Bento serves fresh, simple Asian food on two of Edinburgh’s busiest streets. The brief was to make sure nobody walked past.

In Stockbridge, strong contrast and a confident palette turned the shopfront into a footfall magnet. South Bridge was bigger and dual-aspect, so we went darker and more playful, with booth seating and clear zoning between dine-in and takeaway.

Bold wayfinding ties it together without the two sites looking like copies.

Two sites. One family. Each with its own personality.
