House of Margot

House of Margot occupies a middle ground between casual and considered. The menu leans European with Armenian anchors: herb-roasted bone marrow, dolma, tatar boraki, Armenian pork chop sit alongside wild mushroom lasagna, spaghetti alla Carbonara, and seafood tagliatelle. Flatbreads are the quiet hero (rosemary-parmesan, fennel-feta, Roquefort-honey at 2900֏). Breakfast runs ambitious—English morning, Armenian morning, Margot's benedict—appealing to both expats and locals who treat brunch seriously. Soups (creamy pumpkin, red lentil) and salads (shrimp-avocado, Caesar with schnitzel) fill the middle. Mains are portioned to share or solo; trout fillet and poussin Marseille justify the 5500֏ ceiling. Desserts include baklava with yogurt gelato and New York cheesecake. Wine list is Armenian-forward (Takar, Karas, Koor) with accessible pours. Coffee and tea competent. Average check ~6500֏ covers a starter, main, and drink comfortably.

Things to note: No dedicated vegetarian mains beyond cauliflower steak and eggplant salad. Service can lag during peak hours. Limited outdoor seating.
