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

Went for Mother’s Day dinner and first time back since new owners. Great no fuss menu and good kids options. Seafood platter was great,all fresh and oysters and prawns were fantastic. Staff had clearly had a big day but we didn’t mind a little wait for attention and wine top-ups. Overall very good and we’ll definitely be back..would love to try a brekky sometime soon.
