The App Store listing counts 10+ cities, including Rome, Paris, Moscow and Beijing, 50+ restaurants such as Happy Bakery and Sushi King, over 300 foods and 2000+ levels with unique goals. Events add variety: Dinner Peak, Mini Café and a World Chef Leaderboard, plus monthly themed events built around holidays. Boosters such as special pans that stop food from overcooking and a Cook Helper make tough levels easier. The listing says no internet is required after the first install, and the game is rated 4+. US players rate it 4.8 out of 5 from 169K ratings, second only to Cooking Madness here. The drawbacks are a 1.2 GB download, the largest on this list, and advertising noted by the App Store.
