What is Meal?

Meal is a free one-page restaurant theme that takes your food menu, reservation details, customer testimonials, and location information and renders them as a clean, mobile-friendly website. It runs entirely in the browser with no server-side dependencies, relying on Bootstrap 4.1.1, jQuery 3.2.1, and a set of front-end plugins. The template is ideal for restaurants, cafés, and food trucks that need a fast, simple web presence without a CMS.

What makes Meal stand out?

• One-page structure — All sections sit on a single scrolling page, so visitors never leave the page to find the menu, reservation form, or map.
• Sortable food menu — Menu items can be filtered by category thanks to the Isotope plugin, letting customers instantly narrow down dishes without reloading.
• Sticky burger menu and off-canvas navigation — A fixed hamburger button opens a slide-in navigation menu, keeping links accessible anywhere on the page.
• Reservation form with date picker — The booking form uses Bootstrap Datepicker so guests can select a date and time when making a reservation.
• Carousel customer testimonials — Owl Carousel spins through customer reviews with smooth animations, adding social proof to the page.
• Google Maps integration — An embedded map shows the restaurant's location directly in the template, so visitors can find it with no extra plugins.
• Flat icons and on-hover effects — Flat icon set (from Flat Icon) and Animate.css animations add visual interest to menu items and feature blocks.
• Social media icons and email subscription — Social icons link to external profiles, while a subscription form collects email addresses for newsletters.
