Margot

Younger sister of the much-loved LeftField (around the corner), Margot is a relaxed café by day, refined wine bar by night. That means coffee and croque Margot in the morning, with 23 wines by the glass (mostly organic and from small producers) and a menu of ten small plates as evening beckons. Sustainable Scottish seafood is a specialty: think Cumbrae oysters, langoustine or smoked trout whipped with organic crème fraîche and dill. Vegetable dishes are equally complex and a generous bowl of tangy St Andrews cheddar with home-pickled onions is a perfect cheese course: no fuss, just flavour. Wines are accessible yet surprising and the team’s enthusiasm is infectious, leading to brilliant pairing recommendations and a relaxed evening of food and wine.
