• Modern Australian • Double Bay

Margaret is a neighbourhood restaurant at its core, but it’s also evolved into something more than that. It’s about comfort, generosity, and cosiness.At Margaret, we work with the best quality produce that Australia has to offer. Chef Neil Perry AM has spent years developing relationships with some of the best suppliers in the country. We are predominantly a seafood restaurant and are very fortunate to receive our seafood direct from our fishermen, caught sustainably and dry filleted here onsite at Margaret, so we can ensure that all that love and care our wonderful fisherman have taken is seen all the way through. The menu at Margaret is diverse and inspired by all the flavours that Neil has been collecting over his 45+ years in the industry. Margaret

Great service on a busy Valentines Day, the staff were attentive at the right times. We enjoyed ceviche, steak, roast peppers and more with a bottle of Semillon, and finished with desserts. Everything was shareable and we didn’t feel rushed out of an early dining time (6:30).

Delicious food for the three of us. Great service thanks to Mia, who looked after us a treat. She was very friendly and helpful, a real asset to the restaurant. We sat outside but when rain came we were quickly moved inside to a table left spare for such an issue. We had a fantastic afternoon and night celebrating our daughter's birthday. We will come again. Thanks Mia and Bartiga's.

Seriously good cocktails and an ambience that can’t be found anywhere else. The chocolate old fashioned and espresso martini are unequivocally perfect. Loved it.
