Our first time here to celebrate our anniversary and we’ll be back to celebrate a fine meal with great service and a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere anytime and soon! We appreciated Amy’s friendly service and Chef taking the time to chat. The food is unreasonably delicious and beautifully presented. This restaurant ranks as good as some Michelin restaurants we’ve been to throughout Europe and better than some! The prix fixe 3-course at $78 is well worth it. We loved everything! Super stand outs were the steak frites, lobster foie gras creme brûlée, lemon pie in a jar and the peach tart. Looking forward to our next visit!

After a very ok experience the first time , we had a reservation for a very special event and the owner mixed up the reservation and the service at the admitted their mistake but after the chef and owner came to us aggressively and insulting … a very sad moment and insulting guy…. Never ever again for a ok restaurant

We were greeted warmly and seated promptly at this quaint French restaurant. Although small, it was nicely decorated with comfortable spacing for conversation. Our servers Clara and Maddie were very friendly and helpful. We chose the very reasonable price fixe dining option which allowed 3 selections off the standard menu unlike a more limited menu as in most restaurants. We started with the tomato heirloom salad and the smoked scalloped carpaccio. The food was delicious, not too salty and not overpowering either. Chef Hervé personally came to make sure we were happy. There were great seafood options unlike most French cuisine and our halibut was delightful. The housemade sorbet made for an excellent finish with unique flavors of raspberry jalapeño and apricot basil to satisfy the palate. When visiting Burlington, VT Bistro de Margot is a must … bravo!

Excellent French restaurant. Pricey but great food and service for a special night that we thoroughly enjoyed. We had the steak frites and duck - both cooked perfectly. Peach tart and sorbet for dessert.

What an amazing dining experience! The food was delicious, everybody who works at the restaurant were beyond welcoming and kind, the chef came out to meet us during our meal and the restaurant is very kid friendly. I highly suggest visiting Bistro de Margot- you will not be disappointed.

Staff is classy. The food is solid served in a comfortable atmosphere. They deliver exactly what you’d expect, in a good way.
The staff was understanding and friendly. The chef came to check on every table separately.
We felt incredibly welcome and we look forward to coming back! More than kid friendly.

There are few things in this world that I would drive 4 hours for; a meal at Bistro de Margot is now on that list of few things.
Every dish served for my fiancée and I were simply incredible, she has never enjoyed a steak anywhere else, and that speaks volumes to the perfection that was each dish. From the presentation to the quality and taste it has so far been the single most enjoyable dining experience we have had to date.
It was a true delight to meet Chef Hervé at the end of our meal and really speaks volumes to the enthusiasm and effort he brings to the culinary experience he has cultivated here.
We will be back :)

Dinner at Bistro de Margot was a dining experience I will talk about forever. This is fine dining that isn’t stiff or pretentious; it’s excellent cuisine, served with care and love for the craft. Chef Hervé Mahé, you are an artist in what you do. I’m not a ‘picky’ eater, but I recognize what is, and isn’t good. As someone who has never, ever found a restaurant that can prepare and serve a steak to my liking, I was nearly brought to tears by the excellent Steak Frites that were prepared for me tonight. Tender, juicy, magnificent. My fiancé and I recommend doing the three course dinner. While it may seem like a large meal, every course was perfectly proportioned and sat light, with attention to flavor balancing and beautiful presentation. Thank you to our wondering waitress, Anna, and the rest of the excellent staff running this bistro, we had an excellent evening!

An excellent fine dining experience. We visited fairly early on a Tuesday so the restaurant was relatively empty but the atmosphere was well curated and the few staff on hand were immediately friendly and engaged. The chef brought out the main courses and made himself readily available for questions about the meal, while the service staff were very knowledgeable about the Wine and menu.
Overall I’m sure the experience would be ideal on a weekend evening, but they have honed their menu to very high degree, and the staff is passionate and capable. A worthy repeat experience.
What a fantastic place. Food was amazing atmosphere perfect for a meal when u want to chat and catch up and the service is outstanding. Highly recommend

What an unbelievably amazing dining experience! I enjoyed the prix fixe menu and added on the foie gras - made in the most scrumptious crème brûlée style! With bits of lobster and layers of flavor it was all I could do not to lick the plate clean. The salad is not just a salad but fresh Bibb lettuce, quail egg and perfectly delicate Dijon dressing. The Artic char was cooked perfectly with crispy skin, creamy tomato mashed potatoes and lobster cream sauce. The recommended pairing of the Bourgogne Chardonnay was spot on. Enjoyed Espresso with the Mousse au Chocolate with a hint of citrus for a delectable finish.
I felt welcomed the moment I walked in the door and Chef Mahé was so kind to stop by the table and chat about the dishes. I highly recommend and can’t wait to be back with friends.

The food here was phenomenal, every dish paired with a perfect side and garnish and delivered with a personal touch. The dining area wasn't too crowded and quiet enough to enjoy a pleasant conversation over a bottle of wine. I felt like there was some room for some additional decor, however the large street-side window and centerpiece worked well with the dining atmosphere.
The meats were tender and cooked to the exact specifications desired, and the flavors stacked on top of each other with grace. The wine service the waitstaff provided was professional and served to enhance our meal. We were paid enough service to never need to wait for a refill or to have our dishes cleared. Time between each course was extraordinary, and it never felt like we were being pestered or overwhelmed. It seems our shellfish allergy was also paid to close mind when we ordered.
As soon as we were seated, I noticed the chef going around and asking every table how they enjoyed their meal. This is an exemplary service that not many restaurants in the Burlington area offer. I was excited to talk after our meal was complete to share our feedback. I was, however, disappointed that this opportunity was missed on us. It seemed the tables next to us provided greater interest, as patrons entered and orders after us and were spoken to before their third course was delivered. As excited as I was to chat with the chef only to be disappointed, I must revoke some service stars, as it weighed on my mind heavily after our meal.

Excellent dinner for our party of four. Great table service and the Chef even made time to meet with diners at several tables including ours to check in on our food and experience. We had reservations so no wait.
