Restaurant menu templates

Three designs made for restaurants, from a candle-lit bistro to a busy noodle bar. Each one is shown with the sample restaurant it was built around, with a live preview you can open on your phone.

The restaurant templates

What makes a good restaurant menu design

Restaurant menus are longer and read more slowly than café menus. A good design gives them structure:

  • Clear courses, so guests can jump from starters to mains without losing their place
  • Room for a description under each dish, set smaller and lighter than the name
  • Photos that make signature dishes look as good as they taste, in a consistent shape
  • Prices placed the same way on every line, easy to compare but not the loudest thing
  • A mood that matches the room: dark and warm for dinner, bright and bold for casual

Three moods

Bistro Night is forest green and champagne gold with italic serif dish names, for dinner service and date nights. Chalkboard Cards puts white cards on a charcoal board with heavy headings and pill prices, for noodle bars, burger joints and anywhere lively. Emerald Zigzag uses bottle green and cream, tall uppercase titles and numbered dishes that swap sides, for modern restaurants with a strong signature list.

Questions about restaurant menu templates

Which template suits a long menu?

Bistro Night and Chalkboard Cards both handle long menus well. Emerald Zigzag gives each dish more space, so it's best for a menu of signatures.

Can a dark template be switched to light?

Yes. Every template has a light and a dark mode, and you can change the accent colour and fonts within its range.

Do the restaurant templates work in Arabic?

Yes. Each has Arabic typefaces chosen for it and reads right to left. Guests can switch between Arabic and English with one tap.
