Vermont's largest and perhaps most cosmopolitan city, Burlington beckons with the perfect blend of old New England charm, arts, culture and nature.

Once again, a wonderful experience - superb, classic French preparations, excellent waitstaff, timely but not rushed service, and a delightful chef/owner. The chef can make the best sauces for his entrees. The steak frites are always perfect. The honey citrus sauce for the duck magret was to die for. I saw several servings of scallops come out - I will definitely try that next time. His desserts take advantage of the fresh fruits of the seasons. In spring, I had the rhubarb tart - the best ever. Last night, the blueberry tart rivaled it. Burlington is so lucky to have Bistro de Margot.Thank you very much for your great review! We just replace the duck breast by a duck leg confit, served with sautéed fingerling potatoes in duck fat, finished with a hint of garlic and chopped parsley.Thank you for your loyalty and we hope to see you soon!

Overall the food we had for breakfast was average. Everything was good quality, but just ordinary in taste. I guess with all the rave reviews, we were expecting more. However, the staff was fantastic. Everyone from the waitress, to the hostess, to the bus girl :-)

Great place to grab a scotch. Cozy place, a bit on the pricey side but many rare pours that are hard to find. Nice place to go after dinner or to pass the time. Limited food menu - pub items but good.
