Same kind of setting, with one centered on a Japanese restaurant/cafeteria and the other centered on a Japanese pub. Both have their doors connected to another world.
These two anime can't help but invite comparison to each other. Isekai Izakaya is more on the food porn spectrum whereas Isekai Shokudou is more about how food changes the customers' lives. But the bonus ending material of Isekai Izakaya makes it worth watching- there is either a reimagined recipe or a guided trip to a specialty shop that sells the food in the episode.
If you have fun watching to how people from isekai react to "our" (japanese) food. The unbelievable feeling of experiencing a certain type of food the first time or seeing someone orgasm after eating ordinaryl beans then these animes are for you.
One would think why make another anime that is just like Isekai Shoukoudou, but they do have their differences. Izakaya focuses more on the food while characters are more in a background and food is the main focus. Isekai shoukoudou focuses more on characters and their background and how they managed to find their way to "this" restaurant and meeting all the other people from other worlds, that they would never meet otherwise.
The other difference is that Izakaya is just 10 minutes + 5 minutes of a real-life dude showing off his cooking skills.read more
Both stories are about a japanese restaurant thats connected to another world.
The customers in both stories are always impressed by the food served there.
The dishes are always looking tasty and superb.
If you like anime with tasty looking food there these are for you.
Same setting of a food place with a magical door linking to an isekai world. Both owners able to get food from their own world through the back door.
Main difference is one tailors to Western food whereas one tailors to Japanese food.
Izakaya is lively in atmosphere whereas Shokudou is more refined in the sense it's like something out of a fairy tale book.
Izakaya has bonus features at the end of an episode using real life footage of how to make foods or showing food places to visit in Tokyo whereas Shokudou doesn't.
Isekai Shokudou and Isekai Izakaya, as well as having a really alike name, share the concept of tasty-looking food given to people living in other worlds (Isekai). While Isekai Izakaya is linked to one specific medieval world, Isekai Shokudou is connecting to multiple worlds and contains more mystery and magic.
Most of the episodes of Isekai Izakaya happen in the pub, while Isekai Shokudou focus a bit more on the different protagonists and their specific worlds - until their arrival to the restaurant.
Both show put lot of importance into the food, from the way it looks to the tasting-review.
As a bonus, Isekai Izakaya comes with two bonus-ending corners. One in which a cook re-do a custom recipe linked with the episode, and the other with a foodie going to restaurants in Japan serving the same food. read more
Similar laid-back food vibe. Izakaya takes a slightly different approach and has some real-world segments, which get more fun as the show goes on. Give it some time, but Izakaya really grows on you! The recipes they show feature mostly traditional Japanese dishes, but a wide variety of them.
Both food based anime with similar anime styles, cute girls as fanservice, and an intense focus on descriptions, food reactions, and Japanese food culture.
Both are cooking anime with a focus on describing food. Whilst Shokugeki is a more shonen style food competition, Isekai Shokudou is a more laid back anime with each episode following a new customer with no real meta-plot but continuity between episodes.
Both anime take an untraditional spin on cooking show. While Shokugeki no Souma does it in battle shounen style, Isekai Shokudou does it in isekai style. Both feature detailed animation depicting food, detailed description of the taste and of course, foodgasms.
Food, munch, chow, sustenance, however you think of it , both have it, so it's "FOOD PORN, Baby" you know you gotta have it...even if it's just in the anime.........
Both anime heavily involve food. They both showcase VERY aesthetically pleasing dishes along with how they're made! One big difference between the two is that Shokugeki's MC is focused on for the majority of the anime, while Isekai Shokudou tends to focus more on the numerous recurring characters.
Both the anime has the similar of style of making food and making other to eat and we get to see their satisfied faces but they don't have the competitive part in common
Cooking is main focus for both, and the overall pacing and tone is very similar. Shokudou is more "static", being based in a restaurant environment, and not on travel, but it has bigger cast with a lot of interesting characters to add outside perspective.
Cooking Japanese food for fantasy world audiences. One is in a restaurant setting, the other is a portable camping setting. Campfire cooking also has more main character depth and story, versus one-off stories about diners.
Cooking in another world continues!! This time with a splash of more adventure and lots of fried foods. The main character isn't a professional chef, so some of these recipes are do-able at home! Laid-back and chill.
Both are slow paced, episodic, and have a "feel good" theme. They both take place in a "hole in the wall." While Bartender explains how to make the drink, Isekai doesn't explain how the dish was made.
I would say the two most similar animes for this would be Bartender and Shokugeki no Souma.
Bartender and this anime has a lot of similarities and I mean A LOT.
The attitudes of both masters of the restaurants/bar have pretty much the same attitude. Humble, respectful, and a level of professionalism.
The music taste is also similar.
The general feel of awe is the same.
The biggest differences are the comedy elements of each character and the fantasy-based theme of Isekai Shokudou vs. supposedly a more realistic theme in Bartender.
