eating at Plato

With an amazing range of fresh produce and world-leading wines right on our doorstep, we don't need to look far to find the best items for our ever-changing menus.

At Plato we use the freshest ingredients, wherever possible sourced locally. These include organically-grown herbs and, when available, salad greens, also the best South Island fish and seafood, and local meats - all washed down with hard-to-beat Central Otago wines and locally produced beers and soft drinks.

the bread winner

Everyone who comes to PLATO enjoys our ciabatta bread, tried, tested and perfected the old-fashioned way. True ciabatta (pronounced “chee-a-bata”) is made using sourdough – a mix of matured and freshly risen doughs – and hard flour. Its crust should be hard, the inside bread aerated yet pleasantly chewy. A great way to start a meal!

quaffing coffee

We drink lots of it ourselves, so we like to make it properly, and always with a double shot of espresso (“per favore”, there is no “x” in espresso) unless you ask us otherwise. Our beans are roasted by Kevin at the almighty coffee hang-out The Fix and blended especially for us. Check it out!
