Restaurant to Another World

"Restaurant to Another World" (Japanese: 異世界食堂, Isekai Shokudō) is a Japanese light novel series written by Junpei Inuzuka and illustrated by Katsumi Enami. The story revolves around the "Western Cuisine Nekoya" restaurant, located in an ordinary shopping district in Tokyo. While seemingly a normal Western-style restaurant, every Saturday, its doors connect to another world, attracting fantastical creatures such as elves, dragons, and beastmen. They enjoy dishes that are ordinary to humans but exotic and novel to them. Originally serialized as a web novel on the user-generated content site "Shōsetsuka ni Narō" in 2013, it was later published as a light novel by Shufunotomo in 2015, with six volumes released. The series has also been adapted into two seasons of anime television series, with the first season produced by Silver Link airing in 2017 and the second season by OLM airing in 2021. Additionally, there is a manga adaptation illustrated by Takaaki Kugatsu, as well as a second manga adaptation illustrated by Morozawa Yamizawa.
