Wonderful surprise: absolutely delicious!!! We had the king prawns and the avocado tartine: both amazing. The king prawns were so good we want the recipe for the green sauce. The staff are lovely. It was a truly enjoyable lunch.

Best meal we’ve had this year, as of time of writing. I had the bourgignon and my partner had guinea fowl. In both cases, perfectly cooked with amazing sauces and sides. Dessert was similarly delightful. Nice ambience. Great wine list. Highly recommended.

Margaux has the feel of a bar or saloon, with dim warm light. The menus use a slightly hard-to-read font, and we saw multiple people using phone flashlights to read them. We had the black truffle gnocchi, black ink tortelloni, foie gras with figs, and cheesecake. The foie gras was served with normal white bread, which was rather disappointing - I'd hoped for sourdough or baguette chips. The tortelloni was okay, but I will happily say that the giant cheese-filled gnocchi was the best I'd ever had. The cheesecake was whipped very well, so it was light and fluffy, and very tasty. For us, the service was good. I managed to get a tea with ice even though it wasn't on the menu, and the food came out quickly. We had a water jug, so never had to wait for water. We did find the table a tad small for two, so perhaps keep that in mind. One thing that I feel would be remiss not to point out, though - we noticed that a woman with a cane was initially offered a downstairs table (mind that there is no elevator, and the stairs are rather steep), and only after some argument was the woman offered a ground floor seat. This did seem a bit odd to us, as there were empty tables on the ground floor when the woman showed up. The restaurant is also not wheelchair accessible - the restrooms are downstairs and, as noted, can only be accessed via stairs. In all, I think it was okay for us pair of able-bodied folk, but for anyone with less mobility, perhaps not.

Nice place with a casual dining ambiance. Our main courses were well executed plates (beef bourguignon and duck breast) and the waiter recommended a nice bottle of Grenache from Spain that paired well.

I discovered this gem in Kensington quite by accident, and have not enjoyed such a happy accident in a long time. Relaxed and comfortable ambience, professional staff who understand how to be gently attentive to your table’s needs, and remarkable food. I had the soup, a cold golden tomato preparation that I could have sworn was made from oranges and strawberries. An asparagus salad, playfully built up like a fort with sides of red endive and romaine, the asparagus hiding inside under a cooked ceiling of halved quail eggs. Five-star tarte tatin for afters, and an ample wine list. This is the kind of restaurant that makes you want to come back with a dozen friends so you can share and taste every single dish on the menu.

Beautiful local South Kensington local french bistro/restaurant located 5 minutes from our hotel. Our waitress was from south america and was more than helpful. The food was amazing. We had a prawn starter, fillet of beef and Beef Bourguignon for mains were excellent. the desserts were outstanding, a chessecake with passionfruit and the chocolate mouse with the port was to die for. Lovely meal all round. We had a red wine to wash it all down. Only little niggle is the wines are rather expensive. Our bill came to 175.00 pounds in total. In fairness, this is London, the quality of the food and presentation was very good. Would recommend for the food.

Lovely early evening dinner, second time around. The asparagus salad was a particular standout. The wild boar ragu pappardelle was perfectly cooked and the beef bourgignon was as good as ever. I’m not convinced about the tarte tatin, it’s just not good enough serving stewed apple on a partially caramelised pastry base. This is not how it should be presented. But I would still return

Lovely quiet Monday night dinner at Margaux. The place has a NYC vibe to the decor and the food was light and tasty. Felt satisfied with the value paid at the end. Service was a bit stand-offish rather than pro-active, and had to hail the waiter over to get served and top up drinks. Overall, however, this did not take too much away from the experience and my dinner guest and I agreed we would be back - great neighbourhood find.

The food was for the most part absolutely gorgeous, but the service was only just above average. My only complaint with the food was my dessert and wine pairing, which was the tarte Tatin and the tokaji aszu puttonyos 6. While both amazing separately, the pairing of an incredibly sweet wine with a sweet dessert seems odd. It felt like a total lack of balance, and moreso just an excuse to sell the wine where it fit nowhere else on the menu. Otherwise, a great meal in a cosy yet industrial feeling restaurant.

The food my wife and I ate here was simply superb. My wife booked us in, and I’m normally not such a fan of French cuisine - I find it normally too rich. This was just perfect. We started with salads of octopus and asparagus. They were both were simple but with surprising ingredients that you could taste separately and together. The octopus came with butter beans that were really melting and the asparagus came with a Parmesan crisp so each dish was a sensation of excellent ingredients and lovely textures. The mains we had were tortellini of crab, and swordfish. The swordfish was probably the best I have ever had (better even than the lovely memories of eating it down by the sea in Amalfi) - so tender and pink - and it came with a kind of Thai style salad with a perfect kick of chilli and freshness to complement the fish. Wonderful! The pasta my wife had was just al dente and the sauce was the perfect balance of salty and creamy without being too much of either. We will definitely be back soon! Thank you so much!

After a disappointing experience at their sister restaurant Bandol, Margaux was a breath of fresh air. The quality of the dishes was superb, simple items but executed fantastically.

The staff we're very accommodating from booking the dinner for 7 people to when we arrived and allocating us our seat. It was such a lovely environment for dinner and the waitress was extremely friendly and warm. The bartender served us some delicious drinks. We got there just after 6pm and it didn't get louder as more people came so I would recommend a late lunch for the serene calm lunch to dinner feel. Definitely value for money. I think the only thing that may have tainted the experience marginally was the waiter. When it came to paying, he said he didn't have time to calculate or split the bill and we didn't ask him to do this. We were going to work things out for ourselves. It just presented a bit of awkwardness to a otherwise delightful experience. We weren't rushed to leave either. The food is affordable, though was a little warm rather than piping hot when served, but we were talking so much and laughing it was a minor thing. I may try the place again, if only for the ambience, food, waitress and bartender. My friends and I agreed it was a lovely evening x

Nice food and good atmosphere upstairs - wouldn't want to sit downstairs as it was no where near the same experience. Food was good, although it was rushed to us - we arrived at 7pm and it seemed the kitchen wanted to keep ahead of the game so that the later sittings could get their food in time. Starters arrived within 10 mins of ordering, and we had our mains only half an hour after arriving. Food was very good, although we felt the prices did not match the quality - for what we paid (£170 per couple) I would have expected another notch better.

We have been to Margaux several times simply because their food used to be outstanding quality and although a bit pricey, the quality was worth it. Yesterday however the quality of the food was not there. Ingredients were not fresh and it felt doshes had been in fridge for a couple days and then heated. We ordered wine, the first glass was nice, the second I could tell was not the same wine I could not finish it. The waiter forgot to bring our port wine and had to be reminded of things frequently. He also had a strong smell (sweat). We provided feedback on the quality of the food to the manager who took on the feedback and removed the starters from our bill. Overall we payed £80 per person for food and service which were not worth this price at all. Not sure after this experience we will be back, there are plenty of restaurants in the area and in London in general with great quality food at similar or lower prices. Its a shame as in previous times the food had been fresh and delliciois.
