A dispenser of individual disposable food plates is also described, initially stacked according to the invention. The dispenser comprises a loading platform of a stack of plates, comprising in turn an discharge opening through which the first plate of the stack falls by gravity when separated from the stack and a separating element of the first plate of the stack with respect to the remaining plates of the stack, able to be actuated in rotation by the user.
