Knowing what the Fire Emblem Engage best meals are is the way for you to give your characters the upper hand in the latest game in the tactical RPG series. In Fire Emblem Engage, a character’s strength depends on their stats, equipment, and also whether they are wearing one of the powerful Emblem Rings. However, buffing your character with the right meal is crucial to achieving victory.
At the same time, meals are important to advance the relationship between the Fire Emblem Engage characters. But to take the most out of the situation, ordering the favourite foods of a character is key – as well as doing so when the right chef is also available to prepare the meal. So, pick the best option from this list of Fire Emblem Engage Best meals with some of the favourites for the game’s character.

One of the good practices to get into before jumping to a new chapter in Fire Emblem Engage is to have a meal with two characters. Once Somniel is accessible, you can go to the Café Terrace right next to the Plaza. From time to time, the character who is in charge of preparing the meals changes, and, by talking to them, you can invite two other characters to eat with you. Mind you that there isn’t an optimal chef for every meal in the game. Now, you will have two main reasons to do so! First, meals grant a stats bonus to the characters. And second, you earn Support Points and increase your relationship with them.
Meals grant a stats bonus to the characters. And second, you earn Support Points and increase your relationship with them.

Once ready, you can even have the chance of receiving the leftovers which can be used as a healing item during a battle.
