Tableware

Moving away from the darker styles, our third and final free Joomla template is Tableware, a light and airy template that might suit a restaurant or cafe that's shooting for inviting rather than elegant. The three column layout gives plenty of space to put content in without mashing everything together, and the spoon next to the menu items is a particularly nice touch.
