The party at a Crow's Nest Diner restaurant.
Looking for super seafood? Look no further than Mother of Pearl in Galdin Quay. The ferry may be out of service, but the head chef assures me the fishing boats still haul in their daily catch. Why sail to Altissia when freshness is a short drive away? Head chef, Coctura Arlund, let me sample a few dishes, and it's true: fresh fish makes for fine eats!

Restaurants are locations in Final Fantasy XV. The player can visit 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 otherwise restaurants vary in menu and price. Restaurants commonly have radios the player can listen to.
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[]
Train car diner.
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 persist 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 a menu item as a recipe when eating it at a restaurant.
Hunt[]
Each restaurant has a number of hunts the player can undertake—quests to fell certain enemies at a certain location, usually somewhere near where the tipster is found. Completed hunts can be turned in to any tipster, even to restaurants that don't have the hunt option. Hunts can be repeated. Hunts are ranked, and the player cannot take on hunts that are higher level than their hunter rank. The player can accept up to ten hunts at once.[note 1]

Behind the scenes[]
Square Enix Cafe.
Moogle Chocobo Carnival and Final Fantasy XV: Assassin's Festival had Square Enix Cafe as a restaurant where the plater can order dishes that were available in the real life version of the location. Eating in the Square Enix Café in the DLC episodes was free.
The cartoon character on Semur Skewers is Li'l Malbuddy. This dish also featured in Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV as the food the friends eat at Yamachang's street food joint.
