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.

Teddy was fabulous! Service, food, decor & ambience all on point. We were a group & got a room to ourselves which made it even better. Finally, the service is some of the best I've had in Sydney.
