Great hospitality deserves real attention
There are countless ways to find places—maps, rankings, ads. But how do you know which ones are actually worth your time?
At Plekkies, we don’t feature just any spot. We carefully select places we’d personally recommend. No endless scrolling or second-guessing. Just a collection of restaurants, cafés, and bars that are genuinely great.
And when a place deserves more attention, we make sure it reaches the right people. No random ads—just thoughtful recommendations that make sense.
Because finding the right place should feel easy. And when you get there, it should feel exactly right.
01. Pick your occasion
Whether it’s drinks, dinner, lunch, breakfast, coffee, or a night out, we know what's hot.
HOW IT WORKS
Make your choice with confidence. and skip the endless reviews. You can trust that our hospitality expertise backs every recommendation.
03. Discover handpicked selections
Use our quick filters to narrow down your options. Need a terrace? Vegan-friendly food? A spot for flex working? It’s all there!
02. Refine your search
A selection you can trust
We’ve selected every location using years of hospitality expertise. No random listings, no clutter – just the best spots for every occasion.
Easy-to-use filters
With some simple steps, you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for. From cozy coffee bars to juicy nightclubs, our system lets you refine your search easily.
Always up-to-date
With our event calendar, you’ll always know what’s happening at the best hotspots, without the hassle of keeping up with dozens of social media accounts.
Wait... Why no public reviews?
We get it – reviews can be helpful. But too often, they’re skewed by unfair complaints or one-off experiences that don’t reflect the real quality of a location. This is especially true for places like nightclubs, where reviews might be written by someone upset about being denied entry or removed after drinking too much.
Instead of relying on this flawed system, we’ve chosen to feature only locations that meet our high standards, based on years of firsthand experience in the hospitality industry.
But don’t worry – we still listen. If you want to suggest a hotspot, we'd love to hear about it! On the other hand, when someone has a serious, repeated issue with a location, we’re here to hear it and work with that spot to help them improve.
