Miss Margot draws from a time when evenings were unhurried and built around conversation, well-made drinks, and lingering company. Created for those who appreciate nuance, restraint, and old-world charm, it brings back the quiet pleasure of a night spent entirely at ease.
At the heart of this vision is Kishore D.F., whose legacy in Bombay’s hospitality landscape spans some of its most culturally defining spaces, including Seijo and the Soul Dish and The Tanjore Tiffin Room. He is known for creating venues that have shaped how the city eats, drinks, and gathers. Having been an integral part of Bombay’s original lounge movement through the ’90s and early 2000s, his deep understanding of that era lends Miss Margot its quiet confidence, timeless elegance, and considered detail. He’s joined by Partner Dimi Lezinska, a globally recognised name in spirits and hospitality whose career spans London’s most iconic bars and international stages from the Academy Awards and Cannes to British Academy for Television Arts and the Toronto Film Festival. Known for his intelligent, balanced approach to mixology and a keen sense of discernment, Dimi’s philosophy is rooted in restraint and the honest expression of ingredients focusing on substance and technique. Completing the trio is Chef Parth Purandare, whose menu of small plates draws from modern European, Continental flavours and Japanese techniques. His cooking is nuanced yet familiar, with layered references rooted in continental traditions.
At Miss Margot, the cocktail menu leads the conversation. It is designed to resonate with the mood of the moment with each drink composed with intention and a deep understanding of flavour. Among the signatures is Miss Margot, the lounge’s namesake serve, a gin- based concoction that’s quietly bold. It opens with a bright citrus lift, followed by the rich depth of morello cherry and the soft elegance of maraschino. The gin brings clarity and a clean, herbal edge, while the fruit adds body, texture, and a touch of intrigue. The Classic Martini offers a pour of pure precision, a crystal-clear blend of gin and dry vermouth. The Coral Gibson is a standout: dry vermouth and gin lifted by radish pickle and crab, offering coastal freshness and savoury intrigue. For moments of celebration, Only Fans offers a flirty nod to the late Douglas Ankrah’s iconic creation, vodka is infused with passionfruit, topped with vanilla sparkling wine, and served with unapologetic charm. Inquisitive Cat prowls with quiet elegance and then surprises with a bold, unexpected burst of flavour, combining Jose Cuervo Reposado Tequila, prawn-infused Aperol, prawn pickle, grapefruit juice, grapefruit cordial, lime, and blood orange kombucha. Meanwhile the Swaggermaster, is confident and layered combining Flor de Caña 12 YO, sherry, Luxardo Morlacco cherry liqueur, and Luxardo Amaro.
Highlights of the food menu include the Tom Yum Gambas, which brings together prawns and sea bream in a bold, comforting broth, served with soft mantou buns. The Tuna Negimaki pairs beautifully with citrus veloute, pomme puree and crispy leeks. The Goat Cheese and Beet Salad offers brightness and contrast, with pickled beets, Rechado cream, and spiced rice crisps. The Hay Smoked Salmon is elevated with gentleman’s relish and citrus soy and flying fish roe, while the Deconstructed Chicken Wings come laced with sambal buffalo sauce and are finished with shaved Roquefort.
Miss Margot spans 4,000 square feet and seats up to 128 guests, with interiors designed by Shabnam Gupta of The Orange Lane. The space blends intimacy and elegance through velvet upholstery, brushed gold accents, mirrored surfaces, and warm lighting. Key features include a striking candle-lit entry, a long bar at its heart, chandeliers that stretch across the ceiling, and a mix of seating; cozy tables, plush couches, and a community table. Parisian-style gilded mirrors etched with French graffiti reflect the room’s signature teal-emerald glow, creating a space that feels both cinematic and inviting.
Every detail at Miss Margot is shaped by intention. Each drink, each dish, and each flicker of candlelight is designed to evoke a mood that has become rare in the city, one of quiet confidence, timeless pleasure, and the joy of simply being present. It brings together a team with deep roots in hospitality, a cocktail program grounded in substance, and a kitchen that values nuance over novelty. From the mood of the room to the structure of the menu, every element is considered. In a city crowded with noise, Miss Margot offers something quieter, more thoughtful, and built to last.
