Sometimes a beautiful menu is all I need for inspiration. Here's a great example of something both aesthetically pleasing while being chock-full of great, simple dishes. This classic LA institution has a great site and menu which give you a sense of how much they love what they do. Plus, that burger IS pretty damn good.

Has a menu ever inspired you? We'd love to hear about it--post links and stories in the comments.

Have a great weekend.

Beautiful comfort food.  I love sliders.

Not exactly beautiful, but Barney's Beanery haz probably one of the most memorable menus I've ever seen. It'z like a full-length newspaper...good timez.
Truly beautiful menus are a rare find, especially in São Paulo (Brazil), I guess the restaurant business just hasn't matured to that point here yet.

Being a graphic designer, I am rather picky about aesthetics and though I don't find the menu particularly beautiful I think it's very apropriate with the overall concept of the restaurant and THAT is the most important aspect of a design project. It's useless to spend money on a beautiful menu project if it doesn't speak the same language as your food.

Cheers ^.~
