Restaurant, cooking, and food styling content — see how these models compare with real AI-generated outputs.
Full comparisonCompare Models (select 4)
Food photography needs more than “pretty”—it needs believable textures (steam, gloss, crumbs), accurate ingredients, and consistent styling across a menu or campaign. In Influencer Studio, Flux 2 and Reve both generate strong restaurant and cooking visuals, but they excel in different parts of the workflow.
This comparison focuses on typical food-photo use cases: hero dish images, menu and promo creatives, recipe step shots, branded packaging, and seasonal restaurant campaigns. We’ll look at realism, styling control, text accuracy, editing flexibility, and credit cost.
Food Photography — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"Casual influencer food shot: a woman in her mid-20s with shoulder-length wavy brown hair, minimal makeup, wearing an oversized cream sweater, holding her phone with one hand and glancing near the front camera with a relaxed half-smile. On the table in front of her is a beautifully plated avocado toast with a poached egg and chili flakes, bright side salad, and an iced latte, captured in a dramatic 45-degree angle like a food blog hero shot with linen napkin, gold fork, and scattered microgreens in a cozy café window seat. Natural window lighting, slightly imperfect candid framing like an Instagram story screenshot."

Flux 2 Strengths
- High-resolution output (up to 4MP) for crisp plating details like sauces, herbs, and texture
- Versatile image-to-image editing for refining an existing dish shot (composition, background, props) without restarting
- LoRA support for consistent restaurant styling (signature plating, brand color palette, recurring props) across a full menu set
- Style transfer for quickly exploring looks (rustic, fine-dining, editorial, moody bar food) while keeping the same dish concept
- Face-swap support for lifestyle food content that includes a chef or creator in-frame (useful for cooking reels thumbnails and posters)
Reve Strengths
- Strong aesthetic quality for polished hero shots and social-ready food creatives with minimal prompting
- Accurate text rendering for menu-style graphics, promo headlines, and packaging mockups where legibility matters
- Fast concepting for creative food campaigns (seasonal specials, limited-time offers, themed backgrounds)
- Lower per-image cost (8 credits) for high-volume iteration on dishes, angles, and lighting setups
Verdict
Choose Flux 2 when your food photography workflow depends on control and consistency—especially if you’re editing existing images, need higher resolution for print/crop flexibility, or want to lock in a repeatable restaurant “house style” via LoRA. It’s a better fit for menu-wide cohesion and precise refinements to plating, props, and scene layout.
Choose Reve when you want attractive food visuals quickly and affordably, or when your deliverable includes readable text (promos, menu boards, labels). For restaurants producing lots of social variations and headline-driven creatives, Reve’s cost and text reliability can be the deciding factor.
