Plates Restaurant and Wine Bar has its very own sommelier* at hand to help patrons choose the wine that best suits the occasion. Each wine is served in the specific glass designed for it, concentrating the aroma to emphasise the wine's flavour, and directing the wine itself into the best area of the mouth for that particular wine. In short Plates is the place to go in Lusaka if you're a wine connoisseur.
