Spice Up Your Workplace: 20 Delicious Meeting Room Names Inspired by World Cuisines

Nobody has a complicated relationship with food names. Everyone knows what a taco is. Everyone can spell "sushi." And there's something genuinely fun about telling a colleague, "I'm heading to Dim Sum Den — see you there in five."

Food-themed meeting room names are approachable, easy to remember, and guaranteed to get a smile. They also sidestep the usual corporate naming traps. No one rolls their eyes at "Ramen Room" the way they might at "Ideation Station."

Here are 20 names inspired by dishes from around the world. They're organized loosely by region, but honestly, the best approach is to pick whichever ones sound good to you.

Why Food Names Hit Different

A few reasons these work so well:

Everyone relates to food. It's one of the few universal experiences that cross every culture, role, and seniority level. The CEO and the intern both know what pad thai is.

They're conversation starters. "Why is this room called Pierogi Parlor?" leads to actual human connection in a way that "Why is this room called Meeting Room 3B?" never will.

They set a relaxed tone. Walking into a room called "Churro Chamber" puts people at ease before the meeting even starts. That matters more than most office design guides admit.

They're hard to mix up. "Sushi Roll" and "Paella Plaza" are visually and phonetically distinct. Nobody's going to accidentally walk into the wrong one.

For more ideas on building a workplace people actually want to be in, food-themed rooms are a surprisingly effective starting point.

Italian and Mediterranean

1. Pasta Primavera — Colorful, fresh, and a little bit fancy without being pretentious. Good for a bright, well-lit room.
2. Gnocchi Nook — "Nook" tells everyone this is a small, cozy space. The alliteration makes it stick in your head.
3. Paella Plaza — Paella is a big, shareable dish. "Plaza" signals a spacious room — perfect for all-hands or team-wide meetings.
4. Falafel Forum — Falafel is everywhere, beloved by almost everyone, and vegetarian by default. "Forum" adds a hint of open discussion.
5. Gazpacho Gallery — A cold Spanish soup, bright and unexpected. Works for a room with visual elements — a whiteboard wall, screens, or artwork.

Asian Flavors

6. Sushi Roll — Clean, minimal, precise. If you have a sleek, well-organized room, this name matches the energy.
7. Dim Sum Den — Dim sum is all about variety and sharing. A good name for a room that hosts rotating groups or cross-functional meetings.
8. Ramen Room — Warm, comforting, unpretentious. Works for casual brainstorming or informal catch-ups. Two syllables, hard to forget.
9. Pad Thai Pavilion — Pad thai is one of the most widely recognized dishes in the world. "Pavilion" gives it a bit of openness.
10. Kimchi Kitchen — There's an energy to this name — kimchi is bold, tangy, and a little spicy. Good for a team that doesn't hold back in discussions.

The Americas

11. Taco Tuesday — Yes, it's a cliche. But cliches become cliches because they work. This name is instantly familiar and inherently lighthearted. Best for a room that hosts weekly recurring meetings.
12. Churro Chamber — Sweet, warm, and celebratory. A natural fit for the room where wins get announced and milestones get recognized.
13. Pho-nomenal — A pun. Some people will love it, some will groan. Either way, nobody forgets this room name.

European Classics

14. Baguette Boardroom — There's something about French bread that signals sophistication without effort. Good for client meetings or any room where you want to seem polished.
15. Schnitzel Suite — "Suite" upgrades this to a formal meeting space. The name is specific enough to be memorable but not so obscure that anyone needs it explained.
16. Pierogi Parlor — Pierogis are dumplings, comfort food, the kind of thing that makes people feel at home. "Parlor" adds a vintage warmth.

South Asian and Middle Eastern

17. Curry Corner — Simple, warm, and inviting. The double-C alliteration helps. Good for a smaller room where close conversations happen.
18. Tandoori Terrace — Tandoori cooking uses intense heat. The name has energy to it. "Terrace" suggests airiness — fitting for a room with natural light or a view.
19. Biryani Bunker — Biryani is layered and complex. "Bunker" suggests privacy — a good match for confidential discussions or focused work.

The Dessert Course

20. Tiramisu Tower — Tiramisu literally means "pick me up" in Italian. For a larger room or a multi-level space, this name adds a touch of sweetness to the end of the list.

Bringing the Theme to Life

You don't need to turn each room into a themed restaurant. A few light touches go a long way:

1. Pick a color palette that matches. Warm terracotta for Pasta Primavera. Clean white and dark wood for Sushi Roll. Subtle, not literal.
2. Put a fun fact on the door sign. "Dim Sum Den — dim sum means 'touch the heart' in Cantonese." It gives people something to read while they wait for the previous meeting to clear out.
3. Create a 'menu' of rooms. A simple directory styled like a menu — with room names, capacities, and floor locations — makes the theme functional, not just decorative.
4. Host a potluck to launch the names. Have each team bring a dish that matches their room. It's a low-cost way to make the names feel like an event rather than a memo.

The Practical Side

Food names make rooms memorable and meetings a little more fun. But fun room names don't help much if people can't figure out which rooms are available or keep double-booking the same space every Tuesday at 2pm.

As your team grows and the office gets busier, fitting everyone in means having a clear system for who's using what.

Once you've picked out names for your meeting rooms, you'll want a system to manage bookings and availability. WOX's room booking solution makes it easy to see which rooms are free, book recurring meetings, and keep everything organized — so your beautifully named rooms actually get used.

Bon appetit — and happy booking.
