I can’t count the amount of times I’ve wanted to create a specific menu theme in The Sims 4 Dine Out but haven’t known where to begin. With all of the food options, it can be overwhelming to narrow down specific cuisines. Especially when it’s impossible to know the regions for every single one. Whether you want to build an Asian, European, Middle Eastern, South American, Mexican, or American Restaurant, I have you covered! I have proudly done my research and compiled all of the details so you don’t have to. It’s time to make the restaurant of your Sims dreams.
Author’s note: I did my best to research each of these dishes and input their region based on Google searches. However, if any of these are under the wrong cuisine (or fits under multiple cuisines) please let me know!
Please also note that these foods are from an array of Sims 4 packs and you may or may not have them available in your game depending on which packs you own.
Restaurant Cuisines for The Sims 4 Dine Out
While creating my database, it came as no surprise that American style food was the most prominent. However, there was also plenty of Asian, Middle Eastern, South American, and European options. I’ve listed below the most prominent food cuisines that could have a restaurant dedicated entirely to them:
- American
- Mexican
- Chinese
- Japanese
- Southeast Asian
- French
- Italian
- British
- Middle Eastern
- South American
Other cuisines featured with limited options included Korean, Vietnamese, Pacific Rim, and Indian. Of course, there are also two unique cuisines exclusive to the Sims universe, Sims Food and Experimental Sims Food. Aside from those, if you own the Star Wars pack, you can have a Star Wars themed menu as well.
