Wonderful food and service. The ambiance is very special. Would highly recommend. Love it read more

Nice ambiance and love the location of this place. I also appreciated being greeted by the manager of the restaurant which always tells me things are well managed. We spent a little over $300 for dinner for 2 adults and 1 child and the food was prepared well and tasted amazing. We ordered the Baked Brie and scallops which was the best 2 bites of the meal. Everything else was excellent just these 2 really stood out. Tomato bisque was incredible along with the lamb. The wife ordered the mahi mahi which was the special of the day and unfortunately was seriously overcooked. I figured this was a special and not something they cook regularly hence not having complete mastering of preparing this fish. Here are my only comments for why I gave a 4 star vs 5 star: 1. The portions are huge and normally this shouldn't be a problem but the chef would do better to cut the portions literally by 50%. By the time the entree came along I was already stuffed since everything was super yummy and I couldn't really stop eating. The sides were absolutely enormous for each dish lol. 2. Service was very good but I wish someone would've came around to clean up the crumbs on the table top. Also, the plates were large due to portions which made it very difficult to fit all the servings on the table. I would recommend using a plate riser to fix this issue or make the portions smaller and use smaller plates. We had a problem with having enough room on the table. 3. Our server was super nice and awesome. It must've been a shift change and I saw her leave and didn't let us know so I wasn't sure how best to tip since I really appreciated her service. I would hope next time to let patrons know this so we can take care of staff accordingly during a shift change. Also on another side note, I love lamb chops and unsure how the chef prepared it but somehow was able to mask the full taste of lamb. This is neither a positive or negative just an observation and personal preference. I tend to enjoy the taste of lamb while others may not. I have to laud the skill of the chef for their skill in doing so since this was a 1st time experience for me for not being able to taste distinct lamb flavor in lamb chops. Altogether a memorable experience and my critique is based on attention to detail which I feel this restaurant would've been perfect if these 3 items fell better into place for us. The quality of food and price for the portions blew us away in a positive way and even though we spent $300 on dinner we thought this was very reasonable given the large portions and quality ingredients and yummy cocktails. read more

The ambience is very calm and mellow. They have background music and cloth tablecloths. The bread was fresh, warm with butter. The tomato bisque was spectacular as they pride themselves of this being their signature dish. The baked Brie was delicious but at room temperature not melted to my tasting. We also had the scallops and meatballs. The service is amazing because they are constantly catering to us. The Creme Burlee was not special nor the chocolate cake. read more

Impeccable service and excellent food. I had an omelet for lunch and it was delicious, and excellent value for the money. Then I had duck for dinner, and it was really good. Dinner prices are high, but not out of line for a quality restaurant. If you're looking for a restaurant for a special occasion, my vote definitely goes to Cafe Margaux. read more

I had not eaten at Cafe Margaux in 20 years! So long ago I don't even remember the experience. But my mom, sister, and I found ourselves wandering around Cocoa Village on a Monday to celebrate mom's birthday, and wouldn't you know--nearly all the restaurants were closed! We saw that Cafe Margaux was open and thought, why not, it's a celebration. The restaurant is located in the back of the building's courtyard. The interior is beautiful. Very old-school, classic fine dining. White tablecloths, upscale finishes, the whole nine yards. If you choose to eat outside, there is a gorgeous tree providing additional shade over the tables with umbrellas and a soothing water feature. The menu is very traditional European, and they offer many lunch deals, including daily entrees, daily soups, daily quiches, and daily crepes. I had the crepe, and it was fantastic. Mom and sis loved their meals as well. Their cocktails were also classic, but exciting. Perhaps the best part of Cafe Margaux is the service. The server staff works as a well-oiled machine, and we were very well taken care of. I'm sure we've all experienced the dissonance of dining out at what LOOKS like an upscale meal, only to deal with inattentive or dysfunctional service. Thankfully, the service matches the ambiance. Cafe Margaux is a great place for a date night or lunch. With its location right next to the Cocoa Village Playhouse, I'm sure it's a good place to grab a bite before or after a show. We're looking forward to returning, and I'm thinking this might just be part of my permanent rotation in Brevard County. read more

Cafe Margaux has long been and continues to be the standard for fine dining in Brevard. It is our go-to spot for any special occasion, celebration, or simply when the mood hits for an impeccable meal. They strike the perfect balance of refinement while still offering a warm and approachable dining experience. You immediately feel immersed in old world charm as you enter the European style courtyard. With string lights overhead and the gentle sounds of the fountain flowing, a dinner reservation becomes a small getaway. You can dine al fresco in the romantic courtyard or be seated in one of the three uniquely exquisite dining rooms. The atmosphere is elegant and modern and the service is always exceptional. The tomato bisque is a singular dish that has not been topped in my years of avid soup-eating. Truly, I. Love. Soup. And this is simply the best there is. The house salad with goat cheese, baked Brie, seasonal fish melange, and key lime pie are a few other favorites, among many! If you're looking to dine with a delicious cocktail (the Snow White Cosmo is my go-to) or extensive options of wines, Cafe Margaux is the place. This restaurant has been the backdrop to many a special life celebration filled with outstanding, memorable flavors and incredible service. Each visit leaves you ready to plan your next meal there. It is a local gem that we're so lucky to have in our little corner of the world. Truly the best in Brevard! read more

Great team serving, nice ambiance, amazing food. Try the tomato basil soup, you won't regret it!

