Product Description
The Olympia Cafe Coupe plate is a stoneware side or starter plate finished in a deep charcoal glaze. At 205mm in diameter, it sits comfortably as a bread plate, a starter plate, or a side for sharing dishes. The coupe profile — no rim, with a gently curved edge — keeps presentation clean and gives chefs a straightforward canvas for plating without the formality of traditional hotelware.
Stoneware is a practical choice for busy table service environments. It holds temperature reasonably well, feels substantial in the hand without being unwieldy, and the charcoal colourway works well as a neutral backdrop for a wide range of food styles. The rolled, chip-resistant edges are worth noting for operational use — plates at this size move through service quickly and the edge finish helps them hold up in high-throughput environments where contact with trays, racks, and other crockery is constant.
- Charcoal glaze suits both contemporary and casual dining aesthetics
- Chip-resistant rolled edges reduce breakage in busy service
- Coupe profile provides a clean, uncluttered plating surface
- Stoneware construction gives good weight and heat retention
- Part of the broader Olympia Cafe range for mix-and-match flexibility
These plates are supplied in boxes of 12, which is practical for opening par stock or topping up an existing cover. Because they sit within the wider Olympia Cafe range, operators can mix the charcoal with other colourways from the same collection to create deliberate contrast or a graduated look across different courses. If you are equipping a larger dining room or need a full cover set across multiple plate sizes, it is worth considering how many boxes your anticipated cover count and wash cycle turnaround will require before ordering.
This plate is well suited to cafés, bistros, casual dining restaurants, and any operation looking to move away from plain white hotelware without committing to a complex or expensive tableware range. The 205mm size works best as a starter, side, or dessert plate rather than a main course plate for generous portions.
If you are building out a full table setting or are unsure how this fits alongside other pieces in the Cafe range, we are happy to talk it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- As a general guide, most operators plan for two to three times their seated cover count to allow for plates in service, on the pass, and moving through the wash cycle. For a 40-cover restaurant using these as starter plates, three to four boxes would typically provide a workable par. Higher-volume or faster-turnover operations may need more.
- Stoneware is generally dishwasher safe and suitable for commercial rack or conveyor dishwashers. The chip-resistant edge finish helps the plates withstand the knocks of rack loading and unloading, though as with any crockery, care in handling will extend the life of the glaze.
- Yes — the Olympia Cafe range is designed to be used as a coordinated collection, and the charcoal glaze is consistent across the different plate sizes and shapes within that colourway. This makes it straightforward to build a full cover using multiple sizes from the same range, or to mix charcoal with other Cafe colourways for a more deliberate contrast.
