Margot in City of London, Westminster

Asistimos a una reunión de ex alumnos en Margot. Éramos más de 20. Estábamos en la habitación de abajo tan aislados de otros comensales El servicio fue excelente y gestionaron muy bien la logística Tuvimos un menú restringido, pre-elegido, por lo que esta opinión no puede comentar el menú a la carta Había una selección de burrata y calabaza, carpaccio de lubina y sarro de ternera para empezar. Tuve la lubina que es bueno y las otras opciones fueron bien comentados Los principales incluían pato a l'orange, risotto de remolacha o filete de salmón. El pato estaba excelente, cocinado bien, algo que muchos restaurantes malinterpretan cuando sirven a una gran multitud. Una vez más, las otras redes fueron bien recibidas. Para terminar tuvimos una elección de helado, bueno, tiramisú o panna cotta, de nuevo bien recibido Colectivamente estábamos muy contentos con la comida y el servicio

Comimos en Margot’s para cenar antes de un espectáculo y fue fantástico! El servicio fue rápido y la comida era increíble. Un poco en el lado caro, pero bien vale la pena!

Decent place but not so great mains. Scallops were really good

Food okay, nothing special. Milanese pretty much flavourless for £45 and tiramisu verging on terrible. Service poor / very poor besides one member of bar staff.

Los entrantes fueron geniales. Los platos principales eran «muy caros» el plato de ternera solo consistía en un gran trozo de ternera que era soso y un poco de ensalada por £ 40 + para ese plato? Las chirivías estaban un poco crudas y mi Halibut no era tan bueno. Los postres estaban bien. El helado había empezado a derretirse cuando salió. No dije nada en ese momento porque mi pareja me estaba tratando por mi cumpleaños y no quería arruinar la ocasión. El servicio era muy bueno. No volvería a ir de nuevo - un poco bajo abrumador.

We went there for my mum's birthday in july. The service was fantastic, the staff gave my mum a birthday card which she really appreciated. The food was stunning, I had a lot more of the focaccia than I'd be proud to admit to, but absolutely worth it. Although one thing I will say is the wheelchair ramp could be a bit more stable as my mum struggled with it, but I will definitely be return.

Visité anoche para una cena de aniversario y no decepcionó. La comida, el servicio y el ambiente eran todos excepcionales. El personal es acogedor, amable y atento. Nos encantó la vista abierta de la cocina, las mesas están bien espaciadas, y la decoración es elegante. En general una de las mejores comidas que hemos tenido en Londres en mucho tiempo. Definitivamente volveremos pronto!

At this moment, returning to Margot would take a divine act. I was looking forward to a nice evening out at a posh Italian restaurant following a theater show. What I instead encountered was a series of hygiene blunders so bad you’d think it was an episode of Gordon Ramsays kitchen nightmares. The check in hostess was kind, the general manager Hicham Chegra was understanding and cordial but there’s simply no way past kitchen employees not washing their hands before leaving the restroom and the bartender coughing into his hands while assembling cocktails going to guests. 1 star for the curated atmosphere, 1 star for the pasta dish, the other 3 went into the waste bin without effort. With managerial led correction, Margot can flourish, but I will not be a patron.

Had the pre theatre fixed menu. Great food and good value. Service was excellent. Would love to come back again for a proper meal.

they should probably note in the menu that fish with grape sauce actually means they dump cream on it.

Excellent evening with great plates of food.

What a restaurant. From the time you enter the door greeted with friends staff. Menu is lovely, and this restaurant serves the best italian i have had in London. Will most definitely go there again

Cenamos aquí para nuestra cena de aniversario. No decepcionó. El servicio era excepcional y la comida era de primera clase. Sin duda volveremos a visitar Margot de nuevo en el futuro. No podemos recomendar este restaurante lo suficientemente alto. Absolutamente perfecto en todos los sentidos.

The food was average. I’m not sure what the hype is but the burrata didn’t feel fresh and the pasta was average. The veal Milanese didn’t taste too nice either. For the price and quality of food and service, I would rate it a 3.9/4 not a 4.6.

