Welcome to Your Coffee & Wine Haven

Welcome to our small espresso and wine bar on Lake Burley Griffin, Margot is all about local flavour and relaxed charm. Stop by, sip something good, and enjoy Canberra at its best.

West Kiosk, Queen Elizabeth Terrace

Margot is a small wine and espresso bar that showcases the very best of Canberra with a distinctly cosmopolitan euro flavour, in an iconic setting right by the lake.

Anytime you stop by Margot you’ll relax into the experience - be it for quality espresso in the AM or hand picked wines, cocktails, curated cheeses and pizza in the PM.

Our vision is to create a welcoming and relaxing space where you can unwind with a satisfying drink.

We keep most of our tables free for walk ins, but allow some tables to be booked for groups over 4 for our PM service.
