Weekday lunch meatball bolognese at Plate, a Daejeon pasta restaurant
Plate is a Western restaurant in Sunhwa-dong, Jung-gu, Daejeon, where fresh hand-cut pasta and steak share one menu. On a weekday lunch visit with a friend, Plate served a Classic Meatball Bolognese and a Steak Cream Ragù, both ordered with noodle number 5, and the portions were generous enough for two. The nearby public parking lots were full and the dining room was busy, but the relaxed mood makes Plate an easy choice for a catch-up with friends or a date.