Worth a visit for dinner. Good food and nice wine list

Avoid at all costs. One of the worst dining experiences I have ever had with the rudest staff in the business.

My friend said: the food was super disgusting. Supppppppper!

We had the most stressful and awful day in London, but the Margot staff made our anniversary day a little bit brighter! The staff was very friendly, attentive and the food was amazing. We highly recommend the cured salmon for starters and crab ravioli for main. They made us feel special during the dinner and even after by surprising us with a hand written letter congratulating on our anniversary. Thank you Margot team!

No estoy seguro de por qué no había oído hablar de este restaurante, pero me alegro de haberlo descubierto, ya que tuvimos una comida muy agradable aquí esta noche. Me encantó la decoración y el ambiente (fabulosos baños de señoras). El servicio fue muy agradable. Gran grito por la milanesa de ternera y el postre de coco que era absolutamente delicioso. El cóctel mandarín fizz era precioso.

Had a really great time there! Everythingvwas yummy but the foccacia and beef carpaccio were a highlight.

Teníamos una pasta fantástica con trufas y un filete perfectamente cocinado, así como una innovadora parmigiana. Hay una amplia carta de vinos, el personal es atento, acogedor y eficiente. ¡Todos regresarán felices aquí!

It’s actually beyond my expectations. We thought we won’t be able to feel filling after fine dining but I was wrong. We ordered two course set each. Highly recommend stuffed squid as starter and seafood risotto as main. Staff are very friendly. They took the wrong order but gave us the wrong dish for free which is acceptable. Cord is a bit tasteless but very fresh.

En general, buena calidad, pero con un precio excesivo para entrantes de vieiras muy pequeñas, un tazón de pasta y una botella de vino entre 3 a £ 73 cada uno! No volvería

This is such a ridiculous restaurant. They used so many photos of dachshunds on the dining tables, and even their logo is a dachshund. Yet, they don't allow dogs inside? That's so misleading! I visited the restaurant because I saw their Instagram page and brought my dachshund, but they weren’t welcoming at all. So we sat outside, and no one checked if the food was good or if we were satisfied. It’s cold outside, and the food got cold quickly. I understand it’s an open kitchen, so no pets are allowed, but could you mention on social media that it’s not a pet-friendly restaurant or stop posting pictures of dogs on the tables? You market a dog-loving image, but in reality, you don’t seem to care about dogs. Also, the server’s response seemed polite, but she was passive-aggressive. She said that dogs aren’t allowed in any restaurants in the UK. I told her I’ve brought my dog to many restaurants and even listed a few, but she said she hadn’t heard of them, claiming they’re not well-known. She’s been a server for so many years and still hasn’t heard that some restaurants allow dogs. Maybe she needs more years of experience to learn.

Business lunch for VIP customer stakeholders near their offices, this was their choice (apparently through a google search of nice places near by). Food fantastic excepting one starter which was not to our guest’s taste, crab ravioli, salmon and scallop dishes all phenomenal, house wine very good. Service excellent - attentive without being annoying. Good atmosphere (packed without being too loud) for a Thursday lunchtime in a relatively quiet London (sunny day). Small error on starters was rectified with everyone being reserved together although we’d have eaten what they had mistakenly brought, I hope the first lot didn’t go in the bin!! Thanks team Margot!

Ambiente agradável, serviço cordial. Reservamos com um dia de antecedência, é necessário cadastrar cartão de crédito para cobrança, no caso de não comparecimento. Experimentamos o ravioli de caranguejo (muito bom) e o peixe, que estava bom mas a porção é bem pequena.

Absolutely delicious food, friendly and attentive staff and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend the Steak, melts in the mouth!

Exceptional food, service and atmosphere. Highly recommend the Steak and the bread sticks are delicious! Made fresh every day!

1) ordered sparkling water that the waitress split all over the table 2) cheese board came with stale and cold focaccia(that they shouldn’t even call it that) 3) ravioli’s filling were crabs that are not fresh. Very unsatisfactory sauce too 4) ossobuco is very mediocre with over salty rissoto and bad sauce Didn’t appreciate asking multiple times for my balsamic vinegar that the waitress seemed to have forgotten. Had better in a random Italian stand in Italy.

