What People Are Saying
from Google"Très magnifique Margot’s!!! You did a fantastic job on dinner. My wife went a couple weeks ago and said I needed to go because it was so good. She was right. The focaccia bread and oil was stellar. The salad and salmon dip was awesome. We had great drinks. Our mains were swordfish and gnocchicietta. They were both top notch. Finally we finished with the dark chocolate cake and ice cream. This was truly a fantastic place and will be missed when it closes this summer."
"The moment you walk in the door you're greeted warmly by every person on staff that passes by. The people here are lovely and make you feel right at home, but not only that-they pay close attention and are attentive to each table. Excellent service We came for Wednesday brunch, and watched fresh vegetables get delivered right there by local farmers. Started with a celery root soup that tastes like it came from Europe-not the kind of low effort soups you find in most American restaurants. Also with an apple and Brie tartine. The apples were fresh, the Brie was delicious, and the honey was amazing. The tartine I think was sourdough, and probably made in house. We paired this with the blackberry sage fresh brewed tea, and our glasses stayed full. The main entrees were a broccoli and feta omelette that absolutely went way better than I thought it would, and a curry shrimp with basmati rice. I fully believed the broccolini would be underwhelming and chewy like at most restaurants, and that the eggs would be overdone, but I was pleasantly surprised to find fluffy eggs, crunchy broccolini, and a plethora of cheese flavor. It was delicious! The curry shrimp was a worry for me because of a cilantro allergy, but it turned out not to have any and they even let me sample a tiny bit of sauce to see if it did beforehand also delicious! Wound up actually splitting both of these and eating some of the omelette with the watercress sauce and curry. The French fries were also very good. It was like a combination of five guys fries and McDonald's in that they were thin, addictive, not too greasy, but also had a fresh potato taste to them. Finally came the cranberry apple bread pudding, which came as a slice from a loaf. This pudding was sweet and tart, and if you can't tell normally what the difference between fresh and Sysco cherries tastes like, you'll taste it here! Every bite was full of flavor, from the crust to the apples, bread, and the pudding sauce itself. This was a seasonal dish that might change, so if you want to try it, hurry in!"
"Sucks this place is closing. Went there for the 1st time on 11/15 and it was great! Danni was the best damn waitress I've ever had. Her energy was everything & she had the face & smile to match. Should have taken the picture of the menu because I don't remember the entrees, salad, bread or dessert names. So we had a salad, steak x2 (can't remember exact name) & pan roasted chicken. The food was flavorful & filling. Everything was good, no complaints. We also had the coconut ice cream & a cake. This review isn't the best but the food & desserts were great. It was 4 of us trying everything that each one of us ordered, if that tells you anything."
"Margot Café & Bar anchors Five Points like a quiet pulse, steady and sure. The rooms glow with low light and an easy, familiar warmth. It feels like slipping into a story already in motion. Nothing is rushed here. Nothing feels put on. It is a space shaped by years of care, by regulars who know their favorite tables, by newcomers who realize in the first few minutes that they’ve found something special. The food follows the same rhythm. The menu shifts every day, always tied to the seasons and rooted in the best local ingredients. Plates come out with that rare mix of comfort and craft. Flavors fold together in ways that feel unforced, guided by a kitchen that understands subtlety as well as indulgence.There is no flash for the sake of flash. There is technique, balance, and a kind of quiet brilliance that shows up bite after bite. We bring clients here for lunch or dinner when we want them to understand the real heartbeat of East Nashville. We keep it in rotation for our own date nights because it delivers something intimate and steady every single time. And when friends roll into town, this is the table we reserve to show them the Nashville that locals brag about. Plenty of restaurants chase attention in this city. Margot never has. It doesn’t need to. The hospitality is steady, the atmosphere is warm, and the food is consistently some of the best Nashville has to offer. An evening here feels like a gift you didn’t know you needed. If this isn’t the best restaurant in Nashville, it belongs on the smallest, most serious shortlist imaginable."
"A great restaurant with fantastic service and people who are passionate about the food they serve. We went in the end of June during peach season so highly recommend everything peach related, especially the peach terrine (sweet and melted in our mouth). The crepe with rabbit was great but strong from someone who never had rabbit before. The steak sandwich was ok but the fries were amazing. The chocolate pistachio mousse cake was fantastic but huge, but enough for 3 people. Highly recommend Margot for brunch!"
