Vacation Cafe Simulator
Vacation Cafe Simulator releases on August 20, 2026, for PC. Developed and published by Alice Games, this first-person restaurant management game puts players in charge of a relaxed Italian vacation cafe where traditional cooking and business growth replace the usual time pressure of restaurant simulators. Players prepare pizza, pasta, bruschetta, and other dishes through cooking minigames, serve customers, expand the menu, purchase equipment, customize the interior, visit nearby farms, wineries, and shops, and operate the cafe alone or with friends through online co-op.

Review

Vacation Cafe Simulator deliberately avoids turning every meal into a race against a countdown. Customers still expect food and service, but the design favors steady expansion and experimentation over the constant pressure normally associated with restaurant games.
Cooking is handled through individual minigames rather than a single interaction button. Pizza, pasta, bruschetta, drinks, and other Italian dishes require different preparation steps, giving the menu some mechanical variety as additional recipes become available.
Money earned from customers feeds directly back into the cafe. Better equipment expands what can be prepared, while furniture and decoration allow players to reshape the interior around their preferred style. The surrounding area is also part of the progression loop. Farms, wineries, shops, and other nearby locations provide ingredients and opportunities outside the restaurant itself.
Online co-op should work especially well with the structure. Friends can divide cooking, service, exploration, and other responsibilities instead of crowding around the same task. The absence of strict timers also makes cooperative mistakes less punishing.
Its intentionally relaxed design may be too light for players who enjoy difficult economic management. The long-term loop will depend on whether new recipes, equipment, locations, and customer demands continue introducing meaningful decisions after the cafe is established.
Verdict: A relaxed Italian restaurant simulator that favors cooking variety, customization, exploration, and cooperative play over stressful time management.
