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

As always, service was impeccable and food was amazing. We were celebrating a birthday, and the staff were fantastic in making the birthday girl feel special - right down to a hand-written note from Neil. Margaret continues to be flawless - and the experience unsurpassed - they deserve all the accolades they receive - no other restaurant comes close to executing the perfect evening.

We recently celebrated our 61st Wedding Anniversary by dining at Margaret. From the minute we arrived the Evening was just wonderful. The staff very attentative and efficient. The service was impeccable, the presentation of dishes superb and the flavours mouth watering. At no stage did we feel rushed even though there is a two hour window for dining. Would thoroughly recommend and will return again in the not too distant future.

We had a wonderful experience at Margaret for lunch. We were visiting from interstate and Margaret had been recommended to us. It did not disappoint! The food, wine, ambience and service were all amazing. The fig and walnut soufflé pudding was divine. Would definitely recommend and come back again. Thank you!

A wonderful dining experience with close friends. The wait staff were gracious, friendly and helpful. The 4 fish meals we had were outstanding in flavours, presentation and portions. The only complaint would be the exhorbitant wine prices, considering Australia produces excellent wine at affordable prices. Also, the delicious cocktails were served in tiny glasses. A slightly bigger glass would be appreciated. However, the food is worth a return. 🤗
