Plato Cafe in Dunedin, Dunedin, New Zealand | A la Carte Restaurants

Plato Cafe is a relaxed eatery located on the harbourfront of Dunedin, New Zealand.

Occupying a former hostel for seafarers from around the world,  Plato Cafe retains its links to the sea through an ever-changing menu which features an emphasis on seafood, but also showcases a wide range of local produce and beverages.

Plato Cafe's philosophy is simple.   We aim to provide good food, matched with good service, in comfortable surroundings. We don't like to over-complicate food.  And we're totally subjective,  we cook what we like to eat ourselves.
