How many restaurants

I think it's 4, a fancy experimental food one, a seafood one, Italian, and a diner.

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

In my main save I have about six and in my alternate save I only have 2 so far.

I feel like I have TOO many in my main save but I really like to have variety and I do have to stop myself from adding others with themes I don't have so far.
Here is what I have so far, most of them are from the gallery:
Willow Creek: A vegetarian restaurant (custom menu) where the jazz nightclub once stood. I do plan on replacing that one with one that I created using the original building but as I have just placed the veggie restaurant in the game, I'll probably do it later. The one I created is a posh (formal wear required) experimental restaurant. A nice spot for an important, romantic date.
Oasis Spring: Has two restaurants. A spagetti western themed restaurant (custom menu) and an icecream parlour (custom menu).
Newcrest: A brunch restaurant and the Maxis Chez Llama experimental restaurant (going to remove it when I put one of my own in WC).
San Myshuno: A seafood restaurant in the Old Salt House, renovated by me. The theme is the sea, the coast and the colors yellow and blue.

I do think that both Brindleton Bay and Windenburg could use a nice restaurant or two but I think that might be me going overboard. Six restaurants I think is quite enough. I do have an alternate saved game to play in now. There is plenty of room there :wink:

I would love to add an american diner (there are so many great ones on the Gallery) complete with a gas station pumps. I am also partial to a mexican themed one and even a french themed restaurant. I also have an idea of renovating the Brindleton Bay bar (by the docks) into a pirate themed restaurant.

My alternate saved game has a barn that is a diner (custom menu btw) in Newcrest and my experimental one I mentioned above in Willow Creek that I created out of the Willow Creek Jazz Night Club. This saved game is very young and doesn't really have many community lots other than those that are shipped with the game.

I have six currently.

Willow creek has a custom Asian restaurant that replaced the gym.
Oasis Springs has a Selvadorada themed restaurant that replaced the bar.
Newcrest has a fancy Italian restaurant.
San Myshuno has an experimental restaurant the replaced the lounge.
Magnolia Promendade has Chez Lama, but I havent used it in forever, I think it's time for a change.
Granite Falls I replaced one of the cabins with a pancake house/country style restaurant.

I used to have a diner and a sushi styled restaurant, but for the moment they are in the library.
