Crowds pack this Old Town spot for fine bistro fare at budget-friendly prices. Chef-owner Joe Doppes oversees outstanding classics like steak frites, grilled salmon and pates. The convivial table-stuffed Art Nouveau room may seem overcrowded to some, but Bistro Margot has expanded to include an upstairs dining room and bar.
