The website for your restaurant or any food business is a major opportunity to get customers in your door. Your website isn’t just for sharing the information they need to book a table or decide to stop in, it’s one of your best platforms to communicate the atmosphere of your restaurant.
While each of these five website examples have similar pages, each shows a different way to present images or choose colors and fonts that reflect the unique energy of the business. Start with any of the restaurant website templates below or use them as inspiration for your own fully custom design.
1. Juniper
This minimal layout gets a lot across as soon as someone lands on the homepage. Using a full-screen image of a dish or your space communicates the ambience of your restaurant or lets you highlight a menu item.
From here, visitors can choose where to navigate based on their priorities: menu information, contact or address details, or reservation booking. The rest of the navigation gives you options to tie every part of your business together, linking to review sites and social media and background on how your business came to be.
2. Tantillo
This bold, colorful website design is perfect for a restaurant or food business with big flavors and personality. Bold fonts and a bright palette keep visitors’ attention, but the design itself is simple. The homepage introduces the restaurant, includes hours and contact information, and highlights a clear call to action button for booking a reservation.
Shape masks give food photos some personality while blending them into the overall design, while animations and decorative shapes add to the playful look.
3. Pine
The Pine website example mixes bold personality with minimal design using simple layouts and plenty of negative space, plus all-caps, heavily weighted fonts and high contrast photos with a subtle static effect.
Like many of the other design examples, the navigation options are minimal. The copy you see when you land on the website describes what you can expect from the restaurant and links drive you to explore the menu or book a meal.
4. Hemlock
The mix of minimal design with inviting colors, fun fonts, and friendly copy creates an impression of a good-quality, casual local haunt. The featured image on the homepage confirms that—Hemlock is a place where you can have a nice drink and a sit-down meal, but not the type of place with a strict dress code.
The design makes it extra easy to find key information, like contact and location information and daily hours. The call to action is clear too, with the clearly outlined “Reserve a Table” button and a smaller “Menu” button if you want more information.
5. Hill
With its simple but open design—sans serif font, lots of negative space—this website communicates that this restaurant takes their food seriously, but has a more casual feel than the style of restaurant featured in the Juniper website example.
The headline speaks to the main selling point of the business—quality ramen, from scratch—with the photos emphasizing the process.
