Create an appetizing, brand-safe food visual for a cafe menu or social post.

Copy this prompt

Create a realistic hero photograph of [specific pastry or dish] and [drink] for a small cafe. Place the food on simple ceramic tableware near a window with soft side light. Highlight accurate texture, fresh ingredients and natural portion size; include subtle cafe context but keep the dish the focal point. Composition: wide 16:9, with one clean area for later menu copy. Style: editorial food photography, warm but not oversaturated. If a reference dish photo is supplied, preserve the recipe and plating rather than adding ingredients. Avoid fake readable menu text, logos, extra cutlery, melted impossible textures or duplicated food.

Quality check

The food should match the real menu item and be recognizable at thumbnail size; add final prices and labels separately. Browse more original ideas in the free prompt library.
