Our take on Restaurant Empire II
The defining structure is its blend of restaurant business management, role-playing activities, and a free-form sandbox, rather than a single linear campaign.
What is Restaurant Empire II?
Restaurant Empire II combines restaurant business management with role-playing gameplay and a free-form sandbox mode.
It includes four cities—Paris, Rome, Munich, and Los Angeles—and four cuisines: French, Italian, German, and American. Players can run restaurants, coffee shops, and dessert houses, choosing from more than 600 recipes, beverages, and delicacies. Two campaigns contain 34 missions: a new 16-mission campaign and an 18-mission remastered campaign from the original game. The game also includes more than 30 playable chefs, themed restaurants, 1,400 interior objects, cooking contests, rival buyouts, and scheduled performances by soloists, rock bands, and indoor circus performers.
