Nola is a new kitchen concept in Porto that privileges natural food and ingredients. Real food, nothing else - is the moto and a way of living that promotes healthy and tasty food for the modern city dweller. But natural doesn't have to be boring. With this in mind, we've created a minimal identity that is as pure as Nola's recipes. The brand architecture is monolithic with Nola Kitchen as master brand and two extensions, Nola Market and Nola Food Truck.
To be NOLA is to reject food that hurts our health and that’s why refined sugars and flours, processed ingredients or preservatives are not allowed in our menu. We believe in the power of real food: more vegetables and ethically sourced, better quality meat and fish. We do not believe in one right diet, but in one right way of eating, what we call: THE NOLA WAY OF LIFE.
The lines are more than graphic elements – they are the foundation of Nola’s visual identity, embodying balance, consistency, and transparency. Their defined weight and proportion ensure clarity and coherence across every application. Equally, color plays a vital role. A monochromatic palette conveys purity, neutrality, and minimalism, keeping the focus on what truly matters – the food. The Nola Kitchen project has been recognized nationally and internationally, earning several distinctions.
