I can't thank the wonderful staff at Café Margaux enough. I booked their private dining space upstairs for an intimate wedding ceremony. The planning, the food, and the atmosphere were all incredible. The service was the highlight, everyone involved was so awesome, they take a lot of pride in what they do, and I think that is a testament to Café Margaux and their dedication to providing a 5-star experience. They made everything seamless and worry-free. They helped make our day so amazing and I highly recommend working with them to book a private dining event. Our guests were blown away by the delicious food, drinks, and desserts. Thank you so much for a great evening. read more

Staff was wonderful. Atmosphere is lovely and great spot to sit and enjoy a glass of wine in the evening. Food is just okay.

This is the best restaurant in Cocoa , and a great contender for all of Brevard County . The servers are educated and the Chef is very good! I love the atmosphere. It is sophisticated . Check it out . You won't be disappointed read more

The food is fantastic and the service is class. The ambiance is on point for the menu.

Price for filet was way too much for quality, could have gone to Texas Roadhouse for a better one..

We went for lunch to celebrate my son's birthday! The food and the service were outstanding! We would highly recommend this restaurant.

It wasn't what I expected. The food was mediocre. I ordered the duck and it wasn't crispy and it was dry. They serve the cheddar mashed potatoes but they didn't taste it. They serve way too much mashed potatoes. We ordered the key lime with chocolate pie and the chocolate cake and both tasted like refrigerator, not fresh at all. For the price I was very disappointed. read more

My husband and I recently came to Cafe Margaux for a 50th anniversary dinner, just for us. The staff went out of their way to make it special. My husband had the locally sourced steak and I had the Rack of Lamb. Both were perfect. Service was very attentive and the cocktails we ordered were great. The restaurant has a very Continental feel to it. The servers are all very professional. The outdoor seating looks like a French Cafe. I highly recommend it for any special occasion or just a romantic dinner for two. The menu offers a nice variety of continental and Florida cuisine. read more

Amazing 6 course meal with wine pairing. The staff went out of their way to accommodate a seafood replacement. Our waiter Matthew was very attentive and a pleasure. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience. read more

Let's start with the good: delicious food and attentive staff. Here's my complaint which, I give tongue in cheek. It was my birthday. I called well in advance to secure a table. I was told by Jason that they could fit me in. We got to the restaurant to see in the first section, a party of four finishing dinner. The other tables were empty. I could see many other empty tables. Our table was the first table next to the entrance and very close to the kitchen. I asked to move us so we did not have to see the kitchen. The answer I got was sorry, we are booked up. Really? A couple was seated next to us and did not like their seats since it was the main corridor. They were moved and accommodated. My brother kindly switched seats so I wouldn't have to watch the swinging kitchen door each time someone came out. My brother asked for the rolls while we waited for our drinks. The " gentleman" who brought the rolls literally bounced them off the plates with a surly look on his face. We said thank you and received no answer. I will go back but never again for a special occasion. read more

A hidden gem in Cocoa village- upscale atmosphere and very nice service. The tomatoe bisque is the best !!

AMAZING!! My family goes here every chance we get. Waitress we had was top notch! The food? Absolutely to die for!!

Fabulous dinner here while we were passing through town. You can sit inside or outside which is nice because it was a beautiful evening to sit outside. We had cocktails , appetizers and dinner. Everything was amazing. The service was spectacular - I would highly recommend to anyone passing through town! My 31 year old son who met us for dinner since he was working close by even sent me a text this morning saying how amazing dinner was last night. (That's a first!). I had the fish trio (combo plate of 3 different fish entrees) delicious! My husband had the duck which was spectacular(his words). My son had the fillet that he's still thinking about the next morning. Oh and the deserts - omg we ordered a few and passed them around. To die for. We can't say enough - just go! read more

great food great service great ambiance one of our favorite places recommend that you take an Uber or Lyft because there is little or no parking in Cocoa Village. read more

Great food, atmosphere, and service. It's the best place to go for special occasions or just a night out.

