BEST ADVENTUROUS RESTAURANT
1st Place – Knalltute – Shadowland
Knalltute says: “Halloween itself inspires me every year, I like the spooky atmosphere a lot. [I've been playing] since autumn 2009 [and I will] donate some [of the cooking cash] to designing contests in our great RC forum and spend some for beautiful decorative items.”
BEST REALISTIC RESTAURANT
1st Place – Pyrographer – The Pepper Mill
Pyrographer says: “My design was inspired by the Pizzeria (it’s so cute) and the Venetian deco items (they are so beautiful). I’m also inspired by the design competition we hold in the Forum Gallery. I have played Restaurant city since August of 2009 and I love it!!! [I'm also] the organizer for the Restaurant of the Month competition in the Forum Gallery for the month of December, so I will probably [my cooking cash] for prizes.

BEST ROMANTIC RESTAURANT
1st Place – Scouse Thumper – Breeze Hotel
Scouse Thumper says: “My design was insipeed by the idea of a romantic hotel for adults. I have been playing for around 2-3 years and im not sure what I will spend my cooking cash on, hopefully some great Christmas items.”
BEST MESSAGE IN A RESTAURANT
1st Place – Vcshox – Seashore Castle
This entry won by public vote and I think it’s a really beautiful little design. In their submission, Vcshox said: “I heard a lot [of stories] about prince and princess in my childhood, I always dreaming on live in castle . . . But when I tripped to Germany, I saw many real castle close to Seine river . . . I love bird’s sounds [it] make[s] me feel peaceful.”
BEST NATIONAL RESTAURANT
1st Place – Willrox – Greek Getaway
Willrox said: “I saw the competition on the [Restaurant City] forum, and even though I don’t do many designs decided to give it a shot. I had always loved the Greek theme, ever since it had come out, and also loved the idea of a little cafe, so I decided to combine the two into one and see how it went. Surprisingly, I received really positive feedback and I was really pleased I’ve been playing since 2009, but I’ve been on and off. Stopped for around year, but came back at around the time of the Karaoke Bar, which was also around the same time at which I joined the forums. Have met lots of wonderful friends that I would never have had the experience to meet if it weren’t for the forums; I’m really glad I joined! 100 Cooking Cash… WOW! It will be divided, definitely some of it will go towards contests on the forum, some will go to people that I know, who can’t afford cooking cash items, and some might join my personal collection “
Keep an eye out for our next competition, cooks, and remember, you never know if you could win until you try! – Maggie x