Now for the similarities and differences compared to Shokugeki no Souma.
The food looks amazing in both animes.
SNS is more of a competitive anime.
There's fun humor in both.
SNS has more detail in cooking.
No ecchi. No foodgasms.
All in all, I really do like Isekai Shokudou more because it was fun and entertaining in a way that wasn't stressful. It was a light-hearted anime that anybody could honestly enjoy if you want to watch the history of each of its customers. But for the people who want more depth in the story, definitely check out Shokugeki no Souma and all its seasons.
But Bartender is by far the most similar in the atmosphere if nothing else. The idea of a small humble place that has interesting characters and stories, a very respectful host, and beautiful drinks and even in the end shows you how to make them during the ED song. The music is also soothing.

Both are episodic, slow paced, and the mc way to treat costumers are kinda similar
One (Bartender) show us drinks and the other (Isekai) show us food, but in pretty similar ways, the feeling is the same
Both shows follow a picaresque with the main focus changing each time but with 2 main character to cheer on (much like Bartender), both are about food and drink becoming the main draw of the show to bring people into the story. It differs from Bartender as it becomes more about who the character in general rather. Restaurant to Another World is still quite a complex world (or worlds I should say) but using the raw concept of fantasy and bring it all together. It's a little bit more faster paced than Bartender but think of it as Ryuu's older cousin opened a Restaurant.
Relaxing anime about periodically enjoying simple but delicious food in eatery. While Wakako-zake is pure slice of life, Restaurant from Another World has a fantasy element to it.
Actually, what is the main thing the characters of Isekai Shokusou do is enjoying food prepared by Tenshu. The same thing is about Wakako! She likes visiting bars, ordering delicious dishes for the alcohol and describing her feelings about the taste in the tiniest details. Both animes show us very appetitive dishes and make our mouth filled with our saliva.
both are isekai with heavy food elements Kakuriyo has a romance element with connected plot but Isekai Shokudou is just a slice of life with each episodes focusing on the customers with a slight thread of a connected plot
If you want an anime that inspires you to cook, and makes you want to taste the delicious meal they make watch these two. They are quite similar in that case. They also offer a similar setting as both cooks make meals from our world to a more magical world.
Both anime about restaurant customers who are eat unknown dishes of eastern and western cuisine. In Piace: Watashi no Italian customers are people, and in Isekai Shokudoucu stomers are fantastic creatures from another world.
Not an isekai or in a fantasy world, but still a really cute, light-hearted cooking show (this time featuring Italian food!) These are shorter episodes (10 mins long) and the dialogue goes by super fast, so speed-reading or pause button recommended!
Although stories are quite different they both have the same tranquility. Flying witch is funnier than Isekai Shokudou but both of them will put a feel-good smile on your face.
This may seem like a stretch, but hear me out. Both share a similar episodic nature, with each episode featuring new characters coming to an other-worldly place (be it a restaurant or a bar) and being attended to (be it for a nice meal or a game-of-death). The respective locations are also overseen by a seasoned male server (the Owner of Western Restaurant Nekoya and Decim the bartender) who has recently taken a newcomer female under his wing (Aletta and Chiyuki).
The differences arise from respective themes and tone. While Isekai Shokudou is a light and relaxing show, Death Parade is much darker and somber. The former has characters leaving the restaurant for their home world happy and satisfied, while the latter has visitors of the Quindecim judged for their past sins and sent to either reincarnation or the void, often very miserable.read more
You're traveling to another dimension. A dimension not only of sight and sound but of food and drink. Through a wooden door you find yourself in a restaurant that appears once every seven days. It's proprietor does his best to make guests happy. But if you step out from the elevators, you find yourself in an bar, with a proprietor bent on discovering the inner working of your soul through a series of games. In either place you will also meet a charming female assistant. But be warned, the restaurant's fantastic food will leave you addicted for more, waiting for the door to appear again. While the bar is your last stop as you depart this world for the afterlife, or the black beyond.
Although the setting and structure of these shares are very similar, one is more of comedy/slice of life, while Death Parade is a psychological thriller. I would recommend Death Parade first, then Restaurant as a palate cleanser. read more
Surprised no one else recommended this. These shows's have their main focus on the food that's being made and how delicious it appears to be. Isekai Shokudou focuses on mainly Western dishes while Koufuku Graffiti focuses on more Japanese dishes. Both are great slice of life shows that are relaxing to watch.
-easy, slow paced show
-episodic
-a few "main" characters but a focus on side characters
-quality sound track
-a feeling that the show could be very different but consciously chooses to be a simple story that focuses on human interaction and simple feelings.
Both Isekei Shokuduo and Natsume Yuujichou give you a sense of a greater world that what you expect, yet they limit your view into that world. this can either be infuriating or enjoyable and happily both fall in the latter category. If you like one, I would recommend the other as a similar, worthwhile story.
