Nordvik | Fine dining restaurant website

Nordvik is a concept site for a twenty-four-seat restaurant on the Norwegian coast whose menu changes every week. That constraint became the whole design: if the menu cannot be printed, the site has to be the menu.

The type does the work. A large serif display face, generous negative space and a warm brass accent on near-black carry the tone that photography usually has to carry — which matters, because a restaurant that reprints its menu weekly cannot reshoot its dishes weekly either. Every image on the page is hand-drawn SVG built from the brand palette, so nothing has to be replaced when the courses change.

The menu itself is tabbed — tasting, cellar pairing and a fully plant-based run — and rendered from a small data structure, so a new week is a data edit rather than a layout edit. There is also a reservation form with real validation, a sticky navigation that condenses on scroll, and scroll-reveal animation that switches itself off for anyone who prefers reduced motion.
