For over 26 years, Plaka has remained Gauteng’s go-to Greek restaurant. The name Plaka pays tribute to the old historical neighbourhood of Athens and the heartbeat of Greece’s modern capital on the slopes of the Acropolis. It’s this traditional culture, within a modern society, that Plaka continues to bring to its restaurants in South Africa.
According to Greeks and the Mediterranean culture Plaka is based on, the best way to enjoy food is to eat meze – small dishes of heaven, which you, your friends and family can share and enjoy together.
And if you are not IOL's lucky winner, you can still join Plaka on the evening of the 14th February for a night to remember by booking here for Plaka Eastgate or here for Plaka Menlyn.