I know Isekai Shokudou feels like Death Parade because it is episodic - each episode 1 or 2 different stories about other characters. But to me the mood feels more happy.
Natsume Yuujinchou and Isekai Shokudou are more similar. Both have fantasy elements: Natsume Yuujinchou the Youkai and Isekai Shokudou the fantasy world and the fantasy characters that visit the restaurant.
There are different stories centered about episodic characters and some of the characters are recurring. Natsume Yuujinchou has the focus on Natsume - the main character. Isekai Shokudou has the focus on the episodic characters. The stories in both anime contain a mix of different moods. Some are happy, some more melancholic.
If you liked one of these anime I'd say give the other one at least a try.read more
This is the same thing. The difference is that the isekai every episode it was divided in two. Each segement, a different world, different person (with some problem) and each one order some kind of food.
Here we've got the same thing. Different people entering and talking about their problems as they eat different food.
One deals usually Isekai dealt with main course while this one deals with cafe, cookies, ice cream and such.
Both shows are about serving good food to others and making them happy. The biggest difference is that in Sweetness and Lightning, the person meals are made for is the same whereas with Restaurant to Another World, they are made for different people in every episode. Both shows have a laid back atmosphere that is all about bonding through meals.
i know its weird recommending Aria to Isekai Shokudou but watching it reminds me alot of Aria.
the slow phase story, the characters, the beautiful scenery, making costumer happy, learning some of their background story. etc.
just the feeling to it is really similar.
if Isekai Shokudou is a cooking theme Aria is the touring counter part of it..
Slow, relaxing anime without a main story and instead it's episodical and focuse on interactions between the characters during their daily life. Both anime are about regular life of it's characters but with one element that makes the world different from our daily life. Isekai Shokudou mixes our world with a fantasy one while Aria is a futuristic show. Both are iyashikei.
Both Anime's are following the Idea of introducing something from our world to the Isekai world, where as GATE introduces military and Yaoi to the the Isekai world, Isekai Shokudou is about introducing earthly cuisine to the Isekai world.
Both also has the Isekai vibes and i think are enjoyable to watch as we see how the people from the Isekai world reacts to the new things they are seeing.
Both have the same male seiyuu who does the main character's voice, and the same amount of fantasy and magic genre, it also share the same plot were there is is portal that leads to another realm, the only differences was one has and action genre where the theme was about every otaku's dream come true, while the other has has that food porn theme in it.
Isekai Shokudou is more Fantasy than Blend S and focusses more on being a maid, and food itself. It has the same gripping humor but has a less fanservice tone all over.
Isekai shokudou has a very calming atmosphere and and the animation is great too! It's similar to Youkai apartment as it revolves around entities from the other world. If you like food, isekai, and slice of life, this is the perfect anime to watch.
Both are shows about food and are divided in two segements per episode. Each episode is a different food (or Ramen).
Althought Isekai has a more segment plot driven (each segment usually deals with a different character) and this one (Ramen Koizumi) we follow Koizumi and her bunch of unwanted wannabe friends as they try to impress Koizumi while eating different types of Ramen.
Both series are isekai anime that take their own spins on the ideas, emphasizing a wide range of characters and creature, a homespun aesthetic, and a familial atmosphere for their casts of characters.
Both series take a fantastical slice of life approach to their respective genres (the school comedy for Demi-chan, the isekai narrative in Shokudou) and give the viewers a wide range of interesting and diverse characters to enjoy and relate to, complete with a human male protagonist that the fantastical characters look up to and respect.
Both shows present an undercovered from lay people's eyes place, such as cafe and a resturant which gives a warm feeling of magic and mystery.
In both shows every customer become equal: no racial or social diversity, lizard folks, demons, dragons, humans, robots are all the same: if you're hungry the chef will feed you up, if you want to chat - take a cup of coffee and chat with anyone without limitations. Speaking about conversations. Both show's characters speak a lot and it makes you smile, in Isekai Shokudou characters express their amazement of fantastic food, which is regular in our world, but in Eve no Jikan you enjoy more sophisticated topics between characters which makes you think more about existance.
IMO the resemblance rate is 8/10 (based on first 2 eps of Isekai Shokudou), which means if you liked one, you will like another.read more
Relaxing anime about cooking/baking with monsters involved, be it customers or the chef. In both anime, the protagonist is an owner of a food establishment.
They both share the theme of people from different time eras or worlds that stumble upon modern day Japan and experiencing the things they offer for the first time much to their delight & surprise. One focuses on bathing culture whilst the other focuses on modern day food.
They both have that slice of life episodic feel. Meeting different regions of people. Not having much of a backbone of a story but the story of each encounter.
Both shows focus on the enjoyment of food and drink. Takunomi doesn't have much of a plot, but Isekai Shokudou has a bit of ongoing plot about the characters who enjoy eating there.
