Modern European Brasserie Margo unveils a new Autumn menu and a new Chef’s table dining experience

MARGO sets an intimate dining scene with elegance, finesse and the restaurant tells a vibrant story of modern European cuisine with eccentricity, flamboyance, and style.

With a change in season, Margo presents a new lunch and dinner menu inspired by the regional cuisine of Europe – famous for its rich, hearty fare and home to some of the world’s most coveted ingredients such as white truffles and porcini mushrooms – MARGO brings a unique taste of the autumn harvest to Hong Kong.

New dishes by Chef Mario include Fukuoka Snow Crab Cocktail (HK$148), a modified version of the ‘90’s style prawn cocktail, served with green asparagus and seaweed brioche with a cocktail sauce of ketchup, mayonnaise and horseradish cream; Celeriac with Boudin Noir & Ercolini Pear (HK$228), an homage to a traditional German countryside dish called Himmel und Erde (Heaven and Earth) featuring whole-roasted celeriac that is sliced, pan-fried and used as a base for Boudin Noir (French-style blood sausage).

Hokkaido Scallops with Pumpkin (HK$258) using juicy scallops from Hokkaido topped with pumpkin salad, pumpkin puree, and roasted pumpkin seeds; Wiener Schnitzel with Potato Salad, Champignon-Foie Gras Duxelle & Cucumber Salad, an elevated twist on the traditional German-Austrian veal schnitzel made instead with a highly tender and extra-decadent sirloin.

Grilled Pike Perch (HK$378) served as a roulette with pan-fried pike perch with barley and bacon wrapped with seasonal savoy cabbage leaves, and buttermilk sauce infused with fish head and bones; and finally, Puntalette with Black Trumpet Mushroom & Balsamic-Glazed Radicchio (HK$328), a homemade rice pasta cooked like a risotto and infused with mushroom tea for a powerful umami flavour, served with roasted corn, walnuts, and shavings of raw button mushrooms.
