Buffalo – Cafe & Restaurant WordPress Theme Overview
Buffalo is a responsive restaurant design by template_path with a modern, creative look. The vendor pitches it at a very broad range of food businesses: small neighbourhood restaurants, takeout counters and drive-throughs, hotel dining rooms, street-food stands, food courts, bakeries and pastry shops, coffee and tea shops, bars, pubs, caterers and personal chefs. It is meant to adapt to different cuisines and price points.
Buffalo provides food menu layouts including set menus and à la carte listings, a section for featured offers, OpenTable reservations, galleries for the dining room, client testimonials, opening hours, chef and cook biographies, a service section, a blog and a contact page with a Google Map. Pages are built with Elementor’s drag-and-drop editor, and demo content can be loaded after activation so you edit pages that are already designed.
Settings are handled through an admin panel based on the Vafpress theme options framework. It offers 600+ Google Fonts and custom font support, unlimited sidebars, custom page templates, footer widget areas, social links, custom CSS and various post formats. It is translation-ready, supports WPML, Contact Form 7 and child themes, and includes documentation with video guides.

Who Buffalo – Cafe & Restaurant WordPress Theme Is Suitable For
Buffalo suits Canadian restaurants of almost any style that want to present a full menu, share their opening hours and let guests book through OpenTable. The chef biography and interior gallery sections are helpful for sit-down restaurants and hotel dining rooms that want to highlight their kitchen team and their space.
Takeout counters, food-court stalls, bakeries, pastry shops, coffee and tea shops, pubs and catering companies can use it too, particularly if they rely on set menus or rotating specials. Personal chefs can use the bio and service sections. WPML support makes a bilingual English and French site possible.
Important Notes About Buffalo – Cafe & Restaurant WordPress Theme
Parts of the listing refer to other products by name, including Topica and a trucking theme, so judge Buffalo by its live demo rather than the wording. The changelog shows only two entries, with the Elementor version added in December 2022, so verify compatibility with current WordPress and PHP before buying. OpenTable requires your own account, and Google Maps requires an API key.
Testimonials must be genuine. Keep menu prices, ingredients and allergen information accurate, and avoid unsupported health claims. If you offer takeout or delivery, provincial and municipal food-safety rules apply, and where you serve alcohol, provincial liquor licensing applies; the owner is responsible for compliance.
