Our philosophy is simple - we aim to provide good food, matched with good service, in comfortable surroundings.

PLATO has been in Dunedin for so long, we guess we’ve become a part of the Dunedin food scene. Right by the harbour, our speciality is fresh fish.

Everything is locally sourced as close as we can get it, and we have our own wine from Central Otago. 

PLATO also has two function rooms, catering options and cakes made to order. Located in the old Seafarers Hostel below the Otago Peninsula overpass, the entrance is off Roberts Street.

We are currently looking for Chefs with any experience to join our small family run team
Applicants should be passionate, bring a positive attitude and strive for quality in the kitchen
