Margot Bar & Bistro South Beach - Review - South Beach - Miami - The Infatuation
"Unlike their Downtown location, which is more of a bar, Margot’s South Beach spot is a restaurant. They have a full menu, albeit slightly all over the place, with dishes like a cheeseburger, falafel, and chicken parm. Chaotic, but tasty. Even though this space is larger than their sister restaurant (with an outdoor patio too), they still have the same pink tableware, pink walls, and purplish lighting. It screams disco, but there’s less groovy dancing and more lounging while sipping natural wine. So it’s ideal for a night when you want to do something fun, but not so fun that you’re left with a pounding headache the next morning. Food Rundown photo credit: Margot Bar & Bistro Hamachi Crudo We would like to buy several jars of the coconut aji amarillo sauce the hamachi crudo lays on. Sadly, that’s not an option, so just order this to start. photo credit: Margot Bar & Bistro Mushrooms & Tahini This fluffy tahini dip is outstanding. But the herb butter toasted sourdough it should come with (for free) is an extra $3. photo credit: Margot Bar & Bistro Hand Cut Steak Tartare At first glance, it looks like the circular tartare you’d get at a bistro in Paris. But what’s missing are the sharp flavors from the mustard and Worcestershire. Skip this. photo credit: Margot Bar & Bistro 'Nduja Spicy Rigatoni You should always be skeptical when a rigatoni claims to be spicy. This one, like 97% of the versions in Miami, isn’t spicy. Thankfully it’s still pretty good. photo credit: Margot Bar & Bistro Butterflied Branzino The branzino is made with a chunky hearts of palm salsa verde that should be mopped up with any bread you ordered for the aforementioned tahini." - Mariana Trabanino
