Cooking Diary®: Restaurant Game is a free simulation that puts you in charge of your grandfather’s restaurants as he retires. Your goal is to develop your cooking skills and build your own reputation in the culinary world, managing multiple restaurants and diverse cuisines along the way.

Cooking and management in one

Cooking Diary®: Restaurant Game offers a wide variety of recipes from global cuisines, giving you hands-on experience in the kitchen. Beyond cooking, you also manage restaurant operations, making sure customers are satisfied and everything runs smoothly. Juggling these tasks adds depth and variety to gameplay.

The story injects humor and features memorable characters that bring the game to life. However, the challenge ramps up quickly. Levels become increasingly difficult and often feel nearly impossible without purchasing upgrades. Although this management game is free to play, progress can be frustratingly slow unless you’re willing to spend money.

A flavorful experience 

Overall, Cooking Diary®: Restaurant Game delivers an engaging mix of cooking and management with a fun storyline. While the gameplay is enjoyable, its heavy reliance on in-app purchases for progression might discourage players who prefer a fair challenge without spending.
