We have just had the most magnificently tasty Sunday lunch at Margaret. We didn't leave a mouthful of any of the three courses. It took a leisurely two hours which we thought was perfect timing, not rushed but we were not waiting around either. Everything was absolutely delicious. When we are in Sydney from London we now try to eat at Margaret. Previously we have eaten at Rockpool and the grill. Margaret is bright and breezy by comparison. The staff are friendly and efficient. They want to talk about the food and are very helpful with making choices from the extensive menu. The food is outstanding. For us the portions were perfect with wonderful imaginative complex flavours. We went fifty/fifty on the duck breast and grilled ocean trout and both were fantastic. We even had room for a dessert. Out of curiosity I chose the souffle pudding. I would never have thought of putting pine nuts in a dessert but it gave a great contrasting texture. The souffle was really more than I needed but I sacrificed myself and finished it. One staff member confided that although they worked there it was their favourite place to eat. We agree.

We specifically went to this steakhouse because of a recommendation from our tour guide. We made a last minute online reservation and also called ahead. They graciously set aside one of their last kangaroo fillets. When we arrived the host immediately recognized us and seated us at our table. The meal was wonderful! For starter we had the bread and olives tray, along with a glass of wine. The kangaroo was cooked perfectly, tender and delicious. It was accompanied by our sides that we ordered of frites and roasted carrots. The kangaroo fillet was a 200 gram (7 ounce) cut and we shared our entree and had plenty to eat. Highly recommend this restaurant!
