We went to Margo’s for a dinner after seeing the great reviews on HappyCow. We ordered a starter which was really good, perhaps the best part of the meal. The customer service was outstanding in general too. Friendly, quick, and helpful.
On the other hand, my pizza was just so so, and my partner’s pasta was bland. If we went back to this place we would probably order something else.
Positive experience overall even though the food was just average.

Food is amazing. All plant based and really nicely made. Drinks are really fresh and tasty. I recommend the skinny margarita. Over all; service could be better. At arrival we almost felt that we were disturbing the staff.
Not clear how it works with drinks and food. Some of the drinks were served to the table, the rest of the order you have to pick up yourself in the bar. Tips is to use trays if you serve one, you can serve three. Specially if they are on the same order and the same kind. You will not be offered water to the table which for me is strange in the the warm weather and very spicy food.
With better service I would have given a five star rate.

Most unique, creative vegan food in town. You’ll be blown away by the options and how you don’t even know it’s vegan. Xavier and the rest of the staff are the friendliest kindest in L.A. If you want a gourmet quality meal at a reasonable price and be made to feel like you’re a local regular, this is the place!

We decided to stop and rest of feet after walking up and down Montana Ave during their sidewalk sale. It was a warm summer humid day in Santa Monica.
Margo's was a perfect oasis. At first I wanted to sit inside, thinking they would have air conditioning. I was wrong. It was a sauna inside. There is a small bar right in front if you want to sit for a cocktail, but we chose to order, pay and find a table outside around the corner where we could get an ocean breeze. This is not a full service restaurant as it once was pre pandemic.
Service was a bit slow, because they were under staffed and this is why I am giving them 4 stars instead of 5. I had to walk into the restaurant and ask for glasses for water. Outside there is a self service station with chilled water, but no glasses/ cups.
We ordered a mushroom pizza and a baby kale salad to share. The food arrived and it smelled so good, but we had to ask for extra plates. I wanted to have a plate for my pizza and salad because we were sharing both items. I also had to ask the staff for refills on my ice tea.
The mushroom pizza was delicious! We love mushrooms, so it was heavenly! The baby kale salad was so tasty with the crunchy toasty faro. I will definitely recommend both items again.
Metered parking only. Read the parking signs carefully.
UPDATE! May 2023!!!
Full Service restaurant this time. Yay! We shared a Mushroom Pizza and Brussel Sprouts. The Happy Hour Menu has a limited array of food a drink so we only ordered the margaritas from the happy hour menu. I love their Mushroom pizza so I stuck to what I liked. We shared the Brussel Sprouts and I really liked the olive oil with the pistachios!

I LOOOOVE Margo’s! They have an incredible menu with superb vegan dishes. I love their Breakfast Pizza, Cacio E Pepe, Mushroom Pizza, but my FAV is the Chicken Caesar Wrap - it’s heavenly.

Great breakfast sandwich, Caesar salad and also the pasta. Sandwich was the best! Everything fresh, nice service, we will come next time to try the pizza.

The ambience is chill and the food is prepared delicately. We had mushroom pizza, which is a little too salty and oily. It might be better to pair with a drink which we didn’t get. There is also a nice bar with big TV. The pesto was good, not too saucy or oily, the portion tho is not that big. But the pizza can probably be shared by two. Service is okay; parking available in the back. Would recommend only if you are looking for vegetarian/vegan food AND wanting to get some drinks at the same time.

HEAPS of vegan options. Caesar salad was excellent. Nice place to sit outside in the evening, great vibe and service was super friendly.

My aunt and I have long been fans of Margo’s: the welcoming neighborhood vibe remains high on our list for fab drinks and apps. Our fondness grew even stronger when we discovered their new Plant Based pivot!
The apps are as delicious as they look: rich in flavor and texture. The drinks are beautifully crafted. Paired with basking in the sun or lounging in the shade with the {corona conscious} outdoor seating along and adjacent Montana Ave, Margo’s is truly a great shout.

If you can handle the sugar, the French toast sticks are marvelous, but otherwise their Sicilian Breakfast Pizza is definitely worth a try. It’s all vegan, and the pizza is gluten free too!

Decided to take myself on a date and try this place recommended by a friend. I was told that this place used to serve different options but is now plant-based! I love when I can look at everything on a menu and choose whatever I please. Even though everything is vegan now, I think this place still has something for everyone's liking whether it's a burger or pizza or delectable drink.
Pictured: I tried the impossible sliders, they are fantastic. I was worried they would seem like a normal burger, just small, but the jalapeño aioli made it top notch flavor. I also tried the jackfruit pineapple (al pastor) taco, along with a drink called sorry not sorry which is sweet and spicy.
Overall the sliders were the star of the show. I can't wait to go back try more things (and drinks!) and bring some friends who I know would love this place next time!

This place is designed so chic that I was surprised to experience such a cozy and laid back atmosphere. I arrived a little after 12 noon, but only waited about 20 mins. Well worth the wait. They serve brunch and mine was simple & delicious classic breakfast. Tonguy, our waiter from France, was an expert in customer service, as is all the staff. This is a place to take someone you love!

Holy wow, the food! Everyone LOVED it, and only 1 person there was vegan, so meat-lovers will still approve.
The pasta(!!), pizza, fries, tacos, sliders, everything was a hit with our group. The drinks were also really good. Ambience is chill. There's a small dedicated lot for parking, and then street parking. Overall just a great, if upscale priced, vegan place.

Margo’s is my go-to restaurant when I’m in the mood for a casual weekend brunch with bottomless mimosas. For $20, you get bottomless mimosas with entrees purchased. The food is good, the service is awesome, and they have indoor and outdoor dining. They’ve revamped their menu to include both plant-based menu and regular menu with two separate kitchens. Good stuff!

After going full vegan in 2021, I was very pleased to see that Margo's started serving food again in August 2023! Both the Salmon Benedict and Prosciutto Benedict were delicious, boasting high quality and fresh ingredients that were savory from the first bite to the last. The Chicken & Waffles is also quite a formidable breakfast opponent, as the honey maple sriracha is guaranteed to overwhelm your tastebuds with pleasure. Overall a great experience, and the addition of meat is a great addition to Montana!

Scrumptious all plants meals! Nice atmosphere, varied menu including weekend brunch and full bar. Outside seating & Great service to when we were there.

Very cute place with excellent customer service! Came in for the first time. I ordered the avocado toast with scrambled egg on top. It was very tasty. Lattes are very good. Only one suggestion I want to make is to label the protein choices to say grilled salmon. When you have an avocado toast under sandwiches I assume the protein is not a grill salmon that will go on top of my avocado toast. I assume it's LOX. The price says $10 but when you are extremely hungry you don't care about the price. I would have paid $20 for LOX for that matter. It just gets a tad confusing when you just have the word Salmon 10. But overall this place is great. I would definitely return.

That picture is a banana blueberry waffle with sliced almonds. If it doesn't make you want to eat here then nothing will. Delicious breakfast food and a nice atmosphere with friendly employees. Come check it out for brunch if you're in the vicinity!
