Featured dry-aged beef was gristly, vegetable sides to spicy, and scallops over-seared. On the opposite hand, the apple soufflé should not be missed under ANY circumstances! We would likely explore other dining in the region before considering a return to Margan.

Located in Broke Fordwich sub-region, there are fewer wineries in the area therefore a resounding quietness on this side of the Valley. The restaurant has a kitchen garden complete with chooks freely roaming inside their considerably large pen. The produce they use are either local or come fresh from the garden, the free range eggs, heirloom garden vegetables, strawberries, herbs and others, even their wine comes from the grapes grown in their vineyard here in Broke Fordwich. I had the baked eggs with chorizo, tomato, saffron and manchego. A hearty combination and accompanied with a locally sourced coffee definitely warmed my morning. My husband had the Margan Breakfast. It's their version of a big breakfast with eggs, bacon, tomato and black pudding. It was tasty and my husband thought the black pudding was a very tasty hashbrown, and I didn't want to burst his bubble. And don't get me started on the buttermilk pancakes my son had, with honeycomb, banana and creme fraiche. The pancake was fluffy, the honeycomb added texture and the creme fraiche balanced the flavour without being overly sweet. The staff were warm and attentive. The restaurant normally operates for lunch and dinner, but they open for breakfast on Sunday. It's best if you book in advance, as their opening hours may vary. Then we went to the cellar door to taste and purchase some of their award winning wine. It was a perfect way to start the day!

I don't remember his name. He would explain each wine prior to pouring and explained how to pair it with the chocolate correctly. My favorite was Salera Riesling. It was their Riesling mixed with Cognac. It smelled super strong...strong like you now have a chest full of hair....but it was soo good! It was paired with a chocolate covered fig, which was also delicious! This pairing was so good! I wished there was more.
