CSS3 Hover Effects Style Restaurant Menus

This time I will show you CSS3 hover effects using CSS properties, this sample design you use for purpose restaurant website, foods or product and more. In this tutorial, we only use CSS transition and box shadow style to create beautiful image style with show and hidden text. In fact now we can use more properties of CSS to create style effects in stead of jQuery hover effects.

This image  menu style we have design to fix the layout support from big screens to smaller screens, to make it responsive display.

Please note that this will only work properly in modern browsers that support the CSS3 properties in use.

Let’s start with the HTML

The Markup

The HTML will be built up viewport meta tag to control layout on mobile browsers

A typical mobile-optimized site contains something like the following:

<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no"/>
</head>

The CSS3 Hover Effects Style Restaurant Menus will have the following structure:

<div class="our_menu">

  1. All over really awesome hover effect, with out using javascript or jquery. But if you see on the 3rd row on mouse hover we have to scroll to view the content of that menu. And will be more awesome if you add some jquery scroll effect on 3rd rows menus..

    Anyway but everything is really cool and awesome.
    cheers ;)
