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, and we have our own wine and beer made on-site at our microbrewery; Birch Street Brewery.

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