Margot is the fresh-faced new café from the LeftField team, occupying the former Castello space on Barclay Terrace. It’s a box-fresh, double-level spot with green views and a minimalist vibe that feels more like a modern bistro than a traditional café. The menu leans into brunch and lunch with smart, locally sourced options like the pulled beef brisket sandwich and the croque Margot—a playful twist with pancakes and bechamel.
A fresh, modern café with serious food credentials
Margot has quickly become a go-to for a quality bite in Tollcross, thanks to the pedigree behind it from the LeftField team. The space is clean and bright, with plenty of natural light and a sleek, uncluttered aesthetic that makes it feel contemporary without being cold. The menu is concise but thoughtful—skip the generic toast and go for the pulled beef brisket sandwich with gochujang mayo; it’s a meaty, flavour-packed doorstop that’s become a local favourite. Their house-made rhubarb soda is a refreshing touch, and the sourdough with Rhyze mushrooms is a solid vegetarian option if you’re after something earthy and umami-rich.
