Restaurant Bistro
Tansy is a fictional 38-seat dining room in the fictional harbour town of Porthmere: a menu written at four each afternoon after the boats come in, a zinc counter, and a phone number you ring before six. The concept owns the hospitality register — candlelit warm cream, deep umber ink, one burnt-copper accent, and headlines set in a menu serif — across five pages: Home, Menu, Private dining, Our story, and Find us, with the reservation as the one action everything points at. Composed entirely from blocks in the open registry.

Every page in the concept
Restaurant Bistro spans 5 pages. Each poster opens that page in the raw full preview — the same route the live frame above renders.
HomePreviewThe room, tonight’s cooking, and the phone number — everything a first-time guest needs to decide to ring before six.
MenuPreviewTonight’s cooking in full — starters as written type, what the fire gets, what the set menus hold — and the kitchen’s honest small print.
Private diningPreviewThe Long Room upstairs — how a private night runs, what the table can hold, and the two ways to take the room.
Our storyPreviewTen years of the same idea — the people who cook and run the room, and the nine suppliers the menu is written around.
Find usPreviewWhere the room is, when the kitchen cooks, and every way to reach Joan — with the booking form for anything the phone cannot catch.Recipe

Direction
Candlelit warm cream and deep umber ink with one burnt-copper accent — the low light lives in the token-painted plates and one night band per page, the type is a generous menu serif, and the rhythm is a room that runs one sitting a night.

This is a browsable full-site concept. Every section is composed from blocks in the open registry, and one command installs the whole block set — the curated copy shown here is not seeded, so you assemble the pages yourself in the admin.

Templates are decided in the open
These concepts exist to answer one question with the community: should full-site templates become installable? The recipes, the fictional brands, and the installer RFC all live in the public repository — nothing gated, no email capture.
