Restaurants in Scarborough

  1. A

    Golden Grid

    Whoever said fish and chips can't be eaten with dignity hasn't tried the Golden Grid, a sit-down fish restaurant that has been serving the best cod in Scarborough since 1883. It's staunchly traditional, with starched white tablecloths and starched white aprons, as is the menu – as well as fish and chips there's freshly landed crab, lobster, prawns and oysters, plus sausage and mash, liver and bacon, and steak and chips.

    Lanterna

    A snug, old-fashioned Italian trattoria that specialises in fresh local seafood (including lobster, from £32), and classic dishes from the old country such as stufato de ceci (old-style chickpea stew with oxtail) and white-truffle dishes in season (October to December, £30 to £45). As well as sourcing Yorkshire produce, the chef imports delicacies direct from Italy, including truffles, olive oil, prosciutto and a range of cheeses.

    Marmalade's

    This stylish brasserie in Beiderbecke's Hotel – cream and chocolate colours, art with a musical theme, and cool jazz in the background (live on Thursday and Saturday) – has a menu that adds a gourmet twist to traditional dishes such as roast pork, rack of lamb, and steak and chips.

    Glass House

    Homemade lasagne, steak-and-ale pie, and filled baked potatoes pull in the lunchtime crowds at this appealing (and always busy) cafe beside the start of the North Bay Railway, while fried breakfasts, sandwiches, cakes and scones fill the menu for the rest of the day.
