Margot

Margot is the kind of neighbourhood restaurant that locals quietly treasure and visitors wish they had discovered sooner. With just 26 seats, the intimate space feels relaxed and personal, allowing the focus to remain firmly on the food, drinks and hospitality. Owners Tom and Juno have created something exceptionally special here, delivering modern European-inspired small plates that are deceptively simple yet executed with remarkable precision. Familiar favourites remain on the menu but evolve subtly over time, giving regular diners a reason to return again and again. One must-have dish features raw trevally dressed with smoked olive oil, citrus and rosemary, where bright acidity and gentle smokiness elevate the pristine fish without overwhelming it. The presentation is unfussy but considered. The drinks offering reflects the same thoughtful approach as the food, effortless on the surface but underpinned by exceptional skill, Margot is a true hidden gem.
