It's worth the trip if you can find the place. It's on the other side of the railroad tracks, literally. We walked from downtown, about 1/2 km. Almost no signage and a door that's not obvious. The staff seemed surprised anybody would arrive by foot without a reservation. They are probably mandatory during peak seasons. Our Garmain GPS device set... more

We picked this place from the tourist guide; it was closer to our camper van park than the one in town recommended by the Albatross Center staff. We got the last table in the place, and, since the wait staff all looked young, figured it would be a while. But the service was absolutely outstanding. Had water and bread on... more

Some of the best service that we had on the South Island. Friendly staff in a clean, roomy atmosphere.

I've been to Plato quite a bit. Have had some quite good, although unremarkable, food, and some really quite bad food (eg some of their fish dishes are very stodgy). The service can be extraordinarily slow on a bad night, but quite OK on a good night. There are nicer restaurants in Dunedin, I think, but if you go there... more

I has a chicken dish, and it was AMAZING!! Their prices are good for such great quality cuisine. A couple of people I dined with ordered steak, and it wasn't very warm, but they re-cooked it, and my companions said it was really delicious!! more

We have eaten here many times and always recommend it to friends and travellers from out of town. The location is a little off the beaten track but well worth the visit. The atmopshere is always buzzy and alive but not noisy as to intrude on your dining experience. The selection of fish is always superb and served in many... more
