Of course, we can serve as much soy sauce as the diner desires; however, what we want to emphasise is the taste of the fish. Therefore, each piece of sushi that we serve is brushed with the right amount of soy sauce and topped with an accompaniment that harmonises with the flavour of the fish.

    My guests and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal at Margaux. The menu was diverse enough to cater to light eaters as well as those who wanted heartier fare. The drinks menu also called for Mon alcoholic selections, a good selection of wine and cider, so everyone was accommodated. The service was spot on, there when you needed them but not overly attentive to the point of interrupting conversation. The ambience was buzzy but quiet enough to speak and be heard. We will return!

    Dining here was spectacular! We had read other great reviews about the food and service and decided to give it a try. Our waiter, Ruhel was kind and attentive. He offered thoughtful suggestions of the menu, including the avocado and mango salad, Chettinad Pepper Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, and the garlic naan. The atmosphere, food and service were truly top notch. We will absolutely be back on our next trip to London!
