On a business trip to Utrecht and looking for a nice place to eat and mingle? Brasserie Plato, a new hotspot located in the middle of the lively business district Rijnsweerd Noord, is perfectly equipped for business lunches, afternoon drinks and dinners and is available for custom private gatherings as well. Brasserie Plato, part of facility service provider Facilicom, is surrounded by offices and small businesses. Facility manager Tessa van der Laan sees many local business people drop by for lunch or a drink after work.“The bar and lounge is perfect to enjoy coffee and drinks, while the stylish lunch room is ideal for a regular 45-minute lunch,” she says. And in the back you will find a luxurious dining room with comfortable bucket chairs and round tables, suitable for an extensive three-course business lunch. “But above all, Brasserie Plato is a
place to visit if you want a change of scenery during a busy work day.” It is no surprise the brasserie’s motto is ‘variety pleases’. This was a quote by the great philosopher and the brasserie’s name giver Plato. This also shows in the menu as Van der Laan explains: “We change it on a regular basis and work with a selection of local products, such as vegetables and fruit from estate Heerlijkheid Mariënwaardt south of Utrecht and beers from local breweries such as De Leckere.” Many of these foods are also available for purchase at the brasserie. Brasserie Plato is located in the office building of insurance company a.s.r, only a few minutes from the highway and the city centre. www.brasserieplato.nl
