About the Game

Take the reins of your dream restaurant

Choose and customise dozens of kitchen components (cooking surfaces, food processors, ovens, etc.) to build your dream kitchen! Before firing up your burners, organise your team and manage your suppliers to obtain premium ingredients that would impress the most demanding of gourmets.
Track your finances and predict how busy you will be so you are not overwhelmed by the dinner rush!

A menu built around your own tastes

Are you more of a bœuf bourguignon or caccio e pepe type of chef? Build your menu around classic dishes from French, Italian and international cuisine! Are you looking to go beyond just basic recipes? Improve them and take them to new gastronomic heights! Adapt your menu to the seasons and your customers' expectations to make a name for yourself.

Chop, grill, bake, mix and more!

Your cooking and management skills will be put to the test during each service. Your team will provide invaluable help for satisfying your demanding customers. Manage the cutting, cooking and all the preparation, right up to plating where you can add your creative touch.

From local café to Michelin-starred restaurant

Learn how to keep your customers loyal and grow your restaurant. Learn new recipes and refine your cooking skills. Do you want to become the neighbourhood's favourite hotspot, or will you pursue fine dining and ultimately earn a prestigious star from the Michelin Guide?

Despite the hours I put into the game when it still worked, I have to change my review after spending 2 years communicating with Cyanide support. Do not buy this game, the DLC that came out in 2024 completely broke the

ABANDONWARE The game is unfinished, there are game-breaking bugs, but the developer has abandoned the project. The worst thing is that you cannot promote your sous-chef beyond a certain level, the quests will not finish

I liked how this game has cooking in first-person view with walking in third-person rather than having the walking in first person. This helped prevent nausea for me. The cooking is really fun and I enjoyed the variety

I love how detailed this game is. The food looks incredible from prep to getting to plate it how you'd like. I think the customer's get too fast too quickly, so it's nice to have so many gameplay options that allow this
