Why does this template strictly use red and gold?

Red and gold are culturally significant colors in Chinese tradition representing good fortune, joy, and prosperity, making them essential for an authentic fine dining atmosphere.

Is the Cinzel font legible for long descriptions?

Cinzel is used primarily for headers to provide stylistic flair; the template switches to the sans-serif Lato font for body text to ensure descriptions are easy to read.

What paper stock do you recommend for the Imperial Palace design?

Due to the rich colors and formal nature, we recommend a heavy, textured cream cardstock or a silk-coated paper to enhance the premium feel.

Can I add photos of dishes to this template?

While the design focuses on elegant typography and traditional patterns, there is space to incorporate high-quality vignettes of signature dishes if desired.

Is this template suitable for a modern fusion restaurant?

Yes, while the motifs are traditional, the clean lines of the Lato font and the crisp layout allow it to work well for modern establishments respecting their heritage.
