Shakespeare and Co. was established with the simple premise of serving quality food and providing friendly and efficient service in a comfortable, tranquil atmosphere. From the very first restaurant in 2001 to currently 27 company-owned and operated outlets in the United Arab Emirates and franchises in Lebanon, Jordan, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Egypt and the United States. Shakespeare and Co. restaurants have become iconic and beloved for staying true to the philosophies upon which the company was founded. The design and décor of the restaurants are inspired by the hallmarks of a bygone era – 18th Century Europe, a period when elegance, luxury, and exquisite attention to detail was de rigeur. From plush upholstery encased with antique frames to intricate chandeliers and vintage centerpieces, each restaurant is a classically majestic, awe-inspiring union of colour, fabric and textures that create a truly extraordinary environment that oozes comfort and encourages great conversation. The menu comprises classic dishes from the world’s favorite cuisines – in essence, reflecting the rich diversity of the patrons who visit their restaurants. The brief was to design a modern website, focusing on the menu, but keeping the interior design of the restaurants subtly visible throughout the site.
