The short answer

Is .menu a good domain extension?

Choose .menu when the address is a useful front door to a current menu or ordering experience. Use .restaurant for the whole venue brand.

Choose .menu when

  • Restaurant menus
  • Food ordering
  • Menu publishers
  • Hospitality campaigns

Consider another extension when

  • The menu will not stay current
  • Allergen and pricing information is missing
  • The brand is a full restaurant group rather than a menu utility

Research brief

The .menu facts that change the decision

This page separates registry policy, public market evidence and registrar pricing. A sample is labeled as a sample; a rule is labeled as a rule; and a checkout quote is never presented as a registry statistic.

Availability without guesswork

How to find a strong available .menu

Treat availability as the start of the decision, not the finish. A usable name also needs to be easy to communicate, defensible and fairly priced.

  1. 01

    Start with a name that earns .menu

    Make location and venue identity explicit, especially for a short menu link. Check the URL on a phone before publishing it on table cards.

  2. 02

    Search the exact label first

    Keep the search scoped to this extension, then compare the exact label with closely related endings before accepting a spelling compromise.

  3. 03

    Check rights and pronunciation

    An available result is not trademark clearance. Say the name aloud, check local implications and review the registrar’s final eligibility rules.

Pricing explained

What does a .menu domain cost?

The useful number is the full cost of ownership, not the largest promotional figure on a registrar banner.

Lowest verified row: $27.99 for year one

Renews from $27.99

This is the lowest verified provider row, not a recommendation. Compare every available registrar below; a provider gets a price row after its current quote is collected or approved in admin.
