Resta is a free Bootstrap 4 HTML5 responsive restaurant website template from ThemeWagon, created by Colorlib, that delivers a complete multi-page restaurant site out of the box with a booking form, photo gallery, blog, and working contact form.
What is Resta?
Resta is a free, open-source restaurant website template built on Bootstrap 4 and HTML5, distributed by ThemeWagon and designed by Colorlib. It takes the included HTML, CSS, SCSS, JavaScript, and one PHP file and produces a fully responsive, multi-page restaurant website that works across Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, Opera, and mobile devices. The template is static-ready: you can host the HTML files on any web server, and the PHP file powers the working contact form.
Key Features
- Bootstrap 4 foundation — The layout system, grid, and components are all built on Bootstrap 4, with CSS and SCSS source files included for customizing the design.
- Fully responsive and cross-browser — The template renders consistently from smartphones to large desktop screens and is tested for Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera, and Safari.
- Hero header and sticky navigation — A prominent hero header sets the visual tone, and the top navigation bar sticks to the screen as visitors scroll.
- Photo gallery with modal image view — Uses Magnific Pop-Up to open gallery images in a lightbox, with hover effects on the thumbnails.
- Testimonial carousel — Owl Carousel powers a rotating testimonials section, also used for other slider content.
- Working contact and booking forms — Includes a PHP contact form and a visible booking form UI; the newsletter signup integrates with MailChimp via Ajax.
- Blog, search, and Instagram feeds — A blog section with pagination UI, a site search option, and an Instagram feed block are all part of the multi-page layout.
- Google Maps and icon sets — Embedded Google Maps for location display, with FontAwesome, Flaticon, and Themify Icons on board.
Who is it for?
Resta is aimed at restaurant and cafe owners who need a polished website without hiring a developer. It is also useful for food bloggers who want a multi-page layout with a blog section and gallery, and for catering businesses that can adapt the restaurant structure to their own services. Web designers can use the included SCSS source files to customize the theme quickly.
