Why the studio exists

We know the kitchen as well as the brand.

Not only the storytelling around food. Not only the culinary production. Both.

Élise worked in marketing, communication and events before training as a cook and working in demanding kitchens. The studio brings the two together: think like a creative, understand like a strategist, make like someone who knows the kitchen from the inside.

What we do

From the idea
to the plate.

Food concepts

New restaurants, cafés, corners and pop-ups. What you serve, to whom, and why it should exist.

Menu development

Writing, editing and testing menus that are clear, coherent and good to cook.

Offer development

Formats, pricing logic and moments of the day that make the offer work.

Culinary direction

A culinary identity for a place or a brand, and the recipes that carry it.

Food branding & creative direction

Naming, tone, visual direction, tableware and photography around food.

Guest experience & activation

What happens around the plate: service, rituals, events and brand activations.

Your menu doesn't need therapy. It needs editing.

A long menu is hard to cook and hard to choose from.

We look at your menu, your kitchen and your team. We keep what makes your place yours, and help you let go of the rest.

Why Lindo

Not another creative food agency.

Kitchen + brand thinking

We know the ground of the kitchen as well as the ground of the brand.

What happens around food

The table, the space, the objects, the people, the service, the atmosphere.

We think and we make

From the idea to its execution. From the concept to the service.

Our own culture

Dinner Series, curation, collaborations. Lindo lives beyond client work.

Let's talk

Got a table, a brand or an idea? We're listening.

A private dinner, a launch, a menu that needs editing, a restaurant that needs a point of view. Tell us a little, and we'll come back to you within two working days.

Who is coming? Where are we?
Why are we gathering?