I recently dined at Margot and had a wonderful experience. The space was cozy and inviting, perfect for a special occasion. The staff were exceptionally welcoming and attentive. I had mentioned when making the reservation that it was a special occasion, and they went above and beyond to make it memorable. We were pleasantly surprised to receive a beautiful card as a thoughtful gesture. The food was good and the attention to detail made the evening truly special. We left feeling grateful and impressed.

Amazing good and Italian pastas, the cocktails are amazing too if you try them get their signature cocktails. Great service from the team too

Why have I never been here before??? In some respects this Covent Garden institution is a mish mash of contrasts. Classy yet unpretentious. Simple menu yet such complexity of flavour. And a concise yet impeccable wine list. Big shout out to Anastasia too. She was our hostess dare I say our headmistress. Kept us punctual informed and heading utterly in the right direction. This place has it all. Service, ambiance, style and most importantly delicious food. And pretty much the best San Danielle ham I’ve had outside of Milano. A must try!! It’s not cheap but worth every penny. I was so impressed I booked a work dinner for 10 as I was leaving.

We had a delightful evening meal at Margot in Covent Garden. I'm glad I'd booked in advance, as it was bustling on a Thursday evening. We shared the focaccia which was absolutely delicious and probably the best I've eaten. I would highly recommend trying it. I had scallops to start, and the crab ravioli for main. My husband had the parmigiana to start, and wild boar ragu for main. Everything was tasty and well presented. We were so full we couldn't manage dessert! The staff were very friendly, but the service was a bit slow - so have knocked a star off. Overall, a great restaurant.

Seafood dishes are too salty for me (esp scallops) but rest are not bad. Mille-feuille is really nice. I feel like waiter/waitress are a bit understaffed as we couldn’t get hold of them often but they are nice people and can deliver results when needed. Overall good experience.

I went there with work colleagues. Service was a bit slow but the food was very tasty. I had the chicken breast which had an interesting foam on top - it looked interesting. We didn’t have time for dessert but I’m sure we’ll be back.

Amazing dinner, perfect service, creamy focaccia that melted in our mouth.

After a tiring afternoon of shopping, we walked in and were lucky enough to get a table. The service is second to none. Attentive and timely; you won’t get rushed out of the door! We walked in at 5.30pm and walked out at 7.45pm, yet only ordered two courses each. The food was delicious especially the chicken with peas and gravy and the side dish of broccoli and almonds!! The dessert menu was more basic than I remembered from two years ago, but the hazelnut mousse and mille feuille were both mouthwatering. It was a thoroughly enjoyable finish to our day out and I’d love to come back soon.

First appearance was good with a warm welcome and courteous staff . Then we moved to the food My panna cotta caprino was a bit rubbery with no flavour. Main course a sea bass filet with mussels in a broth was a major disappointment COLD the mussels were dry and the ‘ Broth’ was more like cold water I couldn’t eat it so send it back. I am not sure if I go back to Margot !!

Excellent quality food and very attentive service.

This is a fine dinning Restaraunt and as you will expect, the food and service is excellent. They serve focassia bread as complementary along with Olive oil. So no need of ordering bread separately. Nice wines - so do have one if you are here. Enough options for vegetarians.

Wow what a find. Incredible Italian food in the most fantastic of restaurants with amazing knowledgeable and well trained staff. We will be back.

For me I liked it for other people less There is no dispute about tastes....

Excellent food, great service, pleasing attention to details. All in our party throughly enjoyed it and would visit again.

Still rock solid - time and time again

Excellent business lunch. The food was exquisite and the service impeccable. I don't think I could have asked for more. The halibut main course was especially delicious. I will definitely be coming back.

Amazing food and drinks. Beautiful atmosphere.

Dined here recently on a trip to London to view several exhibits. The last one we saw was at Someset House and a quick google search of the best restaurants in Covent Garden led me to make a booking at Margot. I'm so glad it did as we had a lovely dinner. The service was excellent, attentive and helpful without being obtrusive. I had the filet with red wine au jus and the meat a wonderful char and the au jus was perfect. My husband had the scallops and boar ragu, both of which he rated highly. The pasta was fresh and the ragu was rich and savory. We didn't have room for dessert but we will try them the next time. Definitely will return and would recommend.

