Restaurant Website Templates, Compared
By Manob Editorial · · Updated
A restaurant website template gives a dining room, cafe or coffee shop a menu, opening hours, a table or reservation contact and a map on a layout built for phones. We list eight picks on Manob: Caferio, Restu and Mozzu as HTML restaurant templates, two coffee shop templates from Comfy and Dreamhub, a fast-food layout from Dreamhub, Restouns as a WordPress theme, and Food Alfa as an Elementor Pro template kit.
Most restaurant owners need a website that answers three questions in the first screen: what you serve, when you are open and how to book or find you. A good template makes those answers easy to edit. This guide covers website templates in both HTML and WordPress, so you can choose by how you plan to maintain the site. If you already know you want WordPress, our WordPress restaurant themes roundup goes deeper on that side.
How we picked these eight
Manob has many restaurant and food products, and a large share are general food or grocery designs with little restaurant structure. We kept HTML and WordPress products built for a restaurant, cafe, coffee shop or fast-food outlet. We left out meat shops and specialist stores that would need a different menu layout, and two fast-food templates built around an online food shop. Mozzu made the cut because three of its five homepages are a restaurant and two coffee shop layouts. Every product on Manob is reviewed by hand before approval, and you can open each preview before you buy.
What a restaurant website must show
A restaurant site needs the menu in a form people can scan, opening hours that match your Google listing, a reservation or contact route and an address with a map. Photos matter more than they do for most businesses, but they must be your own. Stock food photos make a restaurant look generic. Check that the template's menu page groups dishes by category, because one long list is hard to scan on a phone.
Which restaurant template suits a cafe?
Cafes and coffee shops usually need a short menu, a sense of place and a simple way to show opening hours and seating. Comfy is an HTML5 template for coffee shops and tea shops, and its listing names menu and gallery sections, contact and reservation forms and a blog. Dreamhub Coffee Shop is a second HTML5 option named for coffee shops, but its listing says little about the design, so open the preview to check the menu and pages before you buy. Caferio covers restaurants and cafes together, which suits a place that serves full meals as well as coffee. Its listing promises two homepages and 15+ pages on Bootstrap 5, with working Ajax contact and booking forms.

Mozzu: best for a cafe or restaurant that also takes food orders
Mozzu is a Bootstrap 5 HTML template with five homepages: two for online food ordering, one restaurant showcase and two coffee shop layouts. The download includes HTML, CSS, SCSS and JS files plus documentation. The ordering homepages are layouts, so the cart and payment still come from an ordering service. Mozzu is also sold as a Figma design file.

Which template suits a fast-food outlet?
A fast-food outlet needs a bold menu, quick ordering links and clear branch information. Dreamhub Fast-Food Restaurant is an HTML5 template with a fast-food layout, which is a sensible starting point for that kind of business. Its listing says it is made with home delivery in mind and is fully responsive. If your fast-food brand also delivers, read our food delivery website templates guide for a few delivery-focused picks.

Should I choose an HTML template or WordPress?
Choose HTML if the menu changes a few times a year and you are happy to upload files when it does. An HTML site loads fast and has no database to maintain. Choose WordPress if staff will update prices, specials and events each week, because the dashboard makes that easy. Restouns is a WordPress restaurant and food theme whose listing covers menus, an integrated booking system, a chef section, events and specials, and a blog. Restu is an HTML template for the same kind of business, built with HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript, with pages for menu listings, food galleries, about and contact. Food Alfa is a second WordPress option, built as a template kit of Elementor pages; our Elementor template kits guide explains how a kit differs from a theme.
| Template | Type | Built with | Price from | Live demo |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Restouns - Restaurant and Food WordPress Theme | WordPress theme | Elementor | Demo | |
| Restu – Restaurant & Food HTML Template | HTML template | — | Demo | |
| Food Alfa - Restaurant & Cafe Elementor Pro Template Kit | Elementor template kit | Elementor | Demo |
Food Alfa: best for a restaurant or cafe site built in Elementor Pro
Food Alfa is a template kit, a set of ready-made Elementor pages you import into WordPress, and the listing aims it at cafes, restaurants, bars, bistros, caterers and burger or fast-food places. It needs the free Elementor plugin and Elementor Pro, which is not included, and the listing also names ElementsKit Lite among its plugins. Its 14+ page templates include Food Menu, Booking, Our Chef, Offers, Gallery and FAQ pages, plus a header and footer. The seller optimized it for the free Hello Elementor theme, and you set fonts and colors in one place through its Global Kit Style.

