What is Restaurant Empire II?
This restaurant management sim takes place across Paris, Rome, Munich, and Los Angeles. You set up and run restaurants, coffee shops, and dessert houses, choosing recipes and decor and hiring performers. You can play two mission-based campaigns or a free-form sandbox; the newer campaign follows the Lebouf family through marriage and business challenges.
