Marcy's — Modern Coastal Bistro on Duxton Road

Nestled along Duxton Road, Marcy’s delivers a refined, intimate take on the modern coastal bistro - where precise technique and layered flavours come together in a seafood-led menu.

Highlights include:

🐚Hokkaido Scallop Crudo

Pristine scallops are lifted by a vibrant leche tigre, where bright acidity and subtle tropical notes enhance their natural sweetness. Roe adds depth and texture, resulting in a dish that is poised, expressive, and elegantly composed.

🦀Marcy’s Crab Toast

A must-order signature! Sweet crab is generously layered over crisp, golden toast, enriched by creamy, savoury accents. The interplay of richness and texture is seamless, delivering a dish that is both comforting and quietly sophisticated.

🦐Hasselback Frites

A polished take on a familiar classic. Crisp on the outside and fluffy within, the potatoes are elevated with thoughtful accompaniments, bringing both textural nuance and a subtle sense of playfulness.

🐙Rigatoni (Red Wine-Braised Octopus)

A deeper, more robust offering. Tender octopus, slow-braised in red wine, yields a sauce of notable depth and intensity. Cloaking al dente rigatoni, it forms a cohesive, full-bodied dish that provides a compelling contrast to the lighter courses.

🍰Le Bête Noir

A decadent finale. Crafted from dark chocolate, it delivers a dense, velvety richness, balanced by lighter elements that temper its intensity. The result is a dessert that is both indulgent and finely judged.

I thoroughly enjoyed every dish at Marcy’s, where each plate felt thoughtfully executed, with flavours that were both confident and memorable. What stood out just as much was the atmosphere; even on a weekday night, the restaurant was buzzing and completely packed, a clear testament to how well-loved it is. It’s the kind of place that delivers both in food and energy, and one I would highly recommend without hesitation.
