A website for your restaurant.
Most people open a restaurant's website with one of four questions: what's on the menu, where is it, is it open now, and can I book? A restaurant site earns its keep by answering those in seconds on a phone, and by making the food look as good as it tastes.
Design yours now — the brief is ready
A warm, appetising website for a neighbourhood Italian restaurant: a full-width food photo hero with Book a table and Order takeaway buttons, a text menu with sections and dietary labels, opening hours and a map, a private dining enquiry page, and a short story about the chef. Rich terracotta and cream colours with an elegant serif for headings.

What a restaurant website needs
The sections worth building, and why each one earns its place.
The menu, as real text
A menu uploaded as a PDF or photo is slow on phones, hard to read and hard to keep current. A text menu with sections and dietary labels is easier for guests and for Google.
Reservations
Link or embed the booking system you already use, or give a number that gets answered. A Book a table button in the header turns browsing into a booking.
Opening hours and location
Hours, a map and parking or transport notes, near the top. Wrong hours online are one of the quickest ways to lose a guest's trust.
Photos of the food and the room
People decide with their eyes. Good photos of signature dishes and the dining room tell them what kind of evening to expect — a quick lunch or a special dinner.
Takeaway and delivery links
If you take orders, link straight to where people can place one, so a hungry visitor doesn't have to hunt for you in a delivery app.
Private dining and events
Group bookings are often worth more than a regular table. A short page with capacity, sample menus and an enquiry form captures them.
Your story
A few lines about the chef, the cuisine and where the ingredients come from give people a reason to choose you over the place next door.
Tips that get more people to act
- Make the phone number tap-to-call and the address open in maps.
- Label vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes and common allergens, so people with dietary needs can decide before they arrive.
- Keep the next step — Book, Order or Call — in the same place on every page.
- Change seasonal menus and holiday hours on the site the same day you change them in the restaurant.
What to avoid
- Music or video that plays on its own.
- A menu that only exists as a PDF download.
- Huge, uncompressed photos that make the page crawl on mobile data.
- An Order online button that leads to a dead or out-of-date link.

The menu as text, opening hours, the location with a map, a way to book or order, and photos of the food and the room. Add private dining, events and your story when you have them.
It's better not to rely on one. A PDF is awkward to read on a phone, slow to load and harder for search engines to read. Put the menu on the page as text and offer a PDF only as an extra for printing.
Yes, it helps. Delivery apps list you next to your competitors, while your own site is where people check your hours, book a table, see the full menu and find the direct way to order.
