Our Story

Through the Margaret Family, Neil’s dream is to bring the Double Bay neighbourhood to life through a celebration of cooking, hospitality, and generosity built from his ‘Care’ philosophy.

First came Margaret the restaurant. Named for chef Neil Perry’s late mother, it was a loving tribute to the woman who nurtured and cared for the family, who brought and held everyone together. As Neil began to expand with more dining venues in the same Double Bay neighbourhood, the Margaret way of life began to spread across the entire precinct.

The Margaret Family’s four venues are distinct yet share the same ‘Care’ philosophy. It’s about caring for suppliers, one another, the community, and the environment. It’s about creating memories with loved ones over the finest produce and drinks. The Margaret Family is committed to delivering Australia’s best produce, sourced from suppliers Neil has developed personal relationships with over the course of his career. He’s always been passionate about promoting them along the way, which also provides transparency for guests about where their meal comes from. That’s what we mean by ‘Care’.

Through the Margaret Family, Neil’s dream is to bring the neighbourhood to life through a celebration of cooking, world-class hospitality and strong relationships. From a high-end modern Australian and Italian dining experience to one of Sydney’s best American-style cheeseburgers, this corner of Double Bay has it all. Kick off your day with lunch at Cafe Margaret, unwind with an aperitivo at Pizzeria Sotto, or enjoy a memorable dinner at Gran Torino or Margaret. It’s the ultimate culinary destination in the heart of Double Bay!
