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

Delightful dinner. Only blemishes were table not being ready by the reserved time and also not having one large table (we had two small round tables put together). Otherwise the food and wine were both outstanding and our waitstaff were excellent and very knowledgeable about the menu.
