Le Margote

Le Margote is a contemporary gastronomic restaurant in the heart of Le Havre, offering generous lunch and tasting‑menu dinner experiences. It operates as a caterer for corporate and private events with tailored menus for groups, and holds a Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand. The dining room is warm and welcoming; a bright terrace overlooks Bassin du Roi in the Saint‑François quarter. The kitchen is modern, creative, seasonal, rooted in Norman terroir with a vegetal emphasis and focused on products from local producers, responsibly sourced fish and meat. Menus change seasonally and evolve weekly with tasting discoveries. Grands crus and natural wines are offered with rotating suggested food‑and‑wine pairings. Le Margote was born from the meeting of Gauthier Teissère and Marguerite Chalon; Gauthier directs the kitchen while Marguerite shapes the restaurant’s design and service. Specialties include Rattes du Touquet confited in butter with chorizo cream; roasted salsify with cashew and black garlic condiment; flaked haddock with chive vinaigrette and Brussels sprout tartare; langoustines with leeks and bisque; scallops with celery, dill and horseradish sauce; seasonal tasting menus and recurring blind‑tasting experience.
