Bring the essentials
- Restaurant name
- Sections
- Dish names and prices
Choose a visual direction and adapt the description before generating. Turn on optional design refinement if you want help with composition, colors or layout. Keep your facts and exact wording in the brief.
Decide the reading order
Lead with the restaurant name, separate starters, mains and desserts, and align each price with its dish. A few generous sections usually read more clearly than many decorative boxes. The Olive & Ember example uses six items so that the typography has room to breathe.
Keep the menu facts fixed
Supply the exact item names, prices, currency and any dietary wording you have verified. Describe the style separately. A change from ivory to charcoal should change the artwork, not add an ingredient, remove a dish or revise a price.

Olive & Ember restaurant menu
Original AI-generated example.
See the exact prompt
Create a finished restaurant menu image, one flat vertical 2:3 artwork, not a mockup. Fictional brand: OLIVE & EMBER. Make a beautifully art-directed, readable neighborhood Mediterranean restaurant menu: warm ivory background, dark aubergine large elegant title, restrained terracotta rules, three distinct menu sections in a generous two-column grid, prices aligned on the right. Small appetizing editorial illustrations of a roasted tomato plate and a citrus glass, entirely original. The feeling is contemporary independent restaurant, not a corporate template. Let whitespace and typographic scale do the work. Include exactly this text, with no added facts or filler: 'OLIVE & EMBER', 'THE EVENING MENU', 'SMALL PLATES', 'Whipped Feta $8', 'Roasted Tomatoes $9', 'FROM THE KITCHEN', 'Lemon Herb Chicken $19', 'Wild Mushroom Orzo $17', 'SOMETHING SWEET', 'Orange Olive Oil Cake $7', 'Dark Chocolate Mousse $8'. All six dish names and prices must be easy to read, with exact spelling and one-to-one alignment. No dates, address, invented ingredients, dietary labels, endorsements, signature, logos from other brands, watermarks or paper shadows. Show the actual flat final menu edge to edge. This is an original fictional design sample for BriefPic, do not write BriefPic inside the artwork.
A few useful answers
Can I make a menu template?
You can create a menu image and reuse its prompt with a different item list. The result is a raster image, rather than a Word, PSD or drag-and-drop template.
How should I prepare a long menu?
Group and shorten the approved copy first. Use separate pages when the full list would make the dish names too small.
