Margaret is a neighbourhood restaurant at its core, but it’s also evolved into something more than that.

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. The menu at Margaret is diverse and inspired by all the flavours that Neil has been collecting over his 45+ years in the industry. Margaret

The food, ambience and service has always been terrific at Song Bird. The menu has recently changed to include a more diverse range of Asian dishes besides the original Cantonese focus. It is a varied and interesting offering. We ate lunch today and the Peking Duck and Coral Trout was the best I have ever enjoyed. I am a student of excellence in Asian cuisine and this was the TRULY EXCEPTIONAL. The other Perry characteristic specialties of service, wine list, ambience etc. match the very fine food offering.
