How Many Ingredients Do You Really Need in Restaurant City?

Restaurant City Mastery

Anyone who has ever played Restaurant City can tell you that the key to being successful in the game is to spend some time gathering as many ingredients as possible. They are the lifeblood of the game in more than one way. First off, they are the easiest way to interact with other players and be social in a game that is designed to be social. Second, they allow you to start and enjoy your own garden – something that no other cooking game on Facebook allows. Finally, and most importantly, they are what allows you to level up your dishes. When those dishes are leveled up, you get more GP, more coins, and more popularity rating for every customer served.

How Do You get New Ingredients?

The big question then is how to get those ingredients. By default, the methods to getting ingredients are rather limited. Every day you will get one for free just for logging in. You will also get a chance at a second one by answering the daily quiz question correctly. After that though, it is entirely up to you whether you will gain any more than 2 for the day.

One way to get more is to go out and farm them yourself after you hit level 16 and have your garden. This is rather expensive though, almost as much so as buying them directly from the marketplace, where they will range between 2500 and 4000 coins each (way more than you should ever spend). You can alternately buy them with Playfish Cash – but that costs you real world money that you likely don’t want to spend.

Finally, you can get them from your friends. There are two ways to do this. The first is to trade with your friends – a good way to get them if you know you only need a select number and there are plenty of ingredients you’re willing to get rid of.

However, if that fails, you can also find new friends in the game. Once you add them, you are permitted to go to their restaurant and get a free ingredient for that first visit. The more friends you gather, the more ingredients you can gather with this method.

Start Early

The bottom line is that ingredients are the fundamental basis of this game. Without them, you’ll never level up your dishes and it will take months to get anywhere near the top level and a place where you can buy new items. However, if you go out and work hard for new ingredients early enough, you’ll quickly find that you can load up on everything you need with days and weeks on your route to gourmet street.
