The Playful Plate

Pull up a chair for playful theatre under the sky

The Playful Plate: A Restaurant With Nothing to Eat

A glowing outdoor “restaurant” pops up across the Coast serving stories instead of snacks. Sit at a tiny table with two playful fools and enjoy 15 minutes of laughter, imagination and human connection. Free, family-friendly and deliciously strange.

The Playful Plate is a pop-up outdoor restaurant where stories, not food, are on the menu. Step inside a glowing dining space and enjoy a short, playful encounter guided by two friendly fools. Expect 15–20 minutes of gentle silliness, imagination and human connection.

Free, family-friendly and drop-in. No bookings required. Sharing is optional and you can opt out anytime — this experience is designed to be welcoming to everyone.

Created by local artist Alicia Gonzalez + Ali Gordon and supported by Creative Art Central and the Central Coast Council.