Lovely pre matinee lunch with a friend. Excellent Italian food. I'll be back! Thank you to the lovely staff.

A nice pub very close to Covent Garden with accessible toilets for those who have a key.

I came here for my birthday and enjoyed a wonderful meal. Stunning food and really welcoming and lovely staff. My boyfriend's pasta was a little disappointing but they went above and beyond to rectify this issue so we really can't complain! My Ossobuco was faultless. They also gave us a complimentary dessert for my birthday. We wouldn't hesitate to return. Thank you to everyone at Margot at dinner time on 03/02/2024 for such a lovely time and for being so accommodating.

Stunning food & service in Covent Garden. Beautiful interiors

Disappointed at the food, not fresh, too salty. Everyone seems busy, so no one filled our water until called to do so. Atmosphere is the only qualified part, you could take some photos and pretend you are having some good foods, but your tougue definitely said no.

A fantastic Restaurent with top quality service, good wine options and understanding clients wants for food too. Great environment and shall return for a 3rd trip sometime soon.

Visited this restaurant as part of our lodge's Masonic festive board. Firstly the Food was absolutely excellent and service is great. Would definitely recommend 👌

Really delicious Italian, open early enough for a light meal before the opera. The lobster ravioli with saffron sauce is a revelation. Great wines as well, just ask for a recommendation. Eaten here multiple times… the food is consistently good, although the restaurant is consistently loud for my tastes unless you’re there early. A great choice in Covent Garden.

Came here for a pre-theatre dinner. The decor and ambience is great and the food was lovely. Some of the best focaccia I’ve ever had too. Our waiter Arthur was excellent - really attentive and knew the menu well. Would 100% come back and recommend. Would recommend trying the beef carpaccio.

Visited Saturday I had the best French onion soup I have ever tasted. Wow. Supreme of Pollo. Melt in the mouth. Well worth a visit., Will come back. Thank you for making my visit so memorable.

Our first experience for us. We wanted to try somewhere different for a pre-theatre meal. For us the service was virtually impeccable. We so appreciated not having to wait for our wine and water to be served although we were near the reception area. The food we enjoyed very much and we were impressed by the wine list - great choices.

Excellent service and food. You get your money's worth!

We went for a 50th birthday and everyone loved it. I had the wild boar ragu with fresh papadelli as my main, and it was fantastic. The star of the show was my desert. I had the Coconut mousse with banana and passionfruit puree and it's definitely one of the best puddings I've ever had. I'll go back to sit at the bar and have a few of those next time I'm in the west end.

It has been three years since we last time visit Margot. It was back in 2020 just after the first covid wave and we liked the food a lot. We decide to celebrate new year here again and are glad to be back here. The quality of the food remains the high level. The service is excellent and they are super nice to the baby. The pasta is just delicious and the side vegies are so good. The seafood risotto is slightly salty though. The beef cappacio is good as last time except they removed truffle. The veal slice appetiser is really tender and the sauce is amazing. It is definitely my top Italian restaurant in London.

First time visit with family but certainly won’t be the last.Food and service was exceptional.Desserts were just wow.Multiple waiters looking after you which was fab

Beautiful place. The cocktails are great.

Nice food, average service that is slow and not that personable. Patrons treated in a transactional way

Was here for a business event (basement space). The restaurant is traditional in its focus with a good wine list and tasty food. Its staff and service are excellent and a good place to take a date (or partner). The atmosphere is intimate and food not too heavy.

Beautiful dining experience overall! Exceptional service from start to finish. Special thanks go to Anastasia who looked after us impeccably the whole night, making our experience a memorable one. The food is really nice- gorgeous starters which I highly recommend and the spaghetti lobster with a touch of chilli oil-was sooo delicious. Gluten free spaghetti, bread sticks & bread were the bonus of the evening and very much appreciated. A great selection of wines, tasty cocktails and delicious desserts to finish a great night in style.

