PlayStation to Plate lets you try video game dishes at real restaurants

PlayStation to Plate sees PlayStation Australia partner with local restaurants to bring to life digital dishes from iconic PlayStation games.

Ever seen a video game plate of food and thought to yourself, “gee whiz what would that taste like?” Well wonder no more, friends, because PlayStation Australia has you covered thanks to PlayStation to Plate.

A tasty new initiative, PlayStation Australia has partnered with a number of restaurants across Sydney and Melbourne to help recreate some delicious video game dishes in real life.

First up we have Ellie’s post-apocalyptic Steak Sandwich from The Last of Us Part II. It comes courtesy of beloved Sydney burger joint Mary’s who certainly have plenty of experience serving ravenous customers.

Next up is Newtown’s Italian bowl, whose chefs have harnessed their pasta prowess to whip up what’s being dubbed ‘Thief’s Pasta’ – a recreation of the dinner Nate and Elena have at the beginning of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End.

Then finally, for the all the sweet tooths, Melbourne’s Bistro Morgan have stepped up to the plate to recreate Chef Tulio’s Sirangian Honey Mousse from Ratchet & Clank: A Rift Apart.

We don’t know about you but our tummy’s are grumbling.

“The last 18 months have truly highlighted the importance of play in our lives, The worlds of gaming and food have offered escapism and enjoyment for Aussies when we’ve needed it more than ever,” says Patrick Lagana, Director of Marketing, PlayStation Australia. “So, it seems fitting that we have brought these two cultures together, merging some of the best games and best restaurants to create a whole new experience for foodies and players alike.

With PlayStation to Plate we wanted to bring the virtual into reality and show that play has no limits, on the console and on the plate. We can’t wait for people to try these iconic dishes and experience the worlds of Uncharted, The Last of Us and Ratchet & Clank like never before.”

All three dishes will be available from December 3 to December 13. To get them down your gob for yourself, you can either visit the participating venues or order online via Deliveroo.
