Choosing a restaurant name can be a daunting yet exciting task for any new restaurateur. It’s the first impression potential customers will have, setting the tone for their dining experience. Plus, it can make a real difference in your marketing strategy and how easily people can find you. While some go for classy concepts or the good old method of using the owner’s name, others have a different approach, one that we absolutely adore. They embrace the power of humor and let their imagination run wild, coming up with creative restaurant names that can’t help but make you think, “Now that’s a clever one!”
Here’s what we’ve cooked up for you today — a serving of funny restaurant names from owners with a great sense of humor. We believe that laughter is the best medicine, and combining that with delicious food creates a recipe for success. So, if you’ve been craving some restaurant-naming inspiration or simply need a good chuckle, here is where you’ll find it!
We collected a wide variety of restaurant name ideas that showcase the wit and cleverness of their owners. From punny restaurant names that make you groan (in a good way) to downright hilarious monikers that’ll have you laughing out loud, these humorous business names are pure genius. As you read through these side-splitting restaurant names, prepare to be inspired and entertained by the creative wit of these restaurant owners who have turned the task of naming their establishment into a form of art. Who knows? You might even recognize a favorite dining spot of yours among these eateries!

But it doesn't translate to even close to that! I can't make out the first word that's in simplified Chinese (blocked by branch) but the second two are Yuan and Lou (money, primary, a dynasty and building).

Do you know why on tv or in movies, whenever anyone is carrying a bag of groceries there is ALWAYS a baguette sticking out? French mafia, that’s why.
J. Grawn 2 years ago
Very common in France. People walking down the street with a baguette sticking out of their grocery bag. Often with the top eaten off before it even gets home.

"East East Noodles" isn't as catchy. Also, look at "The Peach" behind it. That's a direct translation. How about "Laundry and Alteration?"

Some of these are very close to copyright infringement (assuming they're genuine and not photoshop, which I suspect some are).
