Maneki Comptoir Asiat' is an Asian food eatery, located in the heart of Montréal's Hochelaga-Maisoneuve neighborhood. The restaurant's unique look is brought to life with bright branding and interior design accents that are created by [Studio Beau](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/light-years-diner) and Rainbow-Sangaré.

While the eatery's blue and white interior is reminiscent of abstract art prints from the 80s, its menu design is paired with bright red accents, whimsical typography, and dish-themed illustrations. Pairing traditional [Asian cuisine staples](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lobby-bar) with a contemporary visual identity, Maneki Comptoir Asiat' is a Millennial-friendly restaurant that is undeniably social media-friendly.

Fans of [Instagrammable dining](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toms-pasta) are sure to fall in love with the vibrant spot, which is home to a variety of signature dishes, and non-alcoholic beverage options.
