thirty cold and hot mezze before anyone reaches the grill section is normal, and in a single column that turns into a wall of text. Beirut sets dishes two across in framed cards, so a big section stays scannable. Prices sit right after the dish name, section headings are boxed, and the page is warmed with a cream ground, a terracotta accent and a patterned tile strip. The headings are in Fraunces, a soft, generous serif that suits food meant for sharing.
Arabic and English on the same menu
Tajawal handles the Arabic: a clean, modern face that stays legible inside a small card, where a more decorative Arabic font would crowd the space.
Sizes to print it in
Two A4 pages work well, mezze on one and grills and platters on the other. The trifold makes a good delivery menu. Every template exports as a print-ready PDF at exact size with 3 mm bleed and crop marks. The menu printing guide lists the specs your print shop will ask for, and menu sizes for printing compares the formats.
The same menu as a QR code
Publish a menu made with Beirut and it also becomes a QR code menu that keeps these colours and headings on a phone, with an Arabic and English switch and WhatsApp ordering. How the QR menu works.
