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

Food largely beautiful. Kitchen super slow. 12:30 booking and mains came out after 2:15pm. Told to give up the table while eating. Shame as my 91 year old mother would have appreciated the dessert. We were offered to have it in a separate restaurant next door, but given the biblical rains, not an option. Wasn’t a special occasion in the least and not great to be forced out to navigate the weather

Margaret deserves to be regarded as one of Australia's premier restaurants. From the moment you step in and are greeted by friendly and efficient staff, the whole experience one of pleasure and reward. The food is of course the pleasure - so fresh and amazing flavours. The reward is to be looked after by smiling and attentive wait staff who seem to know what you might want before even asking. yes it is an expensive meal, but well worth it for special occasions or if you really do need to just celebrate life.

What a fantastic dinning experience for my sons 23rd Birthday. Food was ontime and wonderful. Service was exceptional and could not complain about the staff. A totally salubrious experience for the whole family. I have to confess it wasn't cheap, but if you want a cheap meal with little service go to KFC. Will be back again at some point in time. Highly recommended as a memorable high end dining experience.
