Critique is a bad word, lets say it’s a little feedback. The purpose of this showcase is to show how restaurants, by there design, impact there audience. And I tried to find websites from every region of the world that have “something to say”. Even if, compared with the other websites, cafe rouge hasn’t got that charisma, it is a restaurant that has something to say.

ps: searching for the 50 best restaurants of the world, you will see that only 5 or maybe 8, at list, have a decent website design.

it’s true, flash not being able to be found/crawled by search engines is a downer, but still, this is a showcase about the design.I was interested in there visual approach and impact .but if you take a look at it design and impact, imagine what a good marketing plan could do with this little baby. when your target market is regional or national, it doesn’t really matter if people can;t find you online, especially when a viral champagne can do the job for you. people forget that websites are touchpoints, and not every time you get from one point to another thrum a straight line.

Moona.jp: Flash-based websites are DEATH for restaurants. When do people want to find a restaurant? When they’re on the road. Walking about town. When they’re using their smartphones, half of which don’t support flash. The same is true of La Maison Bisson

The Giraffe: Hover is another weakspot for restaurants that want impulse visitors, again because it’s not supported in smartphones.

Otherwise a pretty collection. And nobody would care if McDonald’s was anything but garish, because McDonald’s isn’t food, it’s barely human fuel.

Great collection but…

Really not one to criticise other’s work (as people have done that enough to us) but really can’t see why Cafe Rouge made the list?

Doesn’t inspire really, their map is all screwed up (with Milton Keynes in the middle of the sea), slow-to-load Flash used at the top to no real benefit etc etc.

Maybe I missed the point here, but there are so many inspirational sites that it seems a shame to put this one on the list.

I was doing a website for a restaurant recently and was looking for a showcase just like this one, and couldn’t find it!! Thanks for the inspiration!
