Minimum font size for restaurant menu design

Hi there

I'm creating a restaurant's cocktail menu on portrait A4 size, with fold down the middle to render 4.25" x 11" per panel.

What is the suggested minimum font size that I can go with?  Unfrotunately don't have access to a printer, so a little difficult to judge.

Thanks
Aidan

I think it would depend on how many menu items there are.  If there are only 8 or so menu items, you could go with a large font.  (18-20px)  But if there are a bunch of menu items, you will have to use a smaller font.  (and will there be pictures of each menu item?)  The font size will also have to vary with the font that you use...

So can you give us a bit more information?  Thanks!

But i would say, definately dont go any smaller than 12...

nice - thank you

that's the sorta thing i was looking for. been working at 13 for headers, 10 for content throughout (loads of content to cram in) and all seems to be working well.

thanks for your input!
