About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Innovative
A staple of downtown Wilmington since 2016, Platypus & Gnome is located at 9 South Front
Street. Known for its always unique, always delicious menu, Platypus & Gnome's main focus is its
variety of wild and exotic game. Their meats are sustainably sourced and a low-fat, high-protein option that is rich with flavor. The kitchen is always seeking to push flavors and create exciting new dishes, so menus do rotate seasonally. Fall features root vegetables, warm baking spices, and hearty meals perfect for cooler weather. Spring brings lighter Mediterranean flavors, plenty of fresh citrus, and shareable apps to enjoy while taking advantage of long sunny afternoons on the patio. The bar includes craft beers on draft, a full wine list, and a lineup of refreshing signature cocktails that also changes seasonally. Platypus & Gnome is the place for a meal you won't forget.

    Elk poutine & candied bacon for apps, wild boar/bacon/chicken bbq panini & elk burger with Roquefort/carmelized shallots/wild mushrooms/red wine reduction for entrees. Plus tequila & beer make for a fun evening downtown. Loved the building; looking forward to checking out the new location near Wrightsville Beach.

    The restaurant was boiling and very uncomfortable. In today’s day and age, effective a/c should be a given. The heat really put a damper on the evening. Food was adequate. I would not return

    Food was good but service was not great. We were there about 20 mins before a waitress ever came by. It also took at least 1h 20 mins to get food after ordering. People who came 30 mins and more after us had their food before us.

    Went fur Lunch/brunch. 2nd time dining there. I really like the place because of all the wild hanger meats they offer. Good drinks. My wife loves the hand scrub in the bathrooms... soft hands and I'll stop there!!

    No AC in the restaurant so it was rough in the 90 degree weather. Server was great, chicken was raw in the middle.