Can I use a restaurant template if I also sell groceries?
You can, but only for a small range. A restaurant template handles a menu of dishes with categories and prices. It does not handle a product catalog with stock, variants or shipping. If grocery sales matter, look at a store theme first. Our HTML5 templates guide explains when a static template is enough and when a shop or bookings call for WordPress.
How hard is it to set up a restaurant template?
Setting up a template means replacing demo text, photos, hours and contact details, then removing the sections you do not need. A large menu grid takes time to fill, so launch with a short menu and add dishes later. For an HTML site, you edit files or use an editor. For WordPress, you install the theme and work from the dashboard. Our customization guide covers the steps that most owners find slowest. For a template kit such as Food Alfa, you install Elementor and Elementor Pro first and then import the kit, as our Elementor kit install guide shows step by step.
When to look elsewhere
- You want reservations handled inside the site. Caferio's listing says its booking form works, Comfy lists a reservation form and Food Alfa has a Booking page. A form sends a request; live table availability needs a reservation service or booking plugin. The Restouns listing names an integrated booking system, so test it in the preview. Our Next.js templates roundup covers a restaurant template whose listing describes its own table booking and admin dashboard.
- You need online ordering and payment. Most of these templates show the menu, and the cart and payment come from a separate ordering tool. The Restouns listing mentions online ordering and delivery options, and Mozzu has two food ordering homepages, so check in each preview what that covers.
- Your concept is very specific. No pick here is built only for a bar, bakery or pizzeria, though Caferio's listing names bakeries, pubs and bars, Restu's names bakeries and Food Alfa's names bars and bistros. A close general template plus your own pages may serve you better.
- You need it free. Everything on Manob is paid. A search for "restaurant" in the WordPress.org theme directory returned hundreds of free themes as of October 2026, all GPL-licensed.

Licensing a restaurant site
A restaurant that builds its own website normally needs the Regular License. If you build sites for other restaurants, each client site needs its own license, because each one is a separate end product. The Extended License applies when the end product charges its own users. Read the licenses page before you buy.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best website template for a restaurant?
For a full-service restaurant, Restouns gives you a WordPress site you can update yourself, and Food Alfa suits a site built with Elementor Pro. For a static site, Restu is a clean HTML option, and for a cafe, start with Comfy or Dreamhub Coffee Shop. The best choice depends on who updates the menu and how often it changes.
Can a restaurant website template take reservations?
Most of the picks here give you a booking page or form, and live table availability needs a reservation service or booking plugin. The Restouns listing names an integrated booking system, so test it in the preview before you buy. For a site that runs table bookings itself, see the restaurant pick in our Next.js templates roundup.
Is an HTML restaurant template better than WordPress?
Neither is better in general. HTML is simpler to host and has fewer moving parts, while WordPress is easier for staff who change the menu without touching code. If you change the menu rarely, HTML is often enough.
Do coffee shop templates work for bakeries?
Often, yes. A coffee shop template such as Comfy has menu and gallery sections you can fill with bakes, and Caferio's and Restu's listings name bakeries among their uses. Check that the menu and gallery pages suit a larger range of items before you commit.
Can I use a restaurant template for a food truck?
Yes, for the basics. A food truck needs a menu, a location page and a way to show where it parks each day, which a fast-food or coffee layout can hold. Add a location feed or social links if your schedule changes often.
Do I need to hire a developer for a restaurant website?
Not for a simple site. Replacing text, photos and hours is a task most owners can handle. Hire a developer if you need online ordering, reservations linked to a calendar or a custom menu system.
Are these restaurant templates free?
No. Every product on Manob is paid, with prices set by the seller and a live preview you can open before buying, and Food Alfa also needs Elementor Pro, which is not included. For a free start, a search for "restaurant" in the WordPress.org theme directory returned hundreds of free themes as of October 2026.
