The short answer
Cork suits most cafés and casual restaurants: it wipes clean, has no coating to peel, stays matte under lights, and takes a printed logo.
Leather suits formal fine dining if you want stitched edges and can replace covers as they wear. Acrylic suits single-sheet menus where cleaning matters most.
