As soon as you enter Plates Restaurant and Wine Bar, you get high expectations because of the fancy interior. These expectations get even higher when you get the menu and see the prices. But with some exceptions you get disappointed when you get the food. The portions are small but expensive and they are not made with that extra finesse that is indicated by the price. But there are things to order, like for example the Tuscan Liver Plate, perfect as a starter for 2 persons of you don´t care about the boring presentation on the plate.
The veg Risotto has a nice taste but could have been decorated to satisfy the eye. The service is quite standard Zambian. Sometimes it takes too long to have the food served. You wonder why there is a small plate at your place, because no bread is served and you have to ask for napkins or tissues. The feeling is that the place has high ambitions but has not yet found a theme for their food and a quality of the food that corresponds to the interior. But there are also very nice things to be said about the restaurant. They have a great wine list that covers France, Italy, Spain, Chile and four more countries, impressive. Take your friends to Plates Restaurant and Wine Bar for a glass of wine.
