Cooking Diary® Restaurant Game in IOS

Chef, time to cook tasty food!

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

94/100

Cooking Diary is essentially the 'Gold Standard' of the time-management cooking genre. While many games in this category feel like reskins of each other, Cooking Diary succeeds by wrapping its frantic gameplay in a genuinely engaging narrative. You aren't just a faceless chef; you're the heir to a culinary empire in the city of Tasty Hills, and the story beats between levels keep you motivated to see what happens next.

The customization options are unparalleled. You can decorate your restaurants to your heart's content and dress up your avatar in hundreds of different outfits. More importantly, the gameplay curve is perfectly tuned. It starts off easy but eventually requires surgical precision to manage orders, drinks, and side dishes simultaneously. The social aspects, like joining a 'Guild' and participating in 'Chef's Tournaments,' make it feel like a living, breathing community. It is polished, addictive, and deeply satisfying.
