Margoux’s contemporary dining room, lined with minimalist wallpaper and vibrant red and green chairs, builds a cool contemporary ambiance. Billed as a restaurant with ‘first class taste’, Margoux seeks to bring a relaxed yet stylish sense of dining to Exeter.
The menu, whilst small, works on British classics bringing a modern twist in its presentation, with additions like chargrilled broccoli and spring onions that make the classic fish fit the demands of the 21st century diner; along with British staples such as fillet steak and lamb rum. Squash ravioli with roasted courgette is also available, ideal for plant-based diners.
Margoux also offers a Sunday Roast, which involves the traditional ‘Margoux Roasts’ that include chicken, beef and pork along with the traditional trimmings of potatoes (an unlimited amount on request) as well as vegetables like cauliflower cheese and honey thyme roasted carrots.
Desserts at Margoux are a range of both luxurious and more modest offerings, with indulgent chocolate terrine topped with cherries and creme fraiche as well as the citrusy lemon, lime leaf and basil posset. At Margoux, there is an emphasis on desserts that cater to everyone with both dishes for those who desire something lavish and powerful as well as lighter puddings.
The wine list at Margoux is abundant, with a wide range of dry red and crisp white wines described in intrinsic detail, making Margoux an ideal choice for understanding the complexity of the notes and flavours of wine. Additionally, Margoux has a range of signature cocktails such as Mojitos and Margaritas as well as a few Margoux original recipes such as The Margoux Way which consists of Grey Goose, Patron X and Espresso.
