Chateau Liban

01 — The brief

Chateau Liban is an authentic Lebanese restaurant in Sundbyberg we admire — open since 1996 and widely credited as Sweden's first restaurant built around Lebanese cuisine. Their existing site couldn't carry thirty years of Nemer Ibrahim's story, make bookings easy, or give event and catering inquiries a proper home. We rebuilt the surface on our own time to see what the restaurant would look like with the layout it deserves.

02 — The approach

1. 01

   Atmosphere before operations

   The fold is a full-bleed dining photograph, a 'Sedan 1996' heritage line, and one sentence on what the restaurant is. Book a table and explore the menu sit one scroll below — visible on mobile, never shouting on desktop. The site reads as a place you'd want to sit down in, not a portal you'd tolerate.

2. 02

   Heritage as credibility, not filler

   Nemer's story — first restaurant in 1986, Chateau Liban in 1996, three decades of Lebanese cooking in Sweden — gets a dedicated about section with real copy, not a stock-photo paragraph. For a restaurant with this much history, the biography is the conversion driver.

3. 03

   Three offers, three doors

   Meze, charcoal-grilled skewers, and event catering each get their own surfaced block with distinct copy. Catering and larger parties aren't buried in a contact form — group bookings and the 10% tasting-menu discount for parties of eight or more are called out explicitly.

4. 04

   Booking as the primary action everywhere

   'Boka bord' appears in the header, the hero, the group-booking strip, and the footer — with online booking and a click-to-call fallback for guests who'd rather talk to the host. Opening hours and the Sundbyberg address stay in the footer on every page.