Cafe Margaux- Cocoa Village- 5.0-Stars "Too many cooks spoil the broth" -- Anonymous 28 years. 28 years in the same spot says a lot about a restaurant. Namely, they cook damn good food. Cafè Margaux has been in the historic Belair Courtyard for 28 years. They have expanded, opened a sister steakhouse in the same center and even bought the entire building. They must be doing something right and I am fairly certain it is the food and not the "team service" experience. There is nothing I can say that has not already been said about the owner of this fine establishment, Alex Litras and his Executive Chef for more than 20 years, Chef Erol Tugrul. As such I shall not bore you any more than usual and get right to the food reviews. I think our server was Michael, but with so many walking around with blinders on, it was hard to pinpoint one. Jennifer started out as the team leader and she was very peppy, happy and exuded enthusiasm. I got lost in the team service concept and if we here at BBDO included things such as ambiance and service in our ratings, this place would drop a star for sure solely because of the discombobulated service set-up. Alas, we do not and so I stand by the 5-star review. Deciding to take full advantage of their bar we began with one Prince Reviver and a Glenlivet 18-year-old, neat. As for our meal, we asked for Coquilles St. Jacques, Escargot and Confit Duck Rillettes Focaccia to start things off and continued with an order of Walnut and Fig stuffed Quail and some Penne Pheasant Breast to complete the experience. Twenty-three minutes later and our drinks are still MIA. Maybe the order got lost in the team shuffle going on in the back, who knows? I had to corral a specific server to complete the 23-minute wait for the 20 servers not bringing our drinks. When they did finally arrive, I must say the Prince Reviver was unique and delicious and the Scotch had an extremely generous pour (making up for time lost?). Thankfully, it wasn't another 23 minutes until our food arrived as Michael was soon seen approaching our table with a tray laden with delectables. The scallops in the Coquilles St. Jacques were tender and sweet, the mushrooms fresh cut and the white wine cream sauce reduced to a perfect consistency while holding its complex flavorings. It was superb, to say the least. The Escargot was cooked properly and I found them to be quite exquisite in their texture and taste. While I was still enjoying the memory of the recently devoured Escargot, I tried the last appetizer on the bill, the order of Confit Duck Rillettes Focaccia. This was also sublime. They were smooth and flavorful while the sauce was light and creamy. Moving on to our accompanying salads before digging into the olfactory treasure chest that was our entreès was a smart move on my part. The Cranberry vinaigrette was bursting with flavor and the salad was clearly homemade. Sadly, the bread service was lacking and nothing to write home about at all. Bread service is the first contact the kitchen has with the guest and it should really set the bar for the following meal. In this case, the bread was the last one standing in a game of kitchen limbo and the rest of the food was setting a pole vaulting state record. Speaking of the rest of the food the order of Walnut and Fig Stuffed Quail had to be some of the most delicious fowl I have ever chewed upon. It was fresh, tender, juicy and the combination of the English walnuts and figs was crunchy and superbly executed. This brings me to the final item to be reviewed, the order of Penne Pheasant Breast. The pasta was obviously homemade and cooked to a perfect al dantè. The Pheasant breast, not unlike the previous Quail was tender, juicy and exploded with flavor on the palate. It might have been the freshly ground chorizo, or perhaps the Manchego Garlic Madeira cream sauce that made this dish so extraordinary, but whatever it was it was done to culinary perfection. There is a reason Cafè Margaux is considered one of the top restaurants in the state of Florida year after year. The winning partnership of Mr. Litras and Chef Erol have not only churned out consistently divine delicacies, but they have constantly raised their own bar and more importantly, have surpassed it each and every time. The Big Boy says, "If you can stand the "team" approach to service and possibly getting lost in the 20 people or so working your table, a meal at Cafè Margaux will more than make up for it!" #bigboydiningout #iamthebigboy read more

Great service and great food. I got an appetizer of Kobe Beef meatballs and got the Duck for the mail course. It was delicious. It wasn't as expensive as I thought for a fancy restaurant. read more

Have eaten here numerous times over the past 10 years or more and was usually pleased. My latest lunch here was a disappointment I'm sorry to say. The salad was wilted bad, uncreative, bland, and the bread looked like a hotdog bun smooshed and cut into triangles with garlic on it. The blackened "grouper"was not grouper, it was a thin small filet, I could see it being tilapia but no way grouper. You can't fool someone who has fished all his life by passing that fish off as grouper. If I was them they should check their provider and that provider should check their providers!! People are fooled and providers busted all the time for saying something is other then what it truly is. Hadn't been here in a long time, won't return again soon. Overpriced and mediocre. read more

Finally, an amazing restaurant in Florida!!! Everything was perfect from the attentive servers to the delicious food. Went with another couple and everyone had someone different. From the soup and the steak, fish and pork chop, to the crème brûlée and key lime pie, one of my new favorite restaurants! Can't wait to return- almost don't want to post this because don't want more people to learn about it and then i can't get a reservation! read more

Taken by great surprise. Friendly high quality service with very high standard detailed cruise. great wine selection and dessert is to die for. This place will remain our one of the favorite place to dine. Highly recommended for your special night out. We will go back for lunch sometime Update****visit #4 We have been enjoying every visit that we have made until two days ago for Christmas Eve dining experience, sad to write this we really hope it didn't happen to us special day like Christmas Eve dinner. We still love this place but... this visit was way to far from our previous experiences. Start with wait person who had less experience with racking on experiences well I must say... if your server tells you "lamb and Elk are taste same" ...? I like to know how their chef feel about this description ...? Our drink came wrong first time wine became beer..???? Also very Loud group of people who claim they are owners friends..? table being close to us didn't help either. Well we will be back for sure snd we will ask our favorite waiter for our next visit. And I won't change my five stars status for this place. read more

Always delicious food and a very attentive wait staff. We have been going there for years and have never been disappointed.

