 Ten Places Even the Picky Eater Should Know
by minniemouseluvr9
--------
Neopians everywhere are hungry. Some like to snack and some like to pig-out. Some
are starving and some are bloated. Some like expensive fine dining and others
prefer the casual pick-it-up-and-go. What ever they like, all Neopets are hungry.
I’ve put together a guide of the top ten eating establishments in Neopia. All
places are rated out of 5 (5 being the best) by cost, cleanliness, service, and
where they are located, and are given a number of stars (*) with a detailed paragraph
about each one. All restaurants were rated by the public and no names will be
released. Owner names will not be released unless granted permission to do so.
Number 10: Soup Faerie’s Kitchen *
Cost: Free -if you have under 3,000 NP
Cleanliness: 1 -She’s so busy she doesn’t have time to clean.
Service: Slow(2)- The Soup Faerie is the only one working there and there is
so many Neopets!
Location: Neopian Central
The Soup Faerie’s Kitchen is widely know all across Neopia. Almost everyone
has gone there at least once and you can even get an avatar from there. The
Soup Faerie works mostly alone in the kitchen making all kinds of soup for poor
Neopians. She has to limit the people who come by the amount of neopoints they
have or she’d never have a break. Besides this, the turn downs are its cleanness
and service. Otherwise, some love to just hang out there because the Soup Faerie
is always friendly and cheerful.
Number 9: The Giant Omelette *
Cost: Free
Cleanliness: 1- it’s on dry mud!
Service: Pretty good (3)- It doesn’t take long but many are afraid of Sabre-X,
the guard.
Location: Tyrannia
The Omelette is found in Tyrannia and used by millions. That’s the bad part.
Other than not knowing where this thing came from in the first place, many are
turned away by the fact it runs out sometimes and that it’s sitting on dirt.
Sabre-X also makes sure you only get one piece a day which frightens some younger
Neopians off. Its main attraction is that it is free.
Number 8: Pizzaroo **
Cost: Ranges- Never too expensive
Cleanliness: Pretty good (3)- Sauce gets everywhere and so does his mustache.
Service: Pretty good (3)- His main flaw is that he’s always running out.
Location: Neopian Central
Everyone loves pizza and Neopians are no exception. His pizza isn’t the best
but it sure is better than most. Many cannot understand the Blumaroo’s accent.
No one likes to wait for pizza and Pizzaroo is always running out. What grosses
customers out most is finding a long, black mustache hair baked into the cheese.
Number 7: Qasalan Delights **
Cost: Above average
Cleanliness: Pretty good (3)- Who wants sand in their food?
Service: Good (3.5)- Often runs out, but there is a lot of selection.
Location: Lost Desert
Though the food is a little pricey it still brings in lots of customers. In
the future, Qasalan Delights may move up in rank. Remember, the place hasn’t
been around too awful long. With the sand storms and rebuilding of Qasala, dirt
and sand can occasionally get into food. Still, Neopians come far and wide to
taste some of the rarest delicacies in the world. Like Pizzaroo, this store
runs out of food often, but makes up for it by its wide selection.
Number 6: Chocolate Factory ***
Cost: Ranges- always affordable
Cleanliness: Unknown.
Service: Good (3.5)- There is almost always something in stock.
Location: Neopian Central
Not too terribly much is known about this marvelous place, other than that
the chocolate that comes out of it is absolutely delicious. No one ever goes
in or out of this place so much that most of its status is unknown. It would
probably be higher up in rank if they’d stop shooting chocolate balls at the
health inspector. The main reason the Chocolate Factory is so successful is
that it is in the heart of all the chocolate lovers; Neopia Central. If there
is one place to take your sweetheart, it is the Chocolate Factory. The Chocolate
Factory can also get you an avatar.
Number 5: Grundos Café ***
Cost: Ranges- almost always affordable
Cleanliness: 2- it is just never cleaned.
Service: Very Good (4)- just don’t anger the cook!
Location: Space Station
The Grundos Café is known everywhere that it can be heard. Now that Dr. Sloth
is gone, Neopians are free to roam and enjoy this scrumptious eating establishment.
The service is extraordinary as long as you don’t upset the cook. Though usually
grumpy, he is fun and makes the best meals. No wonder everyone comes to the
Space Station. The problem is getting there though.
Number 4: Health Food ***
Cost: Above average- it costs to stay healthy
Cleanliness: 5- it is a HEALTH store after all...
Service: Okay (2.5)- some hired employees think they are better than everyone
because they work at the Health Food store.
Location: Neopia Central
It may be expensive but the store is in a great place. Most people go here
because it is convenient. Its sparkling floors and clear windows are nice, but
7 out of 10 Neopians think that Health Food has taken the ‘Veggie thing’ too
far. The selection is fantastic. There are more than three varieties of a food
to choose from: organic, regular, and more! If Health Food was just a little
friendlier they could be right on top.
Number 3: Food Shop- Gourmet Club ****
Cost: Expensive
Cleanliness: Pretty good (3)- with some members pigging out, it is hard to
stay clean.
Service: Very good (4)- You provide the food, they give you a place to eat
it.
Location: Neopia Central
The reason the Gourmet Club is so high is because it is an exclusive club that
everyone wants to belong to. If you think about it, supplying your own food
isn’t that great, but hanging out with people in the dining hall is. Seated
in the main part of Neopia, the Gourmet Club is the center of attention. They
eat even more food every time a record is broken. Make sure you add the Health
Food club into your day too or you may end up really, really heavy.
Number 2: Neolodge Restaurant ****
Cost: Reasonable
Cleanliness: Depends where you are staying.
Service: Depends where you are staying.
Location: Neopia Central
Many forget about this the wonderful little place. The dining is grand and
festive in the higher hotel classes. It is still great even in lower hotels
although it isn’t as clean. The service is still dependable in the Cockroach
Towers. The Neolodge is the number one hotel choice in Neopia. The down side
to eating at the restaurant is that you must have a reservation to eat there.
Number 1: Kelp *****
Cost: Expensive
Cleanliness: Great (5)- it is under water after all.
Service: Great (5)
Location: Maraqua
The view is beautiful, the atmosphere is exceptional, and the food is delicious.
Only the best are hired so that your visit is the best it can be. The food is
so good and you can bring so home with you. The only downside is that it is
very expensive. Kelp is the number one place to eat on both Neopia and the Space
Station. Kelp is flourishing everywhere and it is not a very old restaurant
either. Make sure you get a reservation because it is so hard to get in. You
can also earn an avatar from Kelp.
Now that you’ve seen all the establishments (or at least the top 10) that
Neopia has to offer, I encourage you to get out there and try them all. No matter
what the food is or how hard it is to get there, as long as you like it, go
eat! If you can’t decide where to go, head for Neopia Central because as you
saw, most of the restaurants are there. Don’t have enough money? Always remember:
Your home is the best place to eat.
