101 Greatest Catchy Restaurant Names (2020)

One of the hurdles to building your business and your brand is to actually name it. What’s in a name? The name of your business, especially in the food industry should incite curiosity. A customer should feel intrigued by the name alone and then be willing to try out the menu.

The next question is, what kind of customers do you want to attract? Is your restaurant a family friendly atmosphere with kids’ menus and play area? Is it a fancy with candle lit tables and soft classical music in the background?

For such reasons, naming a restaurant can be quite a task. There are several factors involved such as:

  • Type of restaurant/signature cuisine (What’s on your menu?)
  • Location (City, rural area and so forth)
  • Ambience (Décor and Vibe)
  • Name availability (Is the name you have in mind common?)
  • Target consumer crowd (e.g Fine dining, family oriented, fast food)

 

 

We’ve compiled a list of 101 Catchy Restaurant Names that can help you get some ideas for naming your business. Some key points to note when naming a restaurant are:

  • Keep it simple – keep the name short and no more than three words long
  • Don’t limit to location name – this can be referred to in a tagline for specific branding
  • Make sure it’s easy to spell (and say) especially if you use a word from a foreign language
  • Always do a copyright/ business name search to see if your name is already taken
  • Check out the competition
  • Find unique ways to tweak your name with alternative spelling, for instance
  • When in doubt, turn to the internet for online name generators

 

Whatever name you choose should have a bit of personal flair and branding attached, especially for social media and online websites. It should be easily marketed and easy for customers to remember and recommend. The following lists break down potential restaurants names into popular categories.
