How many restaurants

Uhm, I'm far away from my game (another country even), so I might forget some, but here goes...

In Willow Creek (my Gloomville) I have one finer restaurant in what used to be a jazz/joke club/bar in the commercial area, and one outdoor restaurant with trad but cheap food at Muggerdale Market.
In Newcrest I have only one fastfood/burger restaurant serving both indoor and outdoors.
In Oasis Springs I have 2 restaurants, one is the large club with a mic stand in the corner (slightly rebuilt). The other is a finer experimental restaurant, in the building that I think used to be a museum or gallery.
No restaurant in San Myshuno yet, although I really want one finer restaurant there. Really wish there were more community lots...
No restaurant in Brindleton Bay, might add one later.

So - that will sdum up to 5 restaurants - I thought there would be more...

I try to have at least one in each world. I may have a couple worlds that have two. They're probably my favorite type of lot to visit because the autonomy is much less chaotic than in other venues.

I currently only have 2, both in Magnolia Promenade. The Sunny Side Diner and Chez Llama lol.

I believe 3 or 4. I agree on variety.

I think I have 7 or 8? I like to make more themed restaurants based on atmosphere and custom menu, rather than stick to the preset menus.

Willow Creek - 1 Italian food (employees wear pirate outfits)
Oasis spring - 1 American food + steaks (employees wear mexican sombreros)
NewCreast - 1 personal menu, diverse (employees wear red hats)
Magnolia Promenade - 1 sea food (usual outfits for restaurants)
Windenburg - 1 sea food, 1 experimental (blue outfils for sea food and fairies outfits for experimental)
San Myshuno - 1 personal menu, expensive (usual outfits for restaurants)
Forgotten Hallow - none
Brindleton Bay - 1 American food + sea food (employees wear rain hats)
Del Sol Valley (Selvadorada decor)- 1 personal menu - world tasty food (employees wear Selvadorada outfits)

9 restaurants in all. I like to have the employees wear outfits that matchs (in my head) the specifity of the restaurant.

too many... about 15... at least :D
New Creast consists only of restaurants LOL

I just addded one in Del Sol Valley so that makes it 9. Restaurants are my favourite comnunity lots :blush:

I forgot about the ones that are currently under construction
One Sim owns a Chain of Restaurants throughout the worlds,
The Golden Boar - My 4, almost 5 star restaurant, and HQ.
The Golden Whale - (Debating on Brindleton Bay or Windenburg)
The Golden Bear - (Debating on Oasis Springs or Windenburg)
The Golden Bull - Magnolia Promenade, Willow Creek

The Celtic Tavern/The Traverse Café.
6pm-1am, Tavern.
4am-3pm, Café.

The House of Jazz - Copy of the House of Blues.

6 restaurants.

I have 7 total restaurants in my game.

Like you, @aaronrulz, I like to have choices and variety but I do also feel like 7 is maybe overkill so what I do is make all the restaurants be dual-purpose lots. They have the 'restaurant' lot type, but I put other activities on the lot as well. One of my restaurants has a dance club on the second floor, another has a public pool behind it (and non-active sims actually DO use it), another has a lounge in one wing, complete with piano, microphone, guitar, etc., and yet another has a children's area on the 2nd floor, with all kind of activities for children and toddlers.

Basically, I like restaurants a lot...so I have a ton of them. By adding other activities to the lot I just make it so I don't have to have as many of some of the other lot types. As we get more neighborhoods, I'll be adding more...restaurants are literally the ONLY lot type that I make sure I have at least 1 of in every neighborhood and some hoods get 2.
