Wine and oysters are the focus at Margot’s, but this sleek Northbridge haunt delivers beyond the promise with sharp cocktails and small plates.
The rising price of oysters can be a pain point for those who remember the days of less than $2 per shuck. But time it right at Margot’s (late afternoons; Wednesday to Saturday) and you’ll be dipping into some of Perth’s most affordable Albany or Sydney rocks at $1.50 each. Oysters not your thing? There’s plenty more on offer from this small but sleek wine bar on the William Street strip. From its lengthy bar flanked by plush, spacious booths comes tidy cocktails and novel house specialties with a martini focus – classic, pornstar and otherwise. On the wine list, there’s a throng of Australian drops that diverge here and there with international wines of note and a tight selection of Champagne for those with the will to spend. Pair with snacks like beef tartare amped up with bitey pecorino, capers and savoury anchovy extract, plates of house-made charcuterie, and a must-try toasted milk bun with mortadella, hot honey and stracciatella.
