Restaurants in Whitby

  1. A

    Magpie Café

    The Magpie flaunts its reputation for serving the 'World's Best Fish and Chips'. Damn fine they are too, but the world and his dog knows about it, and summertime queues can stretch along the street. Fish and chips from the takeaway counter cost £5; the sit-down restaurant is dearer, but offers a wide range of seafood dishes, from grilled sea bass to paella.

  2. Fish & Chips

    For many visitors, Whitby cuisine extends no further than a fish-and-chip supper (served with peas, bread and tea), obtainable most everywhere but preferably at the world's most famous chipper. If you want to keep your cholesterol in check, there are a few other options.

    Green's

    The classiest eatery in town is ideally situated to take its pick of the fish and shellfish freshly landed at the harbour. Grab a hearty lunch in the ground floor bistro (moules-frites, sausage and mash, fish and chips) or head to the upstairs restaurant for a sophisticated dinner date.

    Trenchers

    Top-notch fish and chips minus the 'World's Best' tagline – this place is your best bet if you want to avoid the queues at the Magpie (don't be put off by the modern look).

    Moon & Sixpence

    This brand-new brasserie and cocktail bar has a prime position, with views across the harbour to the abbey ruins. The seafood-dominated menu ranges from hearty winter warmers such as chunky vegetable soup and fish pie, to more sophisticated dishes like a half-dozen oysters au naturel and seared scallops with black pudding.