It was my first visit to Margot and absolutely loved it. Service was exceptional, they couldn’t have done any more. Food was very good, my friend’s ravioli was slightly undercooked but full of flavours nonetheless, and my halibut was delicious. Desserts were amazing. We will definitely come back soon.

Exceptional food and an excellent menu which I would have happily ordered almost everything from. The scallops to start were beautiful - cooked to perfection. For mains I really enjoyed the halibut though expected more vegetables to come with it. Side of potatoes made up for it - enormous portion! Tiramisu to finish had me leaving with a smile on my face. It’s an elegant, contemporary dining room and the service is professional. All of this comes with q high price tag, but it’s an upmarket place that pitches at this level. Set course menu (with 3 good choices for each course which is rare) was good value.

What a pretentious over priced pasta joint. I am a vegan. Yes ok get over it. But never have I been made to feel so awkward for asking for a vegan dish. Not one dish is vegan. I wasn’t expecting a seperate menu but at least an option. It’s a pasta joint- surely you have something thing without cheese or meat. The waitress was snooty and dismissive and offered me dried gluten free pasta and some carrots. Literally this place is all that is wrong with central London eateries. So many better Italian places in town for both non vegans and vegans!

A solid 4 stars for Margot. Celebrated our anniversary here and we had a great spot at the restaurant. We were tempted by more food looking at menu but our brilliant waitress advised us that we had ordered enough….and it was just perfect. Food overall was great and I recommend the pistachio dessert. Genuinely sublime. Star knocked off for not having soap in the toilet replenished.

Amazing service, friendly approacable staff, and a very well thought out menu, the food was as expected perfect and served quickly and hot. Can't fault the place or the staff and service. A must go!

Beautiful evening meal, highly recommended.

We didn't reserve a table just walked in at lunch time and the service was amazing from that moment. Our food was delicious and that was recommended was perfect. Will definitely be going back.

Authentic Italian quality food, served by an abundant amount of very attentive staff. We particularly like the decoration and attention to detail. The home-made gelato is to die for...

A fantastic post concert supper here at Margot. We sat opposite the pass and enjoyed a superb meal, impeccable service and buzzy ambience. We will return soon.

Tout était parfait! Plats délicieux ! Personnel très gentil! Foccacia et parmigiana juste dingues!!! Le meilleur tiramisu!!!

It's very pretty, the service is exceptional, the food is very good, and it's pretty expensive. We were a party of 8 saying a fond farewell to a great boss, who is heading back to his native Paris. You start with amazing focaccia and top class olive oil; we were very hungry, ordered more, and they obliged. We had a range of starters including scallops, and beef carpaccio, all very good. Main courses were fillet of beef, ossabuco, schnitzel. Not sure anyone had pasta so can't report on its quality. Food was very good, wine delicious, but obviously the decor, the quality, and great drinks cost a bit. Mind you we did tuck into the wine...

10/10 Wonderful experience. Welcoming, warm service. Food was delicious - the chicken, courgetti, aubergine parmigiana and duck ragu were all absolutely excellent. Top ups of fresh focaccia very welcome. Fabulous service from Elisa - made me feel very special on my birthday with a card and a Happy Birthday message with dessert. Thank you!

My wife and I had a delightful dinner here before attending the theater. The service was wonderful and the food came out quickly, hot, and delicious. I had the TAGLIATELLE CON RAGÚ D’ANTARA which was a hearty dish while my wife enjoyed the RAVIOLI AL GRANCHIO E ZAFFERANO which was very ample and tasty. Their wine list was extensive and very fairly priced. Our two entrees with a carafe of wine came to $150.30 including gratuity.

Charged an extra fee to serve the food which is always included in over all bill. Wont be back.

A delightful pre-theatre lunch. The staff are friendly and professional and the food was beautifully presented and delicious. A place we will return to.

