In line with the "Help the Hushed Honeybee" quest in Metaphor: ReFantazio, you'll need to get your hands on the ingredients for Redgrass-Roasted Bidou to help Fabienne and the quest creator, Young Nidia. This will take you on a wild goose chase of sorts through Grand Trad. If all goes well, you can earn Wisdom points, Revee, and even snag the dish's recipe for yourself.
Lending a helping hand at the Hushed Honeybee Inn will get you well-acquainted with Metaphor: ReFantazio's cooking feature, among a handful of other quest rewards. Of course, you'll need to spend money to make money in the meantime, as Fabienne's recipe calls for three ingredients that you'll need to obtain yourself if you hope to learn it. You can always turn down the offer if you'd rather save on funds, but the rewards far outweigh the risks with a small investment.
How To Start The "Help The Hushed Honeybee" Quest
Trigger The Quest & Meet With Fabienne
Following the King's funeral, you can start the "Help the Hushed Honeybee" quest by fast traveling to Sunlumeo Street in Grand Trad. When you arrive, speak to Young Nidia in the southeast area of the city to get started.

Metaphor: ReFantazio - How To Increase Eloquence
Increasing your Eloquence in Metaphor: ReFantazio is a great way to improve your relationships and get NPCs to do what you need in the game.
He'll tell you about his research on Grand Trad cuisine, and that he's particularly interested in Fabienne's cooking over at the Hushed Honeybee Inn. With that, he requests that you lend your assistance at the Inn's kitchen and report back with details. Though he's unable to go himself, he still asks that you complete the task by 6/19, a strict deadline to bear in mind.
You must meet with Fabienne at night, when guests typically gather at the Inn. Otherwise, you won't be able to move forward with quest objectives.
From there, head over to the Hushed Honeybee Inn and talk to Fabienne at the counter. She'll accept your help, and she'll even offer to show you how to make Redgrass-Roasted Bidou, given you're willing to collect the ingredients yourself. If you'd rather opt out of learning the recipe, you can also choose to complete the task then and there.
Where To Find All Redgrass-Roasted Bidou Ingredients
Locate Vendors In Grand Trad
Fabienne will give you a list of three ingredients you need to make Redgrass-Roasted Bidou, and you can find them all in Grand Trad, as showcased by 100% Guides on YouTube. This includes:
- Bidou Meat
- Pristine Clearwater
- Redgrass
You'll need to talk to certain vendors throughout the city to purchase each ingredient. You can easily buy Bidou Meat from the Burly Butcher for 250 Revee and Pristine Clearwater from the Water Merchant for 50 Revee. Getting your hands on some Redrass is a bit more difficult, though, as the Herb-Seller won't let you purchase this ingredient unless you're a regular.
TheGamer notes that all three vendors are found in the Regalith Grand Cathedral area's market square, each with their own icons to lead the way.
To by this obstacle, you'll need to get the Secret of the Redgrass note. You can purchase this item for 600 Revee from the Knowledgeable Man, who hangs out inside the Inn at night. The note will reveal that the Herb-Seller was once close to Metaphor: ReFantazio's late Grius, lending you some helpful intel to use during your next meeting with the vendor.
Simply ask, "Do you know Grius?" when you speak with the Herb-Seller to become an instant regular. You can then purchase Redgrass for 150 Revee per piece, or 500 for a bundle of four. With that, you'll have all the ingredients you need to make Redgrass-Roasted Bidou. Head back to the Inn to finish up.
How To Make Redgrass-Roasted Bidou
Stick To The Recipe
Make your way back to the Hushed Honeybee Inn and speak with Fabienne to finally cook some Redgrass-Roasted Bidou. Gallica will suggest a few alterations along the way, but it's best to stick to the recipe, as this will net you more points to Tolerance in the long run. Following the dish's completion, return to Young Nidia the next day to report what you've learned. He'll hand over the following rewards:
- x3 Magla Pills
- 2,000 Revee
- Wisdom Points
Moving forward, you can prepare Redgrass-Roasted Bidou for helpful effects on your Metaphor: ReFantazio playthrough. This dish cures the Burn status ailment, a physical ailment that causes affected party to take more damage during combat and remains in effect even after the fight concludes. Apart from this, the nutritious meal will also restore 400 HP in a pinch.
