6 – Canapé
Canapé is the restaurant theme variant by Automattic, the company behind WordPress. This stands for optimal code quality and durability of the theme, but nonetheless, themes by Automattic are known for a rather limited scope of features. However, missing features can be added via plugins in arrear, and then will be available for the next theme as well.
