About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
  • Hot spot
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

    I was sitting at a table with my friends, trying to decide on the menu. A staff member, with a blunt expression and tone, asked if we wanted to order drinks. I told them we hadn't decided yet. After a while, the same staff member came back and asked again if we were ready to order drinks. I said we still needed a little more time, but the staff member seemed like they were about to take the menu away, urging us to make a decision quickly. While ordering food, I was annoyed by the staff's attitude but didn’t want to ruin the atmosphere, so I just ate the food. However, when I was eating the cauliflower side dish, I found a hair in it. This was truly an unusual experience, especially at such a high-end restaurant. The staff took the dish away and said they would remake it for free. Is this a joke? Are they offering it for free, or are they still going to charge me for it? I don't recommend Margaret to anyone. The steak was good, but we're not just paying for the steak itself. We're paying for the service and the atmosphere of the gathering that day. My experience at Margaret was not enjoyable.

    Excellent and friendly service. Nice ambience. However, all the food was too salty. Steak was ok but underwhelming for that price point. Entrees were nice and appropriately portioned but flavours were not particularly exciting. Dessert was good - we ordered the souffle and wedding cake.

    Expectations were high and Margaret over delivered. From the initial greeting through to the farewell the service was exceptional. The menu is long and super interesting and everything we ordered from the bread and butter to the Korean tuna to the mushroom pie was delicious. We skipped dessert opting for a grasshopper cocktail instead. And yet again we were impressed.

    An exceptional experience for a special occasion. I had my doubts that Margaret could live up to its stellar reputation, but it exceeded every expectation. The setting is modern, elegant, and welcoming, perfectly complementing the outstanding food and a wine list that truly boggles the mind. It was certainly an expensive evening, but given the overall quality of the food, service, and atmosphere, I believe it represented good value. Hope to return sooner rathe rather than later.

    We celebrated ( low key ) my son's birthday. The food quality was very good and the service was exceptional. There is quite a large variety of choices on the menu with an overwhelmingly good wine and drinks list. I quite enjoyed the variety of Mezcals. We will most definitely be back.
