Harden's survey result
Summary
“Margaux is a superstar”, “long may she shine on us” – chorus fans of Margaux Aubry’s “cramped” Brixton wine-bar with an “exceptional list” of organic wines: “she’s a force of nature and a wonderful addition to the capital”. Since the departure of co-founder Joe Sharratt, dinner is provided by a roster of visiting chefs which changes every month; earlier in the day, “a proper Jambon Beurre will restore you”. Top Tip – natural wine sceptics note: Margaux says ‘I like my wines clean’, and marks anything ‘funky’ on the list with an asterisk.
Summary
Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, Margaux Aubry’s “exceptional” Brixton wine bar always “does a great job in making you feel welcome” in a “tiny space”. Co-founder Joe Sharratt is no longer involved, so Margaux’s “great wine list” is now accompanied by cooking from a succession of guest chefs – which means “the only complaint, that the menu rarely changes”, no longer holds, so now it can be more of a “regular haunt”.
Summary
“As brilliant as ever” – Joe Sharratt and Margaux Aubry’s “unassuming space” in Brixton is “everything you’d want from a local and more” – making it stand out on the South London gastronomic scene. The “laid-back vibe belies a serious approach to food and wine”, resulting in French-inspired “plates of pure pleasure” – “so much better than the fancy fly-by-night trendy places that are all queues, instagram and foam”. Top Menu Tip – “they serve the BEST butter you will ever taste”.
Summary
Joe Sharratt and Margaux Aubry’s informal French-inspired Brixton venue is a true leader of South London gastronomy, serving small sharing plates of “the best grub” and “most exciting wines” south of the river. “Margaux is a treasure – a Lyon-hearted wonder” who provides guests with expert guidance through the menu and excellent wine list. Foodie composer/impresario Andrew Lloyd Webber was such a fan that he invited the team to launch a spin-off at his ‘The Other Place Theatre’ in Victoria.
For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
