"My preference is for some of the terrific ethnic restaurants and the generation of young chefs who are doing exciting things in less touristy parts of the city. However, there are times when I crave a good brasserie like Margaux, serving traditional French dishes, where you know your favourites will be on the menu, where the welcome is warm, the atmosphere convivial, and the food reliable."
"Margaux can be described in French as brasserie chic'. It is an elegant establishment on Avenue de New York in the upmarket and fashionable 16th arrondissement. The address alone is chic, and its location along the Seine adds to the cachet. It overlooks the Eiffel Tower, no less, which is illuminated at night and, after 9 pm in summer, twinkles on the hour."
"At 8 pm on a rainy night in late August, when many of the Parisian restaurants were shuttered for the holidays, it was a delight to arrive at the welcoming doors of Margaux after a long walk. There is a gorgeous private dining room with a wall of wines, which was buzzing with a large group. We were ushered into a long, wood-panelled room with a wall of windows over the street, dressed with cafe curtains."
Margaux is a 'brasserie chic' on Avenue de New York in the 16th arrondissement, located along the Seine with views of the Eiffel Tower. The menu focuses on traditional French dishes and familiar favourites, delivered with a warm welcome, convivial atmosphere, and reliable cooking. The restaurant contains a gorgeous private dining room with a wall of wines and a long, wood-panelled dining room with windows dressed with cafe curtains and small round tables. The clientele was mostly French-speaking, indicating local patronage rather than a purely tourist crowd. Margaux is convenient for museum visits and the Eiffel Tower and remained open on a rainy late-August evening.
