In the games
Pokémon X and Y
The restaurant can be accessed from Hibernal Avenue; however, the player can only enter after having become the Champion. Its menu offers Double Battles, Triple Battles and Rotation Battles. For Double Battle meals, the Trainers do not use the first of their Pokémon listed below.
The Trainers here have teams where all three Pokémon have something in common.
- Owner Christophe's first battle uses Pokémon that have Abilities that activate on contact and know Confide.
- Owner Christophe's second battle uses Pokémon that have moves that restore HP. Pain Split, while not considered such a move, will restore HP if the user's HP is lower than the target's.
- Garçon Morris' first battle uses Pokémon that know counterattacks.
- Garçon Morris' second battle uses Pokémon that know moves with increased priority, each also knowing Protect.
- Waitress Paula's Pokémon only know Echoed Voice.
Each course of the meal requires a specific amount of time to settle to be perfectly ready to be eaten, so the employee that brought out the food will challenge the player to a Pokémon battle to pass that time. The employee will tell the player exactly how many turns the battle should take to give the dish the perfect taste.
The courses and their battles all occur in a row, with the player given no opportunity to switch the positions of Pokémon or use items in between, but the player's entire party will automatically be healed between each battle. The Trainers will often use turn-wasting strategies involving moves like Fly and Protect, flinch-inducing, as well as evasion-increasing Abilities like Snow Cloak, complicating the player's attempts to meet the turn requirement.
After battling through each course of the meal, the player will receive some number of Balm Mushrooms as a reward. How many depends on the number of the player's Pokémon that fainted during the meal and if the battles were won in the proper number of turns. For each faint or turn difference, the player will receive one Balm Mushroom fewer than a perfect meal would have earned.
If the player finishes a meal perfectly, a ★ appears next to that meal, and the player will be able to give a tip of $10,000. When all meals are completed perfectly, the owner will start to greet the player like a frequent customer. In addition, as the player's style goes up, the restaurant will begin to offer a 10% discount.
