How to name your restaurant with a play on words
A play on words in the name of a restaurant, bar or convenience store helps with memorization. That's why many people use them to name their establishments in dense or touristy areas... But not with a pun at any price! If there were one rule to respect, it would be to ensure that the pun fits in with the identity and spirit of the place.
For example, some restaurant names include a pun on the manager's name (Émile et une huître, Pâte'Oche...). Others recall their location, as in the case of Legendre Idéal (rue Legendre in Paris) or Boul'Mich (boulevard Saint-Michel). Still others choose a pun with a reference to a passion or an element of popular culture (Kill Brie, Hansel et Crepel...).
The most important thing, after all, is that it reflects your image. And if you don't have any inspiration, you can browse the unfiltered list below!
