Restaurant (Final Fantasy XV)

The player can visit restaurants in Final Fantasy XV to talk to the local tipster, eat food for buffs, and to take on and hand in hunts. Crow's Nest is a fast food chain with restaurants at various outposts with the same menu items, but the restaurants usually vary in menu and price.

Talk
Talking to the tipster can reveal markers on the map for new outposts, parking spots, havens, procurement points for minerals and food ingredients, treasures, quest locations and fishing spots.

Eat
The player can choose food to eat from the menu. Different dishes vary in pricing and in the buffs they yield. Positive statuses from food are persistent over time and are displayed in blue at the bottom center of the screen with a meter showing how much time is left. They affect the whole party, including guest members but excluding chocobos, who can only be fed at camp. Restaurant meals' effects last a fixed 24 in-game hours.

Some restaurants get new menu items as a result of the player completing quests. Ignis sometimes learns new recipes for eating new food at a restaurant.

Hunt
Each restaurant has a number of hunts the player can undertake—quests to fell certain enemies ar a certain location, usually somewhere near the tipster's location. Completed hunts can be turned in to any tipster, even to restaurants that don't have the hunt option. Hunts can be re-done. Hunts are ranked, and the player cannot take on hunts that are higher level than their hunter rank.
