Margot, the Italian eatery perched on an unassuming corner in Covent Garden, is one of those restaurants whose impetus is on the whole dining experience, and the food, well of course the food is good, but the service and wine list really steal the show.
The dining area is set across two floors, one of which is adjacent to an open kitchen, leaving the pasta preparation process on display to the diners. Thanks to Fabled studio, the interior has clearly been designed with sophistication and elegance in mind; dark leather upholstery and a blue colour palette spanning the various furnishings do well to reproduce an authentic mid-20th century Italian atmosphere, inspired by the likes of Gio Ponti.
Most of all though, the restaurant has been lauded for its eccentric waiting team, energetic and tuxedo-clad every day of the week; not surprisingly, Margot was chosen by Tatler as the UK’s restaurant with the Best Front of House in 2018. The wine list is also extensive, featuring over 350 wines. Here lies the only inconvenience of an evening at Margot: choosing from such a wide range of wines selected from an equally large range of wine producing countries. If you’re in it for the wine, Margot should be high on your list of places to dine, featuring vintages as renowned as Giacomo Conterno’s 2008 Barolo Riserva ‘Monfortino’.
Wine and service aside, the ambience there makes for a convivial experience that will be well worth your time.
