We were visiting from Las Vegas and this is a Great little cozy place to dine, food was flavorful and delicious. All the staff was very warm and welcoming,friendly and our server Camilla was truly helpful and attentive. Hopefully I got her name correct if not I'm so sorry but she is from Brazil and her English was great The owner was even friendly and gave us a specialty shot they made which was smooth and delicious! And it was on the house!We highly recommend this place. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!

Creme brûlée

I really enjoyed my brunch in Platform 61 the other day. They've got a lot of elements spot-on: - Bottomless mimosas on Saturdays and Sundays (hate to start with that as the first point, but what can I say, it's a winner! - Excellent food. Stand out dish for me is the creme caramel. It's divine. (and anywhere that offers deserts on top of brunch is A-OK with me!) - Service with a smile - gorgeously friendly staff - Slick decor - see if you can find the hidden toilets.... - Lots of themed events from Roald Dahl to Studio 54 New Yok Pro-tip: Get a free cocktail with every check in!!! Winner!

Huevos Rancheros and Coconut Ravioli

Best brunch I've EVER had- and I don't say that lightly. Everything was so flavorful- the ingredients and portions used were perfect. And the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Lastly, for outdoor dining they had heat lamps and blankets which was awesome.

Stun bun

Bottomless mimosas for €15 !!! But that's not where the goodness ends. Came here or brunch on a Saturday afternoon without reservation and managed to get a table. The service was pretty flawless. I ordered the Stun Bun which is a grilled chicken fillet in a brioche bun with guacamole, tomato, onion, lettuce and tomato relish. This came with spicy sweet potato wedges. Delicious and perfectly cooked. The wedges are soooo nice! The bottomless mimosas for €15 applies when you order any main course and it lasts for 1.5 hours. They mean bottomless, my glass wasn't empty before a second one appeared on the table. I also had a dessert which was a white chocolate and raspberry creme brulee. It was lush! This place is tucked away on South William Street. It is definitely worth seeking out.

Yummy pate

Very cutesy little restaurant tucked away on the basement level on South William Street. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating and the food was great. We got a free cocktail for checking in with Yelp and a complimentary coffee after our meal due to a mix - up with our booking, so happy customers all round! Can't speak for the prices/value of the menu as we were eating out on a voucher, which was excellent value for money. I had the chicken pate to start, which was delicious and served with a fruity/spicy compote and sea-bass with tomato risotto for my main, which managed to be virtuous while tasting very indulgent. I really enjoyed both courses and also the house red that was part of the voucher we were dining on. The dessert was definitely the weakest component of the meal, it was billed as a trio or medley of desserts but arrived to the table as three separate minuscule plates of brownie, Eton Mess and baklava. It just felt a bit cobbled together - not a cohesive dessert but rather a little taste of three separate sweets. Still, I really enjoyed the meal and thought the staff were really lovely so I'd recommend this place if you find yourself looking for a bite in this part of the city.

Complimentary cocktail

Tagged along with a few friends to this spot on a last minute decision. Wasn't very hungry but definitely glad I came!! The place looks cool, nice vibe and staff were very good. I went for the bread and hummus which was absolutely spot on, especially the tomato based one. I followed this with the sweet potatoes which were massive, not the best I've ever had but still tasty!! A massive plus for the Yelp checkin. A complimentary cocktail, it was a fruity beer based concoction and delicious :)

A very excellent red recommended to us by the server!

By the time we wandered up to Platform 61 it was probably 10:30 at night - had decided a little spontaneously to do late nibbles and drinks but were failing to find anywhere with a kitchen still open - and they were still doing their cheese and meat platter type things. After finding nothing at the last 6 or 7 places we popped into, this sounded great to us! Important to note is that this place only has a small sign outside of it and you have to walk down a narrow staircase to the door so it could be easy to miss if you didn't keep a sharp eye out. It's kind of modern inside, dark décor with a tiny bar area (staff only) separating the front and back rooms. The fact that the entrance is sunken down from street level makes it feel a bit more intimate and the bustle on the street doesn't distract from the cool atmosphere inside. We ordered one each of the cheese and meat platters - the cheese platter was decent (although there was an apple/onion chutney thing which was outrageously delish) but the meat platter - and specifically the olives on it - really blew us away! The wine recommendation from the server was spot-on as well, didn't break the bank for a bottle but went down really easily and (as a red) was great especially with the meats. Obviously can't comment on the main courses or desserts since we weren't there when the kitchen was actually open, but this did exactly the trick - great ambience, good nibbles, wine that was easy on the palate and the wallet, and good service, right in the area we needed it to be! Will definitely be back to try the desserts at least as the descriptions looked delectable.

This is a great little restaurant that is almost hidden in the basement level of one of the old Victorian buildings on South WIlliam Street. Being underground and tightly packed, it has much of the vibe of a restaurant you might find in the Village or the Lower East Side in New York, the city for which the restaurant is named. I went to Platform 61 for the first time this past weekend with a group of friends. I'll start by saying that the venue and the staff were wonderful throughout the evening. As for the food, we started by sharing a meat platter and a bread and dip platter. The bread and sun dried tomato dip were both particularly good and disappeared off the table in no time. The mains were the only weakness. I ordered the steak which was overly salted and was delivered to me well done despite asking for it medium rare. A number of my friends ordered burgers and they were also saying that they had over-cooked and over-salted the burgers as well.. The desserts did make up for it (thus the four stars) as we tried multiple desserts and all were delicious. Overall I would recommend the restaurant for a nice night out but I might recommend against ordering the beef based on our experience.

Hake (flavorful, tender, practically creamy) in the foreground, vegan risotto in the background.

Very much enjoyed this. We had a huge range of dietary needs (from a near-carniverous Greek to a vegan from California) and each of us had a beautiful meal and wine. I recommend the fish (hake I think it was?) which came in a beautiful sauce and a bed of veg and mussels. The bruschetta could be made vegan. The steak was cooked nicely and flavorful and came with some truly beautifully cooked oyster mushrooms (not chewy at all-- perfectly tender). Our waiter recommended a risotto from off the menu to our vegan diner. Not a magical or inventive vegan meal, but a solid risotto. With a nice glass of wine, this one counted as a success for all of us. Cheers!

This is a hidden little gem on South William Street We were given a really warm welcome. The vibe is really cool and I definitely could have stayed for more cocktails. We forgot to take pictures as the food was so well presented and ate it straight away. I had a super tasty chicken burger "Stun Bun" my boyfriend had Steak & eggs which was also delicous. The food was so well priced and I can't wait to already go back.

Asparagus with parma ham. Exactly what it looks like

See all
