''The Restaurant of Many Orders'' (注文の多い料理店 ''Chūmon no Ōi Ryōriten'') is a children's short story by Kenji Miyazawa, published in 1924 in a short story anthology of the same name.

In this story, two men on a hunting trip in England are in a tight situation: they can't find their guide, their two dogs are dead, and they're lost in the mountains. They come across a restaurant called "Wildcat House" in the middle of nowhere, decide to stop by and discover that it's a lot weirder than it seems…

Due to this story's infamous plot twist, spoilers are left unmarked.

* BigDamnHeroes: The men's dogs come back to life to save their owners from a cruel fate.
* ImAHumanitarian: The restaurant is a front for man-eating creatures, and the instructions it gives out to patrons are meant to partially prepare them as food.
* SurpriseCreepy: The restaurant's orders get increasingly weirder and weirder, culminating in a shocking reveal that they actually eat their patrons.
