Dear Margaret offers a unique and delicious dining experience with a focus on seasonal ingredients and classic French cooking. The service is exceptional, warm, and attentive, with staff providing good advice on the impressive wine list, including two non-alcoholic wines that were both delicious. The warm hospitality has earned the restaurant the 2025 Banchet Award. Standout dishes include the duck pâté, known for its insane tenderness, and the spectacular charcuterie, where the fresh bread is a highlight. Guests appreciate the unique flavors in dishes like crispy polenta, oven-roasted halibut, and gizzards, alongside the mind-blowing fries and the bigger-than-expected nanaimo bar. The atmosphere is cozy and quaint, making it a perfect spot for memorable meals and special occasions. The small space can be navigated with care, and the thoughtful approach of Chef Brosseau is evident in every dish. Dear Margaret is a must-visit for anyone seeking creative and comforting food in a casual setting, and it has quickly become a favorite spot for both locals and visitors.