The whole restaurant gives an air of swank: Italian ceramic floor tiles, warm amber glow, shiny fixtures and green leather booths filled with what looked like local bankers in their Eton shirts & Tom Ford Black parfums. Despite the plush, the three of us just craved for one thing: as Keanu Reeves says in the Matrix….we need pasta…..lots of pasta! (modified) I had a delicious Tagliatelle with duck ragu and the wife went for fluffy Crab ravioli with a smokey and vibrant mascarpone sauce, and my nephew went for penne with seasonal mushrooms (odd choice as I could make this at home). All 3 pastas were delicious…. Ofcourse one cant have pasta in an Italian restaurant without a glass of red. Along comes the sommelier extraordinare, Dylan Maiorano, with his well fitted dark gray suit and hair that looked like he just woke up…..he gave me an encyclopaedia of a wine list and then proceeded to take me on a tour of Italy expertly detailing the terroirs from the Valtellina of Lombardia to the Cabernet francs of Vento until I politely interrupted him to order a Chianti Riserva…..he took it better than French sommeliers would when they recommend you Burgundy Grand Cru and you order a Beaujolais. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed Margot even if the prices for pastas averaged GBP 30 and bankers next table grew louder as the night progressed…..

We celebrated my fiancée’s birthday at Margots and everything was simply perfect from delicious food to amazing service. The first time in my life I was offered to order enough food , but not necessarily the most expensive on the menu when we asked a suggestion , including the wine from the in house sommelier. We felt valued and very good taken care of and our night was made so special with their birthday presents together with a card as we were leaving. Definitely we will be back again. Food was simply delicious and decent portions too. Thank you Anastasia for your amazing service (I hope I got your name right!) we were delighted with our experience tonight.

This is our absolute favourite restaurant in london. Although it’s high class, the staff always make you feel welcome and comfortable. The food is impeccable and the staff are the best we have ever experienced. I have never written a review but this is a place I will recommend to everyone who comes to london. We had a waiter tonight who had glasses and his name started with an A - cannot quite remember but he was the best waiter we have ever had. Thank you for a wonderful engagement meal.

Lovely evening and great service. Food didn't live up to expectations. Ossobuco and Chicken Supreme both dry. Expected more from food for price range.

Randomly walked past this restaurant on our way to the theatre they actually didn’t have tables but we sat at the bar and let me tell you this meal was fantastic. Some of the best Italian had while on our trip in Europe. I watched the kitchen and that staff was a well oiled machine and the Chef was playing dishes like it was on a tv show. Amazing hand made pasta. We all shared a little of what each of us had because it was so good we wanted to taste more. The waitstaff was on it like maybe the best service I have ever had in London. Put this place on your list but definitely call for a reservation it fill up fast.

Amazing food and service! Well worth the visit!

The mozzarella bufala was absolutely fantastic, with a creamy texture that melted in my mouth. The steak was cooked to perfection, tender and full of flavor. Overall, a top-notch dining experience that I highly recommend!

fine dining, classic Italian cuisine, and amazing service with care an attention for detail. not ending on a tiramisu is a passo falso 😉

Great restaurant, good service but don't like when the servers keep pouring more wine to get you to buy another bottle, like to drink and pour at my own pace. Food is very good.

Great service. Nice wine. Disappointing food. Not value for money.

Average food - decent pre theatre menu. nice ambience if sitting at bar

We had dinner for two and it was delicious. The staff created a very delightful atmosphere for dining

Excellent service and lovely food

Great food. Somewhat best italian food I have tasted in london this time. Service was good but somehow faded at closing ...

Pasta here is one of the best I had. The steak was underwhelming though, so make sure to order pasta and the appetizers.

Too expensive and overpriced. The food was mediocre and was not worth what we paid. The service is excellent but I wouldn't go back

What a treat! On only our second visit, we were made to feel like VIP clients; pampered, spoilt and special. Exemplary service. Engaging, professional, cosmopolitan and intelligent team. Beautiful presentation, gorgeous food, and an understated, elegant ambience.

Great service and quality food. Came here for the work dinner on a table of 8. I had the beef carpaccio, which was delicious (would recommend). Followed by the monkfish, which was very tasty but I wish I had ordered a side of carb! Note to next time! Service was really great all night and was super smooth. I would come back for sure. Recommended!!

Good food, good service, good wines and cocktails. Prices a little eye-watering but not unusually so for a decent West End place like this
