Food website design examples
Screen recordings of each website
Union Boulangerie ↗
A Paris neighbourhood bakery that opens on grainy video from the kitchen, then switches to flat cobalt blue panels with typewriter text and hand-drawn doodles. Its shops sit on tilted, polaroid-style cards with scribbled notes. Borrow the handwritten annotations, which make a tidy grid feel as if someone in the bakery drew on it.
Thunderbuns ↗
A smashburger delivery brand with lightning bolt doodles, huge heavy headlines and an order ticker running across the top. The palette is near-black green, acid lime and cream, with pink sticker buttons set at a tilt. Borrow the jagged, lightning-edged section dividers, which carry the brand idea into the layout itself.
Impasto ↗
A bakery whose bread names stack up on the opening screen while a small photo window opens behind them, then dark story panels with flour-dusted photos. Thin uppercase headlines sit beside a bookish serif, on aubergine and warm off-white. Borrow that pairing of a light display face with a traditional reading serif.
The Candy Vault ↗
An online sweet shop with curved headline type, a candy wall photo and round product shots on a grid. Lavender, pink and plum lead, soft blob shapes sit behind each category name, and a yellow ticker carries the offers. Borrow the round cut-outs in square bordered tiles, which keep a colourful range orderly.
Guide
How to use website inspiration well
Food sites have one job before anything else, which is to make you hungry. These do it with close photography, warm colour and menus that read in seconds, and each one is recorded so you can watch how it moves on desktop and phone.
- Name the move. "Huge serif headline over a full-width photo" is something you can prompt; "nice vibe" is not.
- Watch the motion, not just the layout. How things enter, scroll and respond is what makes these sites feel finished.
- Check the phone version. The tall tiles show how each site handles a small screen.
- Then find the prompt. Our library has prompts for the sections these sites are built from: browse the prompt library.
