Capella | Restaurant WordPress Theme Overview
Capella is a theme by ThemeGoods with a clean, modern design for restaurants, pubs and bars, bakeries and other food-related sites. It pairs smooth parallax backgrounds with a strong emphasis on photography, making it a good fit for venues whose food and interiors photograph well.
A drag-and-drop content builder lets you assemble pages from modules such as a food menu, gallery, blog and events. The theme includes three food menu templates, twenty gallery templates with full-screen and Ken Burns slideshows, and events that visitors can filter. Custom post types keep galleries, menus, events, testimonials and team members organized in the dashboard, and the gallery manager supports uploading many images at once.
Navigation is handled by a sticky main menu and an off-canvas menu on mobile, with instant AJAX search across the site. Reservation and contact forms are supported, and the contact page has form validation and a full-screen Google Map. Styling can be adjusted through a colour picker, custom typography and 300+ Google Fonts, and a shortcode generator helps with columns and styled text. Revolution Slider is bundled, WPML is supported for multilingual sites, and a child theme is available for safe customization. Responsive behaviour can even be switched off from the backend if needed.

Who Capella | Restaurant WordPress Is Suitable For
Capella suits Canadian restaurants, bakeries, pubs and bistros that want to tell their story through photography, with large galleries of dishes, rooms and events. The filterable events feature fits venues that host live music, tasting nights or seasonal menus.
Independent restaurants with a chef-led concept can use the team section to introduce staff, and multilingual venues can translate content with WPML. Bakeries and cafés can use the gallery templates to show daily baking, cakes or seasonal drinks, while pubs can publish their event calendar and a food menu on the same site. Because the content builder works with modules, staff can rearrange a page without editing code.
Important Notes About Capella | Restaurant WordPress
Capella dates from 2014 and recent updates are mainly Revolution Slider refreshes, with PHP 8 and WordPress 6 fixes in 2022. Verify current compatibility before buying. The listed Google+ integration is obsolete because that network has closed. Menu prices and allergen details should stay current, and events that sell tickets or involve alcohol fall under provincial rules. The owner is responsible for compliance.
The description does not mention WooCommerce or online ordering, so plan on a separate plugin if you want takeout orders. Genuine testimonials only should appear in the testimonials section.
