Description

As a sister restaurant to Ox and Finch and Ka Pao, you can probably guess what you’re getting with Margo: a bustling, efficiently run restaurant that’s deservedly popular thanks to its great buzz and flavour-packed, generously priced dishes. It’s a cavernous place spread over two floors, with a semi-industrial feel and its lively atmosphere enhanced by the open kitchen. The sharing plates are a satisfying synthesis of Mediterranean cooking and Scottish produce, borne out in dishes like red prawn agnolotti and ham hough croquettes. Below, you’ll find Sebb’s – a cocktail bar with wood-fired gril

Review summary

Located in Glasgow's East End, Margo offers Mediterranean cuisine centered on a small-plate sharing concept. Reviews frequently praise the high quality of fresh ingredients, unique flavors, and attentive, knowledgeable service, with the stainless steel bar providing an engaging dining atmosphere. However, criticisms highlight inconsistent meal pacing, occasionally bland or under-seasoned dishes, and a rigid two-hour time limit that some find unacceptable. While many appreciate the flexibility of the shared plates, others report confusion in ordering and unexpected costs, leading to mixed views on value. The restaurant is generally lively, though service speed and portion sizes vary significantly between visits.

Best for

Suitable for diners seeking novel Mediterranean small plates and interactive service who can accommodate strict time limits.
