Story summary

Cafe Margaret, formerly known as Next Door, has reopened under renowned chef Neil Perry's direction in Sydney. The restaurant offers a range of dishes but is particularly noted for its burgers: the 200-gram CopperTree Farms and Blackmore Wagyu beef patty American Cheeseburger with rose mayonnaise, onion, and pickles, as well as the Margaret Burger featuring smoked bacon, gruyere cheese, tomato relish, and Zuni pickles. Despite these offerings, Cafe Margaret focuses on produce-driven fare like a gem lettuce salad with apple, dates, and almonds, and bigeye tuna sashimi served with miso and honey dressing. The restaurant has already attracted significant attention for its fresh drinks and lively atmosphere since reopening.

Narrative

Inside or out, diners come day or night for the simply presented, produce-driven fare the chef made his name on, from a salad of gem lettuce given sweetness and crunch with apple, dates and almonds to a saucy plate of bigeye tuna sashimi on chopped lettuce and avocado with a sweet-savoury miso and honey dressing.
