Rody
Rody Lamoree
Determinant

Rody Lamoree

Protagonist / Waiter
"I guess I eat whatever my girlfriend's into? It's still better than LEMONS."

A desperate, financially struggling waiter willing to do anything for money—and for his ex-girlfriend, Manon. Despite his chaotic demeanor, he possesses an oddly strong immune system (never gets sick). He is canonically bisexual and often ignores red flags due to his singular focus on 'earning enough' to win Manon back.

Character Trivia

  • Cannot cook to save his life (burns everything).
  • Lives in a run-down apartment with broken heating.
  • His immune system is hinted to be the reason he survives eating 'questionable' meat.

In the True Ending (Best Served Hot), Rody realizes the bistro serves human meat. He kills Vincent in self-defense, burns down the bistro, and escapes. In Ending 1, he unknowingly cannibalizes Manon (served as steak).
Vincent
Vincent Charbonneau
Determinant

Vincent Charbonneau

Antagonist / Chef
"Chasing petty romances isn't the end-all be-all in life. Isn't it enough to have it for myself?"

The cold, sophisticated owner of 'La Gueule de Saturne'. A culinary prodigy who lost his sense of taste (Ageusia) as a child. He cooks not for passion, but to experiment on others, seeking to understand the 'taste' of emotions and love through cannibalism.

Character Trivia

  • His favorite food is raw lemons (because he can't taste the sourness).
  • Keeps a photo of Manon in his office trash can.
  • Hates when things are messy or unprofessional.

Vincent murdered Manon because she 'loved too much,' and he wanted to taste that intensity. He planned to butcher Rody for the same reason. In the True Ending, he is stabbed by Rody and burned alive in his own kitchen.
Manon
Manon Vacher
Deceased (Confirmed)

Manon Vacher

The Catalyst / Ex-Girlfriend
"You're killing yourself. And I can't watch anymore. I hope you find someone who loves you the way you deserve."

Rody's muse and former lover. She broke up with Rody because his self-sacrificing love was becoming toxic and overwhelming, though she still deeply cared for him. Her disappearance is the driving force behind Rody's employment at the bistro.

Character Trivia

  • Left her watch and lighter at Rody's place.
  • Sent letters to Vincent before her death.
  • Her silhouette appears briefly in the window on Day 6.

Character Trivia

  • Majored in Hospitality/Economics with Rody.
  • Recognizes Rody despite him playing 'waiter'.
  • Only appears during the Dinner Party event.