The food is always amazing. Service impeccable atmosphere romantic all important things to me for a fine diner

What an amazing experience. Before you even get into the front door the ambiance is relaxing, classic feeling as almost you have arrived home. The staff are pleasant and present to help with all your needs. I have been to quite a few expensive fancy places to eat, and it's just something different and more personal with these folks. Not something you get when you walk into a 5 star restaurant now a days. The food is great, while I'm not a fan of tomato to where I order bisque, I'm glad I did. The after taste is fantastic and would order it again. Steak was alright, but it's just a steak. If you are in the area for what ever reason, you need to come here. Don't miss out read more

Cafe Margaux - French Near Me - Cocoa, Florida

Tucked into a pocket in Cocoa village, lies the charming and welcoming Cafe Margaux with a whimsical fountain and outside area covered by umbrellas along with a inside dining area showcasing a stunning interior and multiple rooms sit in. The service was perfection. The staff was kind, hospitable and happy to recommend detailed descriptions of their offerings. Truly masters of their art. We started with a bottle of wine, their endless bread and butter service and their Wagyu meatballs, Crab cakes and Famous Tomato soup. All exceeded expectations. The soup alone makes me dream of my next visit. Their house salads came with a choice of dressings; we tried the vinaigrette and blue cheese. Both were divine and very fresh. For the entrée;, we both chose the beef tenderloin cubes, served on a skewer with a beautiful presentation and show by our server. Mash potatoes were creamy, the gravy had a wonderful rich cognac flavor, and the vegetables were soft, flavorful and firm. For dessert, we had a delicious cappuccino, and tried the pecan pie and chocolate cake with homemade whip and sprinkles! As fine dining as this was, the kid in me rejoiced at the site of the sprinkles! From beginning to end, this was an extraordinary experience. For anyone looking for a special occasion or just an evening to spoil themselves, Café Margaux is the way to! read more

The fantastic food and superb service is always perfect every single time year after year.

I had the pleasure of experiencing a wonderful night at cafe Margaux for an exceptional event "cakebread wine dinner," which was the first of the year to kick off the season. Each course was beautifully prepared and perfectly paired--every wine truly elevated the dish it accompanied. The balance of flavors, the thoughtful pairings, and the warm, elegant atmosphere made the entire experience feel special from start to finish. Exceptional food, outstanding wine, and attentive service--this is more than dinner, it's an experience. Highly recommend if you ever get the chance. read more

Had a delicious ribeye steak and it was cooked to perfection. It is a very nice restaurant within Cocoa Village which is great for walking around before or after and seeing the scenic banana river.

My fiancé and I love it here. We took my mother in law here for her birthday and decided to try the tomato bisque soup since everyone raves about it. I had low expectations cause really how good could tomato bisque even be? It was HEAVENLY. Like it has permanently ruined all other tomato bisque cause it will just pale in comparison. I've been wanting to go back just for the bisque and the bread read more

Inside or out, you will not be disappointed. The owners are present, welcoming, and genuinely invested in every detail. They go above and beyond to create an elevated, elegant experience--delivered with warmth and grace, never with fanfare or horn-tooting. I especially love the Turkish chandelier and the ambiance in that room, but each dining room is it's own special experience and the food and libations are curated and I have yet to have anything less than stellar. If you are fortunate to attend a wine dinner or other special event you will not be sorry. Call ahead for a truly bespoke experience. read more

Excellent dining experience! Comfortable and reserved setting that would be great for a night out w/ your favorite person. Service was excellent, and while the interruptions were minimal, you never wanted for anything. I went with the ribeye and it was excellent. Cooked to order, it was a good cut of beef. My wife and colleagues all enjoyed their entrees, as well. Only negative? The chocolate cake we had for dessert was dry. I'm guessing they don't make their deserts in house?? Otherwise, very good meal! Cheers! RS read more

Cafe Margaux - French Near Me - Cocoa, Florida

The Brie was the best of the whole meal. Then it was down hill after that. We celebrated my birthday here and did not have a candle in my dessert like the table next to me who was celebrating a birthday too. This was a special occasion and was noted in the reservation. My husband had the melange trio of fresh seafood. The salmon was very fishy and the other fish were very dry. We had the amaretto cake and there was no amaretto flavor and it was very dry. We had the manager stop by several times to ask how everything was. We did not want to complain about everything at that time since it was my birthday and did not want to order anything different. We did not have the same server so would receive each dish from a different person. read more

The food is always good at Cafe Margaux. They are probably the priciest place in the area, but, as long as the food, service and ambiance are great, price is not a deterrent. Service is really dependent on who you get as a server - had some really good ones, but also a snooty one here and there. The biggest issue - and I don't know how you fix this at their current location - is the noise level inside. They have essentially separate rooms, that are not very big; ceilings are also low and tables are close to each other, which means that if you're in the same room with a party that is even moderately loud, you literally can't carry a conversation at your own table. The bar area is small and cramped as well, so that's not an option. Best alternative is the patio, unless it's muggy or rainy. There used to be a time where this was the best place to take someone for a special occasion - thankfully, there are alternatives these days. read more
