If you’ve ever wanted to run a cafe, now’s your chance, because the Tower of Fantasy Aida Cafe limited time event grants you the rare opportunity to become its temporary manager. But be warned, the various Tower of Fantasy characters that patron the cafe won’t think very highly of you if you serve up meals that aren’t to their taste. We’ve put together a list of each customer’s food preferences, as well as the location for every ingredient required to craft the limited menu recipes, so that your customers are guaranteed to always leave satisfied.
The Tower of Fantasy Aida Cafe event coincides with the Tower of Fantasy 1.5 Artificial Island update, and will continue to run every day until 29 September, 2022. The cafe is only open to Wanderers at level 17 or above, so if you’re not quite there yet, take a look at our Tower of Fantasy leveling guide, which is sure to get you turning tables in no time. You can access the Aida Cafe at any point during the event from the rewards menu located in the top-right corner of the screen.
How the Aida Cafe limited event works
The Tower of Fantasy Aida Cafe event takes place each day, when three random customers arrive at the cafe for lunch. You may serve each customer up to five courses: the main course, side dish, soup, dessert, and drink. While you only need to serve up one course to mark the order as complete, your customers are guaranteed to walk away unsatisfied.
As you might expect, different customers have different preferences, and the only way to ensure they leave satisfied is by serving up their favourite food. How can you tell how satisfied your customers are? Like all picky customers, they’ll tell you! Each dish has the potential to score between five to ten points in customer satisfaction, for a grand total of 25 to 50 points. Your final score determines the rewards you receive from the event: the higher the score, the more rewards you unlock.

Limited menu and recipe ingredients
As is the case for every recipe you craft in Hotta Studio’s anime game, you must first collect the necessary ingredients before you can provide customers with their preferred dish in the Aida Cafe. These raw materials can be found during world exploration via foraging, killing livestock, and clearing enemy camps. You can find out which ingredients a specific limited food item requires by accessing the limited menu from the Aida Cafe event itself.
Here is a full list of the Aida Cafe’s limited ingredients and how to acquire them:
- Apple: Collecting fallen fruits in Banges and Astra
- Wild boar meat: Killing wild boar in Astra
- Turkey: Dropped by Hyena gang members in Astra
- Sesame: Collecting brown rice in Navia
- Sugar cube: Dropped by Aida soldiers in Banges
- Grapes: Dropped by Ravagers on Cetus Island
- Salmon: Collecting lake bass in Crown Mines and Warren Snowfield
Once you collect the ingredients needed for the relevant recipe, craft the limited food by interacting with a cooking pot and selecting them from the limited menu.
The limited recipes available to craft for the Aida Cafe are:
- Roast suckling pig: x1 Lettuce, x1 Honey, x1 Wild boar meat, x1 Sugar cube
- Braised turkey with apple: x1 Broccoli, x1 Potato, x1 Apple, x1 Turkey
- Roasted drumstick with vegetables: x1 Mushroom, x1 Lettuce, x1 Turkey
- Pan-fried salmon: x1 Lettuce, x1 Honey, x1 Salmon
- Small sesame rice dumplings: x1 Mushroom, x1 Brown rice, x1 Sesame
- Turkey beet soup: x1 Mushroom, x1 Potato, x1 Turkey
- Gingerbread: x1 Honey, x1 Brown rice, x1 Sugar cube
- Apple cake: x1 Poultry egg, x1 Brown rice, x1 Apple, x1 Grapes
- Fruit punch: x1 Carbonated water, x1 Grapes, x1 Balloon fruit
- Apple juice: x1 Carbinated water, x1 Apple, x1 Sugar cube
If you’d rather not spend your time combing Aida for ingredients, it’s worth mentioning there is a chance to receive limited food after defeating world bosses roaming the Tower of Fantasy map. Sobek, for example, will drop a bounty of salmon – but whether it’s worth taking on a world boss is a different kettle of fish.
Aida Cafe event rewards
There are a number of valuable rewards that you can expect to receive by taking part in the Aida Cafe event, including an SSR relic box and the Champion Shopkeeper avatar frame. However, the main reason you should don your apron is for a chance at obtaining a red nucleus or special voucher. These ultra-rare currencies can be spent on Tower of Fantasy banners to unlock limited characters, including the Tower of Fantasy Claudia simulacra. Typically, red nuclei and special vouchers are only available to purchase via the shop, so the Aida Cafe event is a golden opportunity to stockpile those special orders.
That’s all we have for the Tower of Fantasy Aida Cafe limited time event. While you’re out foraging for ingredients, we recommend keeping an eye out for Tower of Fantasy constellation telescopes, as well as electronic locks – just take a look at our Tower of Fantasy password list if you’re struggling to open them. Alternatively, if you’ve yet to expand your Tower of Fantasy vehicles roster, check out our guide to collecting all the Tower of Fantasy Voyager vehicle parts scattered across Aida, so you can cruise the Artificial Island in style.
