Nestled in our distinctive black and white building overlooking the picturesque harbour, The Magpie Cafe in Whitby invites you to enjoy the stunning views of Whitby while savouring our wide selection of exquisite meals. Renowned throughout North Yorkshire and beyond, we have built a reputation for being one of the finest fish restaurants in the area. It's not uncommon to see a queue outside our establishment in all weathers and seasons as patrons eagerly anticipate sampling our acclaimed fish dishes.
Our Menu and Reputation
Famous for our fish and chips, seafood chowder, and other excellent fish dishes, our restaurant has attracted praise from customers near and far. The secret to our success lies in our dedication to providing high-quality food and service. Our customers appreciate the generous portions of fresh fish, including mussels, lemon sole, cod or haddock in crispy batter, accompanied by delectable chips. We cater for all appetites, offering smaller fish portions for those with smaller appetites. Although we take pride in our fish and chips, our menu extends beyond that, with an array of fish stew combinations and chowder dishes with rich sauces. Each dish is crafted carefully to elevate your dining experience and leave you feeling satisfied.
Our service and food quality have earned us numerous accolades, including recommendations from the Good Food Guide and Gorgeous Cottages. We have also been recognised as a Restaurant Guru Recommended establishment.
