Restaurant Menu Icons
Menus work harder when dishes are easy to scan. Whether you run a restaurant, cafe, or food truck, transparent food icons help guests find sections and signature dishes faster — on printed menus, menu boards, and QR menus alike.

Practical tips
- One style per menu. Sticker's bold outlines stay readable at small sizes; Watercolor suits upscale, softer menus. Consistency beats variety.
- Print at PNG 512 or larger. Downscaling is always safe; upscaling blurs. For anything printed bigger than a business card, start from 512 or 1024.
- Icons support text — they don't replace it. Pair each icon with the dish or section name.
- Transparent backgrounds mean any paper or theme works. The same icon sits cleanly on white menus, kraft paper, or dark digital boards.
- Keep sizes uniform. Pick one icon size per menu level (e.g. sections vs dishes) and stick to it.
FAQ
Can I use these icons on a commercial menu?
Yes. All Yoricon icons are free for personal and commercial use, with no attribution required — printed menus, digital menu boards, and QR menus included.
Which size should I use for a printed menu?
Use PNG 512 for icons placed next to dishes, and PNG 1024 for large cover or section artwork. At 300 DPI print resolution, a 512 px icon is about 4.3 cm wide.
Can I mix icon styles on one menu?
You can, but menus read better with a single style. Pick Sticker or Watercolor and use it throughout.
