Restaurant Website Template

For the place people book for birthdays and come back to on a Tuesday. The fire is in the first frame, the menu reads like the one on the table, and reserving takes one message.

An example site built from this template, on a laptop and a phone.

A menu that reads like the one on the table

Courses in order, dot leaders to the price, and vegetarian, halal and gluten-free marked on the dish. Change a price on your phone and publish before service.

Tell them why it tastes like that

A short story beside a photograph — the fire, the cellar, the farmer you buy from. It's the part of a restaurant people repeat to their friends.

The room, before they walk in

Six photographs of the evening: the tables, the bar, a plate from the pass, the cellar. Visitors hover for a caption; the pictures do the rest.

Bookings in your inbox

One band, one button. Guests send the date, time and size of their table, and you confirm by reply — no booking system to learn.

What's inside

  • HomeThe slideshow, tonight's menu, the story of the kitchen and the cellar, the room in pictures, reviews and the reservations band.
  • MenuThe kitchen and the cellar as two printed cards, with dietary tags on every dish.
  • VisitA map with your address and trading hours, the questions every table asks, and a form for private events.

Who it's for

A restaurant website for places that want the menu online, the hours clear and a simple way to ask for a table. It suits restaurants, bistros, wine bars and small eateries — anyone looking for a restaurant website design that shows the food properly and is easy to change when the menu does.

Make it yours

Bistros, wine bars, steakhouses and neighbourhood restaurants. For a café, start from the coffee shop template instead.

  • Your name, your photographs and tonight's prices — every word and picture can be changed.
  • The dark palette carries through every page; lighten it in one place if your room is all daylight.
  • Add a page for private dining, events or a wine club whenever you need one.

  • Can I edit it on my phone?Yes. The editor works on a phone as well as a computer, and the site is built to look right on both.
  • Do I need to know how to code?No. You change the words, photos and colours by clicking on them, then publish when it looks the way you want.
