Yes: FB Games runs an independent Restaurant City server that you can play for free in your browser. It is a private server in the sense that it is not the official one, which closed on Facebook in 2012. It has accounts of its own, separate from our other games, it sets its own rules and it has its own support. It is a beta, so read this page to know what it offers, and what it does not yet, before you create an account.
Here is the game: open it in your browser, create a free account of your own and see how this server works for yourself.
Customize your chef, hire a cook and a waiter, pick the menu, serve your customers and decorate your place in this classic Facebook restaurant game.
In beta: some parts of the original game are not complete yet and you may run into bugs.
A private server is an unofficial one: someone other than the original company runs the online side of a game so that it can be played again after the official service ended. That is the idea behind this Restaurant City server.
In practice, Restaurant City runs here on a FB Games server of its own, as a beta and as a preservation project with no commercial purpose. It is not the official site, and it has no link to Playfish, Electronic Arts, Facebook or Meta.
You need an account of your own: a username of 3 to 20 characters, a password of at least 8, a male or female character and, if you want, an email. Nothing connects to Facebook, and progress from the Facebook game cannot be imported.
Your restaurant, level, coins and items are saved on the server, tied to your account, so you can continue from another browser just by logging in. Only one game can be open per account: opening Restaurant City in another tab or on another device closes the previous one.
In your profile you can see and close your active sessions, change your password, choose a language and add an email. The account is independent from the accounts of every other game on FB Games.
The server decides prices, rewards and timings, and they are the same for everyone. The rules are set by this edition and are not necessarily those of the original game, so numbers you read about the Facebook version may differ. For the numbers used here, see our how to play guide.
Honestly, it is a beta. The basics work: employees, menu, service, decoration and visits. The garden, mail, gifts, ingredient trading and market, challenges, camera and random street exist but have not been checked in depth.
The terms of use also say that the service is offered as it is and may change, be interrupted or close, and that data may be reset for security or maintenance. Enjoy your restaurant, but do not treat a beta as a permanent archive.
Help comes through support tickets. You can open one from the header of the game page, from the Support page or from the panel inside the game. The categories are game errors, account and access, payments and donations, suggestions, foul play or abuse, and other. You can attach a screenshot (PNG, JPEG or WebP, up to 1 MB), and the team answers on the website.
Support never asks for your password. If your account has been suspended, there is an appeal page where you sign in with your username and password.
Playing is free. Donating is voluntary: if you want to, you ask for it by opening a donation ticket from Support, either on the Donate page or in the game's own panel. This guide quotes no prices and no packages, because none are published.
Donations go through a ticket, not through strangers or third-party sites. Treat any message from someone offering to sell you coins or cash for Restaurant City as a scam.
The terms forbid modifying the game client, automating play, exploiting bugs and bothering other players. Accounts that do so can be suspended.
The privacy page says what is stored: your username, your encrypted password, your game and a log of your actions, plus the IP address and browser of each session. An email is stored only if you add one. The site uses technical cookies only, with no ads, no tracking and no third-party scripts, and you can ask to check or delete your data by ticket.
Legally, the game is the work of Playfish and Electronic Arts. This server is not affiliated with or endorsed by them, and rights holders can ask for anything to be removed through a ticket.
A serious Restaurant City server says plainly that it is unofficial and in beta. It publishes terms, a privacy page and a legal notice, and it explains what it stores. It never asks for your password in a ticket or anywhere else.
It also does not ask you to install a launcher, an .exe, an .apk or a .swf, and it does not promise free coins or cash. This server meets that checklist, and you can verify each point in its terms, privacy and notice pages before you sign up.
Three steps and you're in.
From this home page. Each game opens at its own address, with its own start screen.
A quick sign-up inside the game. Your progress is saved on the server, not in your browser.
You play in your browser, with no Flash and no downloads, on a computer and, depending on the game, on your phone too.
