Restaurant Websites That Fill Tables
From the first “restaurant near me” search to a confirmed booking, we build the site and the marketing that turn hungry searchers into regulars. Bilingual, fast and easy for your team to update.
Loubane designs fast, mobile-first, bilingual websites for restaurants, cafés, bars and food businesses, with crawlable menus, reservation and online ordering integrations. We then grow your visibility with local SEO, a fully optimized Google Business Profile, Google Ads and Meta campaigns, and we report results in reservations, orders and calls, not just clicks, for food businesses in Montreal, across Quebec and Canada.
The challenge for restaurants online
Most diners decide where to eat on their phone, often within minutes. They search “restaurant near me”, check photos, scan the menu, glance at reviews and either book, order or call. If your menu is a blurry PDF, your hours are out of date or your site takes too long to load on mobile data, they simply pick the next result on the map.
Competition is intense in Montreal, Quebec City, Toronto and every Canadian city with a lively food scene. Delivery apps sit between you and your customers and take a commission on each order. In Quebec, you also serve a bilingual audience: your site has to work beautifully in French, with English as a strong second language for tourists and anglophone neighbourhoods. A good restaurant website gives you a direct channel you own, so you depend less on third-party platforms.
What we build for restaurants, cafés and bars
Every restaurant website we build is designed around the three things diners want fastest: what you serve, when you are open and how to get a table or an order.
- HTML menus, not PDFs: readable on any phone, indexable by Google, easy for your staff to update prices and daily specials.
- Reservations: integration with the booking platform you already use, or a simple request form if you prefer to confirm by phone.
- Online ordering: pickup and delivery ordering through WooCommerce or your existing ordering system, so you keep more of each sale.
- Click-to-call and directions: one-tap buttons for calling, maps and parking or transit details.
- Events and private dining: pages and inquiry forms for group bookings, catering and private events.
- Gift cards and merchandise: an online shop for gift cards, sauces, coffee beans or baked goods when it fits your concept.
- Allergen and dietary information: clear labels for vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options.
- Photo-forward design: optimized images that load fast and make your dishes look as good as they taste.
- Bilingual from day one: French and English versions with proper language switching.
SEO and local SEO strategy for food businesses
Restaurant SEO is mostly local. We focus on the searches people make when they are ready to eat or book: “brunch Plateau Mont-Royal”, “meilleure pizza Laval”, “sushi near me”, “restaurant terrasse Vieux-Montréal”, “private dining room Montreal” or “café avec wifi Québec”.
- Google Business Profile: complete categories, hours (including holidays), menu link, booking and ordering links, attributes like terrace or wheelchair access, and regular photo and post updates.
- Location and cuisine pages: dedicated pages for each location and for key offerings such as brunch, happy hour, catering or vegan menus.
- Schema markup: Restaurant, Menu, opening hours and address structured data so search engines understand your business.
- Consistent listings: matching name, address and phone across directories, maps and review sites.
- Content that earns attention: seasonal menus, events and neighbourhood guides that give people and local media a reason to link to you.
We never promise a specific ranking. We do the work that search engines reward and show you how it moves over time.
Marketing that brings customers through the door
- Google Ads: search and map campaigns around your neighbourhood and peak hours, pointing to booking or ordering pages.
- Meta (Facebook and Instagram): local campaigns for launches, new menus, events and holiday bookings, using your own photos and short videos.
- Email and SMS lists: collect consenting subscribers through your site and send birthday offers, event invites and seasonal menus.
- Reviews strategy: simple, polite ways to ask happy guests for a Google review, plus guidance on replying to every review, good or bad, in the guest’s language.
We report what you earn, not just clicks
Traffic is nice; covers and orders pay the rent. We set up tracking so you see what your website and marketing actually produce:
- Reservations completed and booking-button clicks
- Online orders and revenue from your own ordering system
- Phone calls from the site, ads and Google Business Profile, through call tracking
- Event, catering and private dining inquiries
- Cost per reservation, order or inquiry from paid campaigns
We configure GA4 with conversion events, connect your ad accounts and send a monthly report in plain language: what happened, what it means and what we will do next.
Compliance and trust in Quebec and Canada
A few rules matter for restaurant websites. This is general information, not legal advice.
- Charter of the French language (Bill 96): businesses in Quebec must make their website and commercial content available in French; we build French as a full, first-class version.
- Law 25 (Quebec privacy law): reservation, ordering and newsletter forms collect personal information, so you need a clear privacy policy, a designated person responsible for privacy and proper consent for tracking cookies. We set up a cookie banner and collect only what you need.
- CASL: promotional emails and texts require consent, clear sender identification and an easy unsubscribe.
- Accuracy: keeping allergen notes, prices and hours current protects your guests and your reputation.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a restaurant website cost?
It depends on scope: the number of pages and locations, whether you need online ordering or a shop, reservation integrations, bilingual content writing and photography. We give you a clear, itemized quote after a short discovery call so you only pay for what you need.
How long does it take to launch a restaurant website?
Most restaurant sites launch in 3–8 weeks depending on scope. A simple bilingual site with a menu and reservations is on the shorter end; online ordering, multiple locations or an online shop take longer.
Can my staff update the menu and specials ourselves?
Yes. We build menus as editable content in WordPress, so updating a price, adding a daily special or hiding a sold-out dish takes a minute. We train your team at launch and can handle updates for you through a maintenance plan.
Do I own my website and domain?
Yes. Your domain, website, content and accounts such as Google Business Profile, GA4 and ad accounts are registered in your name. If you ever leave us, you keep everything.
