About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for fine wines
  • Fancy
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

    Nice. I thought the food was more bistro like than fine dining. I did like the wine list and the "by the glass" offers interesting options. Service was very good.

    Great food, team very nice. Bar manager is great happy to talk through all the range. It is on the higher price if you’re getting the steaks but it’s sooo worth it.

    My family was visiting from Brisbane, and I wanted to impress them with a memorable dining experience. Our waiter, Clarence, was incredible—being Filipino like us, he truly understood our tastes and offered excellent recommendations. We were a party of three and ordered an array of delicious dishes. For entrées, we enjoyed the sashimi, Thai salad, steak tartare, calamari, and scallop. For our mains, we savoured the trout, the Wagyu, and the Mishima Blade—a rare breed of beef that only a select few restaurants serve—alongside sides of potatoes, pumpkin, and boiled greens. Of course, we couldn’t skip dessert: the wedding cake, trifle, and crème caramel were all excellent, with the crème caramel being our favourite. Margaret’s drink pairings were also delightful, and the staff were incredibly helpful in suggesting the perfect beverages to complement our meal. Every member of the team was attentive, and it was clear they strive for excellence in every detail, treating every guest like a VIP. We thoroughly enjoyed both the food and the entire experience—this is a meal my family will remember for years to come. The bar has truly been set. Maraming salamat, Clarence and the Margaret team!

    Margaret was off the Richter scale last night. The three of us shared 2 magnificent black truffle omelettes to start and then had a crab salad as the 1kg steak we ordered was a 40 minute wait and boy was it worth waiting for. A couple of sides along with some cold tap beer and beautiful Grenache left us all beyond satisfied. Best restaurant in Australia without doubt.

    Extremely slow service. Waited up to and hour for our main meals. The Table adjacent arrived after we received our first cocktails. The Table next to us was finished their mains and onto deserts and we still where waiting for our mains. Adjacent table had left the building when our mains finally arrived. Not good. Yes they assisted with a free desert, however left us feeling down and not an enjoyable evening. Would not recommend as too busy to attend to their Customers properly. For between $400 and $500 for 2 people you would expect a better experience.
