Eating is a very important component of your Final Fantasy XV adventure. It provide Noctis and his party with immense benefits across all attributes, and can either be purchased or made at campsites.
There are two ways to acquire food in Final Fantasy XV:
Cooking: Some recipes are extremely easy to come across, may involved some basic experimentation. Others require set objectives — like side quests or specific interactions — be met, and in some cases you may need to simply eat a similar meal at one of the restaurants. In a case where the “Learning Condition” is listed as another meal, just search for it under the “Restaurant Food” list.
Restaurants: Restaurants serve as the fastest and most efficient way to eat. However, they can often be expensive, and the best meals often tend to cost in the pricier side of things. If you have the time, you can always look for certain ingrediants and make a hearty meal yourself. The effects of made meals tend to be greater than restaurant-made meals, too.
In this guide we’ll take you through every meal available in the game, broken up into Restaurant Food — Gil Cost, Effect, and Where To Buy it — as well as Recipes, including the Skill Point (SP) gain, ingrediants required, effects, and learning condition.
