The Canteen in Monster Hunter World (MHW) refers to a Location in Astera, the main hub town. The Canteen offers two services - the purchase of Meals made from in-house ingredients, and an Oven Roasting service that turns meat and ingredients from the player's inventory into snacks that can be eaten during a hunt. Meals eaten at the canteen provide temporarily bonuses to your health, stamina, and may provide food skills.
The Canteen provides hunters with the nourishment they need before departing on a hunt.
Eating a meal at the Canteen can bestow any number of useful powerups.
You can also order an Oven Roast from the Handler.
Items used for an Oven Roast will be made into food, though depending on the item there may also be a few unexpected results!
Canteen Location
The Canteen is located in:
- Upper Astera, easily accessible using the Lift system.
- Gathering Hub in Astera
- Seliana & Seliana Gathering Hub
- Every Camp when going on a quest or expedition.
Canteen Information
The Weapons and Wildcats canteen, run by the Felyne head chef, is on the third floor of Astera. Smoked foods and grilled dishes are prepared in the huge oven and stove, while soups are boiled in the cauldron. Many Commission members ea here and then head out on expeditions. In the evening, the seats are full if Commission personnel. The Canteen is thriving.
- The Canteen allows you to bestow positive Status Effects on your character. Sometimes, negative effects may occur.
- Please see Food Skills for a complete list of possible effects.
- The Canteen allows players to order take-out food Items to be used later when in the field.
- Meal effects will wear off if you faint during a quest or expedition. They will also wear off once you complete, fail, or withdraw from a quest or expedition. After eating a meal you will be unable to eat again for 10 minutes.
Meals
The Canteen sells meals that can provide bonuses to your maximum health and stamina, the maximum health of your Palico, and Food Skills. Food Skills, like Armor Skills, provide various benefits to the character. The bonuses provided by meals are temporary, and last until one of the following occurs:
- You faint during a quest or expedition
- You complete, fail, withdraw, or return from a quest or expedition
Some meals may provide negative effects to the player.
Meals sold by the Canteen are composed of in-house ingredients - that is, ingredients not from the player's inventory. Ingredients come in four varieties - Meat, Fish, Vegetables, and Drinks - and can be Fresh or Normal. Between quests or expeditions, the ingredients that are fresh rotate randomly. Fresh ingredients provide higher health and stamina bonuses, and increased chance for the activation of Food Skills. Each fresh ingredient used will increase Activation Chance by a half star, maxing out at 3 stars for 6 fresh ingredients.
Players are offered the choice of pre-crafted meals, a Chef's Choice meal that automatically uses the freshest ingredients available, or can create custom meals using the ingredients available from the Canteen. While the selection of ingredients is small to begin with, players can embark on Optional Quests offered by the Feylene NPCs that run the Canteen in order to unlock new ingredients to be used in future meals.
The Canteen begins at Level 1 and is upgraded twice throughout the campaign, providing access to bigger and more complex meals.
- Level 1 Canteen - Maximum of 2 ingredients per meal
- Level 2 Canteen - Maximum of 4 ingredients per meal
- Level 3 Canteen - Maximum of 6 ingredients per meal
Food Ingredients in Monster Hunter World (MHW) are Items that can be combined and altered to create meals that give various Food Skills at the Canteen.

Additionally, each type of food will grant bonus combat stats:
- Meats increase Attack (x2 = S, x4 = M, x6 = L)
- Fish increase Defense (x2 = S, x4 = M, x6 = L)
- Vegetables increase Elemental Resistance (x2 = S, x4 = M, x6 = L)
- Alcohols increase nothing.
Attack and defense boost obtained from size of boost:
- S=+5
- M=+10

The last row for the drinks in the canteen chart list, the drinks aren't in bold font like the other ingredients are, making it slighltly more difficult to distinguish between ingredient and requirement. At least as of today anyway. I would fix it but I'm not allowed.

Petalcryst can be found in Hoarfrost Reach During an "Upsurge: frozen foliage" in the lower left of area 8 when looking at the map, in a cave, near the usual Frozen Foliage icons you normally see. There are two entrances to the cave. The top entrance is located at the north entrance of area 2, when you get to the 3 way intersection from area 2, continue forward into the crawlspace into the cave. Go down the slope to your left and as you descend the next slope, the foliage should be right there sparkling and ready to gather. If you reach the Baitbug, youve gone too far. The second entrance is located along the downwards slope into Area 8 from Area 4 (the area with the (Collapsed Snowfield) Environmental trap). There are two small holes to crawl through along the left wall, opposite from the snow herb to the right (there may be a mining outcrop there dividing the two holes, so look for that). If youve gone past either the outcrop or the snow herb, youve gone too far. Crawl Through the hole and go right. Pass the plants, the 1st gathering point, and the honey and go to the slope leading up. You should see a baitbug a bonepile and frozen foliage at the base. head up the slope once and turn left and it should be there sparkling waiting for pickup. I hope this unnecessarily over-detailed description helps someone.
The game warns you of drinking too much of the alcohol in the canteen. Can you actually drink too much of it? If you can drink too much what happens?

Yeah I love ordering a fish table and being served chicken and a bowl of frickin shrimps.

What does the color of the meals mean in the Order Meal menu? Not the color of the ingredients, but the meal itself. For instance, "Chef's Choice" and "Veggie Platter" are gold but share nothing in common (differing health, palico attack, and skills) while "Fish Platter" is silver with better stats than the gold Veggie Platter.

Just finished my Canteen. Do your optionals and side-quests and do a bunch of gathering and you should have most if not all of them.

I love washing down my favorite severed wyvern head with a firkin of Ratha Whiskey-- but is there any mechanical reason to collect more ingredients? More ingredients = better dicerolls for Freshness?

Here's an important question I never see answered: Say I get the x6 bonus in a food skill category, like Felyne Pyro from the Artillery tree. Do I *also* get the x2 and x4 skills along with it, or are they ignored in favor of the x6 skill? Or if I want Felyne Sharpshooter, do I have to ONLY have 2 ingredients from Artillery, and then toss in random ingredients from other trees to get what I actually want?

Some of the items don't tell you how to get em I'm guessing you haven't found some well just a request can you update the list when you locate the last remaining ones if so then that would be greatly appreciated :)

under vegetables - vigor #4 you have named them both "sunkissed grass" when it is the sunkissed herb that gives you sunkissed grass ingredient.
this wouldn't be a problem except that you have created a link to the sunkissed grass page, which does not exist. when you should have made it go to the sunkissed herb page, which does exist in this wiki. just letting you know.

Please asks if any info is missing in reply, I know a few ingredient requirement and daily skills are missing. As for Oven Roast, so far it has only given me mostly useless items so I'm not sure what's the point of doing it unless you are bad at the BBQ mini-game.

By far the worst food system in Monster Hunter. There is absolutely no reason not to pick chef's choice. Sure you can get the Atk Boost L, but if you do, 90% of the time you'll get 0 skills and less HP and Stamina. So if you do want that tiny tiny boost, use an ancient potion I guess. Out of 114 ingredients, at most 10 are fresh, leaving you next to 0 mix and maxing, as fresh foods = Skill Chance and HP AND Stamina. In older games and Rise you pick a skill YOU want, and it has a chance of occurring. In World, the game's choice might as well be the only option (no lucky cat for you)
