8 restaurant identities that put the fine in fine dining, featuring Saint-Urbain, Dennis and more

Having reflected on some of our favourite coffee and museum brands, we felt it was time to head to the main course. This time, we’ve highlighted some eye-catching identities that have elevated restaurants to the next level. Drawing from all sources of inspiration, the studios have cleverly woven in references to the location, the architecture, and certainly, the food itself. Filled to the brim with charm and personality, we hope you enjoy them. Located in the Mallorcan historical fishing district of El Molinar is Periplo Portixol, a seafood restaurant that promises an excellent dining experience. Its identity, devised by Palma de Mallorca-based designer Enrique Presa, expresses the nautical themes of both the cuisine and the heritage of the region. The identity system was built around a custom-made stencil typeface, based on templates that were used for marking fishing boats and goods boxes. With GT Pressura Mono as the initial starting point, the finished typeface features on wooden menu covers, carved to highlight the stencil details. An elemental and nature-inspired colour palette unifies the nautical look. Periplo by Enrique Presa
