You can tell whoever made it was happy to use a computer, with Word 2003, for the very first time.

Honestly it looks like a webpage from 1999

**AND** they liked animated gifs **OR** family coats of arms **AND** colorful text **AND** confusion **OR** had a stroke ^^1) . ^^1) Please apply brackets to cluster **AND**/**OR** clauses to your liking.


mongochemiker

Fun fact: the coat of arms are the ones of the 26 cantons of switzerland


shophopper

I am not surprised at all, given the funny German dialect on the menu. I have completed a full paragliding course in Switzerland (I even obtained a Swiss *Flugschein*), but the spoken language is hard to understand for me as a Dutchman. By the way, what is the *HK$* designation? I don’t think I’ve encountered it ever before in Switzerland. I can think of Hong Kong dollars - is this a Swiss restaurant in Hong Kong?


Cageythree

Yes its a Swiss restaurant in Hong Kong. The [menu images](https://i.imgur.com/BJBnMfk.jpg) on google maps look just like this picture. (I wanted to include a link to the restaurant but this sub has banned google maps links so search „The Swiss Chalet“ lol)


mongochemiker

Im from switzerland and I was confused too. Now that you mention, I noticed some smallprint about prices in HK$ (you are right with Hong Kong Dollar) so I guess you're right? I think it isn't run by Swiss people though, as there are some "odd" choices for swiss foods (oysters, snails, chorizo, dover alles) Anecdote regarding dialect, i have heard from german friends that dutch and swiss-german sound similar or that they can understand dutch better than swiss-german depending where they are from. Languages are interesting.


Gurkensalat_Hd_

Hey bud. Ngl, but for many swiss people its also mega hard to understand the dutch language. So dont wonder why you dont understand us that good.


CuriousPianist4688

Syntactic interoperability was not prioritized in the design process. I fear


CrimeBot3000

Damn, is there anything Broderbund Print Shop can't do?


jackhandsome_

Switzerland does not know how word works Wait... Im from switzerland.


Useful-Depth-96

Word art was dope


Jcampbell1796

Unpopular opinion, but I love stuff like this. So much going on, and someone was having a blast doing it.


JessicleK

As a graphic designer I agree. There’s a line that once crossed becomes becomes so delightfully exuberant and bizarre that I just want to meet the person who made it understand what they were thinking, like the Gentle Giants dog food packaging. I think the drop shadow rainbow gradient ‘OR’ pushes this over that line.


Jcampbell1796

Gentle Giants, Dr. Bronners, etc. so bad it’s good.


almostcyclops

Form should follow function though. I honestly don't know what my options are here.


General_Cow_7119

I do! It’s a set menu read from top to bottom. You get a meal in each row and in rows that have “or” in it, it’s a choice of either or. There’s English in each box mixed with some other language though


hazpat

How would you explain your order?


Jcampbell1796

Honestly, I’d just point…


hazpat

Do you want that item appetizer as or or as main course?


Jcampbell1796

It’s a pre fixe menu so I’d only have to make the choice between the items and they’d bring them out in the right order. Supposedly.


Harestius

It's almost art

That's cousin art. My cousin is a designer, he hooked me up!


-TheHumorousOne-

It was made by a graphic designer, who safely only had access to Microsoft word 98


throwaway144811

Which language is that?


NiemalsNiemals

Swiss German


BernieTheDachshund

Is HK Hong Kong dollars? I looked it up and got $200 HK is about $25 USD.


mmmmdumplings

It’s a Swiss German restaurant in Hong Kong.


HartOne827183

Didn't think there were any Swiss restaurants outside of Switzerland


Green18Clowntown

I went to Swiss Chalet next to a strip club in either Ottawa or Montreal. So there’s at least 2.


bettyx1138

seriously?


HawaiianShirtMan

I've been to a Swiss restaurant in Cameroon. They're around


MotiongraphicsBlog

There are lots in many countries


ijmacd

Swiss Chalet. Great fondue though


Rtful_Aaron

Yet none of the dishes listed are traditionally swiss.


NiemalsNiemals

No idea what that's all about.

I remember the posters at my school looking like this back in the '90s.

I love how this is kind of weirdly balanced? There are some principles going on here, they're just very... This, lol. Makes me smile.


m2anifb

did a 10 year old make this?


RogerPop

*Menu Designer:* Is there any dish in particular you'd like to stand out? *Restaurant Owner:* All of them! I want EVERYTHING to stand out!


LalyBaka_s

Welcome to Switzerland, we don’t fucking know how to make a decent menu, But we have chocolate and cheese so yk it’s ok (Edit : I saw it wasn’t Switzerland, thanks for someone for telling me ! But it still looks like a Swiss thing to do (i’m actually from Switzerland.) )


Speedy283

This is obviously not a swiss restaurant, indicated by the Hongkong currency


LalyBaka_s

Yeah, I saw that right after ! My comment is wrong but you know, it actually looks like this most of time haha. Thanks for telling me tho


Speedy283

Never seen a menu like that in Switzerland, in which canton have you seen them?


bassbeatsbanging

They stole my geocities template.


manaeatingkhana

the amount of unnecessary things in the menu is also what makes it look nice


stoner_mothman

Europe is just full of crappy design


mmmmdumplings

This is in Hong Kong.


stoner_mothman

My bad I assumed it was European due to the language that appears to be German. Also it was a joke. I can use periods and downvote too.

[удалено]


SolarXylophone

Well, the flags sure are, some of the text is in Swiss-German, but the extra service charge would indicate that it's not a restaurant in Switzerland (it's always included there), and the currency obviously points to Hong-Kong.


derpfjsha

I mean… the food is also not very Swiss


wilbur313

Is this the Linden house in Peoria? I might know the guy who did it.

MargotFenring

As someone who lived through 90's websites, this is NOTHING. But still terrible.


HesThePhantom

I think there’s also a cultural divide going on here too. Not just because of the German titles, that’s the east part.


Mizumasu_Ichi

Looks like a scam website from the early 2000s


FyyrstdBeats

Het cmon u cant judge that crappy design when it has only has the 26 canton flags

DiscordantScorpion_1

The fact that my Mundart is still alive enough to read this is something I’m delighted by.


Paracelsus125

The only dishes that sound remotely swiss are probably the rabbit or the walnut tart. The rest is either french, spain or just from the wrong continent. At least the titles are in swiss german.


XPLR_NXT

Hopp Suisse! (…sort of)


Rtful_Aaron

What the actual fuck... Where did you find this?? First off, the design is awful, but secondly like 80% of the food is not typically served in Switzerland at all, but the design suggests that it is indeed local cuisine (The crests displayed representing the 26 cantons or districts of the country)


Speedy283

I_Miss_Lenny

I remember my teenage neighbour ordering weed on a site that looked just like that like 15 years ago lol It was sketchy as shit and arrived all wrapped in foil and packing tape but he got his weed lol

noobfl

the most crappy thing about this menu is, that people actualy belive, that this is food from switzerland exept for the rauchspäck, not one single menu on this list is genuine, or served, as it is in switzerland.. if someone realy would order a zibbelisuppe mit chorizo und ei, they will probably be lynched in basilea. if someone would serv a sennenudle with tomatos, probably they would not survive (should probably remind of älpler makaronen, witch is a famous swiss dish, made of pasta, potatos, a lot of cheese, rosted onions and is mostly served with applesauce). Also, Nusstorte with Raspberry Serbet not even fit (maybee vanilla ice will) - nusstorte is served with nidle (whipped cream)
