Official Michelin Guide Partnership

Chef Life: A Restaurant Simulator is developed in partnership with the official Michelin Guide — the world's most prestigious culinary authority. The game's progression is built around earning Michelin stars — starting with one star and working toward the coveted three-star rating that represents the pinnacle of culinary excellence. The Michelin partnership lends the game an authenticity and prestige that sets it apart from other cooking simulations.

80+ Authentic Recipes to Master

Chef Life features over 80 authentic recipes spanning a wide range of culinary styles and techniques — from classic French cuisine and elegant seafood dishes to sophisticated desserts and innovative modern gastronomy. Each recipe requires precise preparation steps, correct cooking techniques, and careful attention to timing and presentation. Mastering the full recipe book is a deeply satisfying culinary journey that teaches real cooking concepts in an engaging and accessible way.

Full Restaurant Management

Beyond the kitchen, Chef Life puts you in charge of every aspect of your restaurant's operation — sourcing fresh ingredients from suppliers, managing your budget and finances, hiring and training front-of-house and kitchen staff, designing and decorating your restaurant's interior, and managing the dining room service during busy service periods. The depth of the management simulation gives Chef Life a satisfying complexity that rewards careful planning and strategic thinking.

Ingredient Sourcing & Kitchen Prep

Chef Life's kitchen gameplay is built around authentic culinary preparation — selecting the freshest ingredients from suppliers, prepping mise en place before service, and executing each dish with precision during the dinner rush. The quality of your ingredients and the care of your preparation directly impact the satisfaction of your customers and your progress toward Michelin star recognition.
