During your adventures throughout Aionios, you'll need to chow down on some of Manana's phenomenally tasty cooking in order to temporarily make use of the various boons that meals grant you while you're out in the field.

Meals in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 gift you boosts to your rate of XP/CP accruement as well as to the amount of items and collectibles that enemies drop as you battle them. In order to add new recipes to your menu, you'll need to find canteen rest spots. Purchasing a meal at any given canteen will then automatically add it to the menu you can choose to cook from at any and all rest spots out in the field. Simple!

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 - All Meal Recipes, Their Effects & Where To Find Them

Now, let's take a look at all the meals we've managed to find so far and the canteens where you'll need to go to order them and add them to your in-game menu. Of course, once you're ready to cook, you'll need to either have the ingredients necessary to make your chosen meal or bypass this requirement by using silver Nopon Coins.

Note that, once Manana has added the below meals to her repertoire she'll also change their names, giving them a more lyrical Nopon twist, so don't worry if you see something here you can't find on your choices once she's converted them to her own unique style.

Oh, and finally, not all of the meals you'll see below are immediately available from canteen menus, you'll need to grow your affinity levels in order to unlock access to them all. Ok, good, let's get stuck into some dinner.
