Awesome / Restaurant to Another World

• It's a credit to the Master's culinary skills that the Red Queen, practically a Physical God, considers his restaurant, and all those therein, a treasure worth a Declaration of Protection.
  • Also how he gets a brawl to stop before it even begins; all he has to do is threaten to never cook for the participants again and they quietly return to their seats to enjoy their meals.
• Lionel's backstory. He was forced into slavery and end up at the gladiatorial arena. But thanks to the Master's grandfather's pork cutlets, the Beast Man pulled a Heroic Second Wind and became champion, earning his freedom.
• The Restaurant has been at the center of many happenings in the fantasy world and changing a number of lives simply due to its' presence in that world every Saturday: from providing a safe haven for hungry adventurers and weary travelers, to jumpstarting a culinary arms race to recreate the restaurants' dishes, serving as a means for other nations to meet and peacefully negotiate with one-another, to even outright SAVING entire nations from disaster.
  • The two largest examples being saving a Duchy from a monster attack: simply because a Knight sent to Bring Help Back found the restaurants' door after nearly starving to death. While another time, a young man purchased a bag of Potatoes so he could make his Croquettes whenever he felt like it, and due to the newly-introduced Potato crop; the Cobblers' Tubers managed to solve a great famine that was affecting the Empire that the young man ruled over.
  • The best thing about all this; this is completely unknown to the Master; who simply sees all that is happening around him as being just another Saturday.
• While this is not really an action-orientated series, there are quite a few scenes that shows that several of the customers are no slouch in a fight:
  • Season 1, Episode 2: Sarah proves to be quite capable of dealing with some goblins that she missed, and given just how numerous they can be in some later episodes, strongly implies that she took them out with little more than a dagger. Heinrich also proves his mettle in a more indirect way, by riding (and then running) for a massive distance from a fortress to the Duchy for hours just to call for reinforcements against a horde of Mothmen. After his visit to Nekoya, he succeeds, and is rewarded with a castle as a result.
  • Season 1, Episode 5: Manticores are so dangerous that Lionel, a lion beastman substantially bigger than most of the other customers, outright considers it dangerous to fight if weakened. It's telling just how much Nekoya's food and the previous Masters' kindness empowered him to the point that he was able to kill it single-handedly.
  • Season 1, Episode 7: Alphonse' part is mainly in flashback, but he successfully takes on a horned wolf creature and breaks its horn with his dagger. In a different flashback, its revealed that he managed to take down a chimera with only a rapier. Very impressive given that he was likely starving a good chunk of the time, and he had to do this for twenty years to the point that local sirens call him "the Chimera Killer".
  • Season 2, Episode 1: Hilda proves herself a skilled mercenary when she manages to wipe out massive hordes of goblins by herself using her crossbow, especially given that the crossbow would require her to reload it quickly and having to evade faster melee attacks at the same time.
  • Season 2, Episode 10: Tatsugoro has only been hinted as a powerful samurai master through word of mouth and bardic tales, and he finally gets to show that his skills are no joke when he destroys a large pack of wraiths that were attacking the now-adventurers Jack, Terry, and Kenta. While he does debunk a few myths about himself (the bardic tales claim he slew 100 manticores), he does confirm that he did actually kill eight manticores by himself, something which deeply impresses the boys. When you take into consideration the previous entry on Lionel, and that Tatsugoro is much smaller than him with less reach, it ends up being no surprise why his skills are seen as legendary.
