I tell ya in my personal opinon, this anime and Rokuhoudou are better then Food wars because they concentrate on each individual who visits the places personally as well as liking the food to themselves rather then ripping their clothes and making your cringy sounds while they eat the food. Yeah compare each foodie anime and you'll understand exactly what I mean folks.

I like the fact this anime gave us a mixture of Japanese and European food. Actually never seen European food ever appear on anime before so it was a nice surprise! I probably seen some Italian dishes in Food Wars but yeah let's sweep that under the carpet for now haha. The characters were great, I really liked the demon girl and the elf girl who worked with the chef. He'd be a great boss to work with if only there were many like him! Seriously kudos to Christopher R. Sabat, Jill Harris and Monica Rial for voicing them well!

This anime is totally for you foodie lovers to give it a try!

This anime series is set in the 'Western Restaurant Nekoya'. This is ostensibly an ordinary restaurant that serves both Western and Japanese cuisine during the week. However on Saturdays a door will appear is various mystical or alien realms that leads to the restaurant and those who find the way there can enjoy its delicious, but unpretentious, food. The clientele includes dragons, elves, beast men and other such creatures. It is run by an unnamed middle aged chef who, in the opening episode meets Aletta, a homeless demon girl, who has found one of the doors; he offers her a job and now she works as a waitress each Saturday. Later in the series they are joined by Kuro, a dragon who takes the form of a black-haired girl who communicates telepathically. Over the course of the series a variety of customers discover the restaurant and new interesting foods… occasionally arguing about which is the best.

This is one of those series where little really happens; each episode a new character or two seems to discover a door to the restaurant and be wowed by the food they are served… often one serving is not enough. They all seem to like the first thing they try and then wouldn't think of ordering something else which seems a little strange. This doesn't really matter as the food is just a way of showing us new characters and a little bit about their lives before they find the restaurant. The main cast, those who work at the restaurant, are likable and their guests are fairly interesting. Overall this is one of those gentle series that is pleasant while one watches but I suspect won't be remembered long after it has finished; still it is inoffensive and passes the time nicely… it might also make the viewer hungry.

These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.

This anime is literally the chillest anime you will ever watch. Yes its also about food, and it all takes place in one restaurant. But there is a twist, this restaurant is able to travel to different worlds, with new and diverse patrons to come in and try the humble chefs delectable food. There are dragons, elves, monsters, dwarves, mermaids and even fairies, that all come to one place to enjoy simple but mouth watering food. The characters are incredible, and their stories of what brings them to the restaurant are very engaging. This is basically ratatouille if it was an anime. It captures that wholesome feeling of sitting with friends and enjoying a nice hot meal, forgetting about all your problems. If you need to take a break from reality, help yourself to this dish.

If i would win the jackpot i would pay for a season 3 of this anime with full artistic freedom to the original creators.

I love light hearted feelgood atmosphere and the way each character loves their favorite dish.

How Alphonse remained sane during his 20 years of solitude on a deserted island because he 'only needed to wait 7 days for a 1000 times'. How the dragon of death finds a place to enjoy life. The immature love of the prince of the land of sand. Small light hearted stories with people discovering their favorite dish.

I've seen this series more than 5 times with my daughters now and will probably see it another 5 times. Absolutely love it.
