How to Draw a Restaurant
In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to draw a restaurant in a simple step-by-step style. You’ll learn how to sketch a recognizable restaurant building that you can use in city scenes, street drawings, or other illustrations.
How to Draw a Restaurant: Basic Information
The lesson covers the main parts of a restaurant, including large restaurant windows, an awning, and a simple entrance. These same drawing techniques can also be used when creating other buildings and street scenes.
After finishing the restaurant, you can add more objects to the scene. For example, you can draw a chef standing near the entrance, place a few tables and chairs outside, or add cars and street lamps to create a busy city street.
You can find separate tutorials for each of these subjects elsewhere on the site.
By the end of the lesson, you’ll have a finished restaurant drawing and a simple building that can be combined with many other city-themed tutorials on the site.

How to Draw a Restaurant
- Draw the base.
Depict a straight rectangle with straight lines. Add the narrow strip at the bottom.
- Add the outline of the roof and the door.
Draw a horizontal line across the top of the drawing. Draw the rectangular door.
- Depict the canopy and sign.
Draw the wide canopy in the shape of a trapezoid. On the roof of the restaurant, draw an elongated rectangle.
- Sketch out the outer outline of the windows.
Use straight lines and draw two different sized windows.
- Detail the windows.
On each window, draw a horizontal line and draw some vertical lines.
- Draw the table and chairs.
Depict the table and two chairs of the same shape as in my example.
- Add the inscription.
Carefully write the word “restaurant” on the sign.
- Correct inaccuracies.
If you notice mistakes, then immediately correct them and remove all unnecessary lines in your drawing.
- Color the drawing.
For coloring, use several bright colors.

And as always, I want to present a PDF version of this tutorial, where I’ve combined the main steps in a simplified format for offline use. It also includes additional materials, such as a coloring page, tracing worksheet, and a grid drawing worksheet. And of course, it is absolutely free to download and use offline.
Ideas for Your Restaurant Drawing
Now that the restaurant is finished, you can place it in different settings. For example, you can draw a city street with cars, people, and traffic lights around the building.
A restaurant can also be placed in the countryside with trees, a path, and a small stream nearby. Another option is to draw a beach scene by adding palm trees, sand, and the ocean.
If you prefer a busier setting, try drawing market stalls, signs, and people walking around the restaurant.
You can find separate tutorials for many of these subjects on the site. Adding them to your restaurant drawing is a good way to practice new objects while creating a more complete scene.
