About NOIR
NOIR is a website for restaurants that are more evening than meal. It opens on a plated dish in warm candlelight that the camera slowly moves towards, the restaurant’s name set in high-contrast serif above it, and moves through the evening in six scenes: philosophy, tasting menus, the art of the table, reservations and a final candlelit table.
What your website includes
- Tasting menusMenus that open to full course lists with dietary labels and allergens, and can be marked available or unavailable.
- Reservation formDate, seating time, party size, dietary requirements, special requests and a confirmation screen.
- Three ways to take bookingsRequests by email (Formspree or Netlify Forms), your booking platform (OpenTable, Resy, Tock, SevenRooms) or your own system with live availability.
