A '''Bistrobistro''' is a [[rabbit hole]] in ''[[The Sims 3]]'' where Sims[[Sim]]s can enter to dine at. The rabbit hole is rather similar to [[diner]] in functionality. Sims can get a dine out or get drinks alone, with other Sims, or with [[Dating|date]]{{Vgversion|TS3:G}}. Eating with other Sims will increase their relationships slightly. When entering the bistro, Sims will change into their formal wear. They can get a job in [[Culinary#The Sims 3|Culinaryculinary]] career in the bistro. The bistro opens at 11 AM and closes at 11 PM.
 
Sims can attend [[Cooking (The Sims 3)|Cookingcooking]] and [[Mixology (The Sims 3)|mixology]] [[Skill class|classes]] for §400 and §600, and they last for 1 and 2 hours, respectively. Sims who have enough money can [[Investment|invest]] their money to become a partner or buy out the property to earn more money. The cost of partnership is §12,500, while the cost of ownership is §25,000. Sims can collect money from the bistro for §2,100 (partnered) or §3,000 (owner) every week.
 
If ''[[The Sims 3: Generations|Generations]]'' is installed, [[child]]ren and [[teen]]s may visit the Bistro in a [[School#Field Trip|field trip]]. During the field trip, Sims will gain skills in [[Cooking (The Sims 3)|Cookingcooking]] for teens, and Childchild Cookingcooking hidden skill for children. After the field trip is over, there's an 80% chance they will get "Great Meal" moodlet and a 20% chance they will get "Nauseous" [[moodlet]] from eating bad food. Also, they might be rewarded with decorative bento, depending on the Sim's grade.
 
If ''[[The Sims 3: Island Paradise|Island Paradise]]'' is installed, Sims with sufficient [[Scubascuba Divingdiving]] skills can get a commission at the bistro to receive a skill [[opportunity]] to catch some fish and earn money.
 
Generally, a bistro is often combined with an [[office building]] in a multi-purpose rabbit hole, such as Steve's Business Complex and Restaurant in [[Bridgeport]] and Broad Street Business Tower & Grill in [[Starlight Shores]].
Line 17:
Sims can eat inside or outside the bistro for §50 (breakfast, brunch, or lunch) or §75 (dinner) per Sim. They will get an early bird discount of 80% if they eat dinner between 5 PM and 6 PM. If Sims eat outside, they'll enter the bistro briefly and take out food and eat it at an available table outside. Eating inside takes up one and half an hour for Sims to finish their meal. During their lunch or dinner course, the players can drag the interaction in the queue to wait for dessert. Eating dessert adds up §12 to the bill and the total meal time by 20 minutes. Eating at a bistro will replenish [[hunger]] to full. Sims will get a "Great Meal" moodlet after they finish eating, or an "Amazing Meal" moodlet if they eat dessert.
 
Sims can also get drinks inside for §20 per Sim. Getting drinks takes up half an hour to finish. Getting drinks will replenish Sims' hunger, but they won't get any moodlet in exchange, unlike dining out. During the drink, there's a 25% chance Sims will meet someone new, and additional +50% chance if they have [[Friendly (trait)|Friendlyfriendly]] and [[Flirtyflirty]] traits each. If the Sim has the [[Lonerloner]] trait however, the event will not trigger.
 
Sims cannot cancel the interaction while eating or getting drinks inside. If Sims work at the [[Journalism#The Sims 3|Journalismjournalism]] career, they can review the food and get free from charge. They will not be welcomed to eat if they have written a bad review for the bistro, however.
 
If the Sim is a [[Vampire (The Sims 3)|vampire]], they will get their [[Hunger#Thirst|thirst]] replenished from drinking or eating.{{Vgversion|TS3:LN}}{{Vgversion|TS3:SN}} In addition, vampires will also receive "Sated" moodlet if they eat inside.
 
==Restaurant Eventsevents==
While Sims are eating or getting drinks inside, there's a small chance a restaurant event will trigger. The event works like a [[chance card]], where the players are given a scenario and have to choose between two options. Either options will give a different result.
 
Line 36:
#The Sim is offered by the bartender to try an experimental cocktail. Drinking the cocktail will give the Sim "Adrenaline Rush" moodlet, while refusing it will reward them an outstanding apple.
