This is a wonderful restaurant, which really knows its fish (but with plenty of alternatives for those who don't like seafood). The retro theme of the decor is a joy in itself. The food is the best we've tasted in a long time and the...More

Have visited this restaurant every time we have come over from England to visit family and the food has always been excellent and the staff friendly. The crispy squid and the pan-fried gurnard with spring onion, ginger and garlic were standout meals on this last...More

Six of us ate at Plato this week. It is located in Dunedin’s up and coming industrial district and we actually enjoyed walking through this developing part of town. The restaurant decor is very quirky, with bookshelves filled with kitsch. It’s very informal and fun....More
