Elegant Modern French spot with standout octopus, duck, and truffle gnocchi, attentive service, and a serious wine list—excellent overall but pricing and mandatory service charge surprise some guests.
Margaux delivers exceptional food quality anchored by standout octopus, duck, and truffle gnocchi, with strong service attentiveness and knowledgeable wine guidance that elevate the experience. Tight table spacing and occasional consistency lapses in execution prevent grade A territory, while pricing—though justified by quality ingredients—creates value friction for some diners. A reliable choice for refined Modern French dining in an intimate South Kensington setting.
One caveat: Mandatory service charge (around 13.5%) surprises some guests
