On Monday 10th October, Paulo de Tarso and Nicolas Jaouën will open the doors to Italian restaurant, Margot. Opening in Covent Garden, the restaurant will be a true celebration of seamless service, refined interiors and the authentic food of Italy, alongside an extensive international wine list.
As two seasoned industry professionals, for Paulo and Nicolas Margot will be the coming together of years of experience and insider knowledge of successful restaurants. With their signature service style the fundamental element of the restaurant’s concept, Margot will make guests feel relaxed and welcome, with a team trained by the restaurateurs on hand to ensure each and every dining experience will be exceptional. Designed by Fabled Studio, the interiors of the 104 cover restaurant will create an inviting, comfortable and refined environment. Inspired by the architecture and design of Italian greats Giò Ponti and Carlo Mollino, Margot will feature an elegant yet contemporary palette of deep blues, pale marble and copper accents throughout. Set across two floors, upstairs the dining space will be flooded with natural light from the vast, original windows, while downstairs will offer guests a cosy escape from the bustle of Covent Garden’s Great Queen Street. The setting throughout provides a versatile backdrop and the perfect location for a relaxed lunch or atmospheric dinner, or to enjoy charcuterie and wine in the early evening, an aperitivo before a meal or late night digestivo.
Calling upon a rich childhood immersed in Italian cooking, the classically trained Executive Chef Maurizio Morelli will bring diners an authentic taste of Italy’s various gastronomic regions, with delicate, yet flavourful plates executed with the chef’s light touch. The carefully curated selection of dishes span expertly sourced cured meats, carpaccio and tartare dishes, salads, homemade pasta and a range of meat and fish main courses. Reflecting the restaurant’s service-led ethos, many dishes will be available in two portion sizes to allow for a flexible dining experience. Stand out options from the autumn menu will range from fresh seafood dishes such as scallop carpaccio with lime, fresh broad beans and red chili sauce and tagliolini with Sicilian red prawns to hearty and flavourful meat dishes including veal ossobuco with saffron risotto “alla Milanese” with veal jus. To complete their meal, guests can choose from a selection of celebrated Italian desserts, ranging from a decadent tiramisu with chocolate heart and Modica chocolate crumble to flattened Sicilian cannolo, ricotta cream and pistachio ice cream.
The culmination of months of hard work and passion, Margot is set to bring impeccable service, beautiful interiors and great Italian food to London this autumn.