First, it's a bit tricky to find - in the back corner of a courtyard off Brevard - but definitely worth finding! Second, I'm not sure this place deserves a $$$ rating, as their prices are on par with other restaurants offering the level of service and food quality delivered here. Which brings me to service and food: both are excellent. Their team approach to service means you will be served by 2-3 people and you can ask any server for help. Great model! The food is delicious and offers generous portions. We both had the crispy duck and it was not only yummy but big enough for a modest leftover lunch the next day. You will want more sauce, so just ask. They even have gluten free toast as an alternative to dinner rolls! Lots of craft cocktails, a decent wine selection, and plenty of menu variety. The only suggestion I have is to reword the salad offerings: it says a house side salad comes with every entree but their specialty salads may be ordered instead. To me, that reads like the specialty salads can be subbed for the house side, but that's not the case. That confuses people. If you want a specialty salad, it must be ordered as such, not as an alternative to the house side salad. Otherwise, park on the street or in a lot a block away and try this cozy restaurant that offers courtyard and indoor dining. read more

We were seated immediately next to a room with a large and loud party. There are no doors to separate the room from the dining room. It was so loud that we could not talk to each other. It made for a very poor dining experience. read more

Love the food here. Staff is amazing and very attentive. The menu has many items that are yummy. We love the fish here. There is a plate with three different fish with different sauces. The rolls here come hot and smell of yeast. Plenty of wines to choose from. Make reservations a week ahead of time. Cocoa village where the restaurant is located is a wonderful place for a walk and is close to the river. Desserts are awesome. Check out the menu. read more

I am completely unconvinced. I have eaten lunch at Cafe Margaux 3 times now and this last go around provided sufficient information to write this review. The starter salads are limp but true to the menu billing, "Eclectic Salads". The quiche provides many angles for criticism. The middle is akin to a hard egg custard atop of which is an overly generous layer of cheese, bacon, etc. The crust? Forget it. My wife ordered an omelet and very specifically asked that the eggs be cooked very gently; not browned. I can't recall ever seeing an omelet so well cooked...and brown. The Sun on The Beach serves a better prepared omelet and without all the pretense. Great advertising; food not so good. read more

we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner . The service was superb and the food was excellent. We ordered baked Brie, meatball appetizer, escargot and tomato bisque soup and goat cheese salad. Everything was great. read more

The food and service was great. Really enjoyed the atmosphere. Good choice for a special occasion.

We stopped in for lunch during Christmas week. The restaurant was pretty full so we sat outside. The patio area is lovely with old-world style iron tables and chairs and a fountain as well as lush greenery. It all felt very European. I ordered the quiche of the day, Spinach and Cheese, which came with au gratin potatoes as well as carrot and zucchini ribbons. The quiche was quite good until I got to the crust which was under cooked and soggy in some parts. The carrots and zucchini strips seemed so simple but upon first bite were absolutely delicious. Perfectly tender, seasoned well and VERY buttery. The au gratin was very good as well but very heavy for a mid-day meal, in my opinion. My meal was 3 stars but my two lunch dates loved theirs. We ordered dessert for the table to share but I only needed one bite to realize it tasted stale and sickeningly sweet. However, the plate decoration was a great touch. Service was delayed at times but portions are good and prices are decent. Overall, I'd say Cafe Margaux is worth trying if you're in Cocoa Village. read more

First time here and I'm hooked! The food was some of the best I have had in Brevard county! Started with the escargot and the Kobe meatballs for appetizers and both were absolutely succulent! Had the lamb for my entree and it was cooked to perfection. My wife had the prime filet and She loved it keep in mind she is not a foodie and likes little to nothing. I had a couple of bites of her steak and was overly impressed. Will definitely be coming back. Thanks for a fabulous meal! read more

I haven't eaten here in a very long time so I'm making my review on my experience when there. Very upscale and the food is delicious. The Crème Brûlée is off the charts but they don't always have it AND the leak soup is soooo good. It's pricey, but if that's not an issue then go try it! Cute courtyard outside, service was great. read more

I have a yearning for great french food. Luckily we have this fine restaurant. It is especially nice while taking in a show at the historic cocoa village playhouse. Go before the show and enjoy classic french dishes. Save room for dessert because they have a great selection of sweets. read more
