Modern, clean, sophisticated: Make your online presence as striking and stylish as your business with Maywood.
A WordPress restaurant theme, Maywood works just as well for fine dining establishments, as it does for cafés and coffee shops.
A menu page — see it in action in the theme demo — gives potential diners food and drink options and pricing. Use the WordPress block editor to add other key information for restaurant websites like contact forms, maps, business hours, social media links, and more.
Maywood‘s layout features full-width imagery to show off your mouth-watering dishes in all their glory. And with a WordPress.com Business plan, you can add online ordering and table reservations with the plugin of your choice. Start building your restaurant website with the Maywood theme.

You’ll be using the Customizer to configure your site’s look and feel. To access the Customizer, click on My Site in the top-left corner of the screen, look for the Personalize section in the sidebar, and click on Customize. (Going forward we’ll use the Customize → X format to point to a specific section within the Customizer.) Learn more about the Customizer here.
When you’re ready to exit the Customizer, click the X in the top-left corner. Whenever you make changes you’d like to keep, click on the blue Publish button, just to the right of the X button. Don’t worry, we’ll remind you to save your progress as you go. Let’s get started!
The demo site uses a static homepage. Follow these steps to achieve the same look:
Maywood fully supports the new WordPress Editor. You can choose any of the available blocks to create a wide range of content for your site. Here’s how we built the homepage on the demo site, block by block:
If your business has a logo, you can display it in your site’s header. Here’s how:
Your logo will appear to the left of the site title on desktop computers, and above the Site Title on mobile devices. The maximum height of the logo image is 60px, while the width can be adjusted as needed.
It’s time to create a navigation menu to help your visitors find the information they’re looking for. The first step is to create a menu, following these instructions. Once you’ve created the menu, you can pick where you want it to go.
With Maywood, you have the option to display links to your social media accounts in the header, right below the main site navigation. To do that, you’ll first need to set up a Social Links Menu. Once you’ve done that:
Linking to each of your social media profiles in your social menu will automatically display its corresponding icon. See which social media icons are supported.
