Real Flavors, Real Stories!
Welcome to Margot & Montañez, where every bite tells a story. Our journey began not just a few years ago with our founder Jen, but traces back to May 1916, with the birth of her grandmother, Margot. Born in Caracas, Venezuela, Margot wasn't just a cook; she was a culinary rebel who knew that good food meant happiness.
Jen grew up under Margot's influence, where a visit to grandma's house meant a delicious escape. At twelve, she was already in the kitchen, baking and learning. Margot's passing at seventy-three left a legacy – a love for food that makes people feel good.
Jen's baking journey has taken her around the world, from Venezuela to the US, Denmark, UK and now Australia, carrying with her a suitcase full of recipes and a heart full of memories. She started with alfajores and other treats, each with a twist that's uniquely Jen, uniquely Margot.
Now in Australia, we're on a mission with Margot & Montañez: to bring a slice of South American warmth mixed with global influences right to your table.
We're about authentic tastes and real connections. Our recipes are a blend of family traditions and the new flavours Jen discovered in her travels.
Margot & Montañez isn't just about food. It's about that feeling of home, of comfort, and of sharing. Whether it's a bite of our alfajores or a new treat we've whipped up, we invite you to join our story. Taste the legacy, share the joy, and make some memories of your own with Margot & Montañez.
