The writer Junpei Inuzuka announced on his Shousetsuka ni Narou page that the anime project for his light novel Isekai Shokudou has been green-lit.

Synopsis
At the bottom floor of the building with a dog signboard, in the shopping district near the office street, there lies a cafeteria called "Youshoku no Nekoya," that has an illustration of a cat on the door. It's been open for fifty years and has satisfied various salarymen from nearby offices. Despite it being called a Western cuisine cafeteria, it also provides other varieties of menus. For the people of this certain world, it's their one-and-only special cafeteria.

There is, however, one secret to "Nekoya." The cafeteria is closed to the public every Saturday in order to make way for special guests. When a bell rings, customers from different places of birth and races appear who ask for mysterious and delicious dishes. They are actually the same dishes served to the salarymen, but these special guests find them to be more exotic than to what they are used to. As the cafeteria aims to serve masterpieces, it is usually referred as "Isekai Shokudou."

And so, the bell rings again this week.

Isekai Shokudou was launched on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website in January 2013. The first volume was published by Shufunotomo's Hero Bunko imprint in February 2015. The third volume (shown) is planned to go on sale on September 30, 2016. A manga adaptation will start its serialization in Young Gangan in June 2016.

So basically it's a reverse Isekai. People from a fantasy world step through magic doors that lead to a certain restaurants. Welp, Food shows are always welcome :D

Another isekai show, but this one sounds a bit different compared to what usually comes out. I might check this out.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

Well it is episodic, but it kinda weaves it by featuring some characters again as side characters in new chapters.

@tsubasalover, the novel was launched on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website in January 2013. The first volume was published by Shufunotomo's Hero Bunko imprint in February 2015. A manga adaptation has been decided to run in the Young Gangan magazine in June of this year. (Source: LN News)

Also, the following would serve as a better synopsis.

I've read this before and it's okay, nothing too special outside of the food themes but I do find the fantasy-realism to be interesting.

Wasn't expecting it to get an anime though. This surprised me.

What makes you think that?

Incidentally, first ever Hero Bunko light novel series to get an anime announced. Was always bound to happen sooner or later - with the isekai fashion right now playing right into their strengths. Can't say I'm disappointed with the choice.

Sounds pretty interesting, and this from someone who is generally ambivalent to cooking shows.

3rd volume is out at the end of the month. I would assume that it will also be announced on the wrap around for that volume.

I shit you not, the first lines of the synopsis might as well have been describing a hentai story.

That being said, it doesn't sound half-bad.
