Modern Western Restaurant Menu Image Prompt Template

Objective: Build a reusable image prompt that generates one clean, print-ready portrait menu for a modern western restaurant, with a prominent restaurant title, one large featured dish at the top right, three smaller dishes in a bottom row, and a structured text-only list for the remaining items.

The base prompt is formed from the original brief by breaking a crowded design request into controllable parts.

• Lock the canvas first: portrait orientation and a 3:4 ratio so the layout stays editorial and balanced.
• Separate branding from food so the restaurant name stays the hero at the top and never competes with dish photos.
• Split pictured dishes from text-only dishes so the model always places exactly four photos and never invents extra plates.
• Keep every pictured item as image + name + price, and every list item as name + short description + price.
• Encode typography, color, paper texture, and negative space as style rules so the result looks like a premium printed menu, not a flyer.
• Turn restaurant-specific copy into variables and reusable snippets so the same structure can be reused for another brand or seasonal menu.
