Plato
Cuisine Good Food Guide Selection
Our verdict
An eclectic, well-established restaurant with chef/owner Nigel Broad at the helm cooking from a blackboard menu. Right on Dunedin’s harbour, It’s worth going for the astonishing collection of funky ornaments that line every nook and cranny of the walls, but even more worthy are the perfectly cooked fish dishes with ingredients sourced from as close as possible, and an excellent Otago wine list.
Pearl is the En Primeur Club membership app — saves, bookings, and concierge access live there. Same editors, same standards.
