A real gem if you like seafood or even if you're with someone who loves seafood.
The focus here is the food, the setting isn't fancy or gimmicky and the menu, while extensive is without any unnecessary frills.
For a fish restaurant, the vegetarian options were excellent and equally well designed an
We went to The Magpie Cafe on a recommendation and pre booked online in advance. We arrived early due to bad weather and the staff were able to seat us straight away, which was great. The restaurant is clean and welcoming. The waiting staff were brilliant and very knowledgeable about the food. Overa
Could not fault it. What better place to have our wedding anniversary meal while staying in Whitby. Fabulous waitress serving us throughout. Food was delicious. Husband had cod and chips and I had the crab salad. Ample portions to suit the heartiest of appetites. Good wine selection too.
No doubt, an award recipient. Highly recommended. The queue is worth it.
The fish and Chips can't be missed. It's crunchy on the outside and tender on the Inside.
Had the 'magpie fish pie' as well and it was awesome. Perfect!!!
Join the queue! Don't hesitate
This is some of the best seafood I have had in the UK. The oysters are unbelievable, the crab dishes are succulent and flavorful! My dad had the vegan stroganoff which he enjoyed a lot. My partner also loved the classic fish & chips. I would recommend booking in advance as they are very crowded.
Had a fantastic meal, great service and staff are friendly and welcoming.
The only thing that let the night down was 2 unruly children who couldn't be tamed by their parents. I felt for the staff as most of the kids food ended up on the floor.
Probably the best complete meal we’ve ever had. Started with pickled cockles and mussels, then a seafood platter, then lemon sole deluxe, haddock and woof platter, garlic prawns with garlic potatoes polished off with a coke float. Simply unbelievable.
There are some places where you know that 7,000 plus good reviews can't be wrong, and this is one of them. There is a lot of choice on the menu from standard cod and chips to seafood specials - we went for seafood hotpot, mussels and chips, and haddock and salmon gratin, all of them excellent. Great
Delicious and great value for what you get. Huge portions of tasty local seafood from off the coast of Yorkshire. Seafood platter to start is lovely and you get a really wide range to taste. They also do gluten free fish and chips, perfectly cooked. Staff really nice and helpful. They queue out the
Had a booking for 14:15 but due to the horrendous weather we thought we would get seated inside and enjoy some fish and chips. The waitress was lovely and helped with ordering although I wanted to try some lobster and she recommended getting half to share between 3, cost was no issue but she recomme
When ever I've visited Whitby there has always been a qué from the door at Magpie cafe. The restaurant has a great setting overlooking the harbour, service is good and staff are friendly. The quality of the fish and chips is very good. Mushy peas and a pot of tea are a must! The price is on the hig
Highly recommend, we started with the mussels and calamari which were some of the best we’ve ever had! The fish n chips also 👌. The portions are quite big so would consider sharing a few plates.
It does get busy, but they seat people pretty quick.
Best calamari, tasty seafood.
The crispy batter on the calamari was so good, big portion size and came with a nice dipping sauce. The calamari tasted very fresh, the best I’ve tried so far.
I also had a hot seafood pot that came with a warm ciabatta, the wine sauce they cooked the seafood in was so
Always come here when we come to Whitby which is usually once a year.
My Wife had Sea Bass & Prawn starter with Grilled Cod and chips and peas
I went for seafood medle for starter
And really treated myself to Lobster Thermador.Swilled with a bott of local cider. No room for puddings! Love the Magpie
The best fish and chips in the UK. The quality of the fish used is very high and the batter is always crispy and light. A must visit for anyone in Whitby.
We had a starter from “today special” - grilled scallops and 2 mains. Absolutely loved each bite. My partner had fish and chips and he said it was the best he ever tried.
Best fish and chips in Whitby. We were lucky enough to walk straight in at 11:30. Perfectly cooked. Delicious. No more to say other than 10/10
it is delicious but maybe because it was the end of the day on easter weekend i felt the fish was a little bitter tasting in the batter, staff were wonderful and kind. the interior isn’t as cute or old school as i was hoping it would be, feels a little packed and feels a bit like a school canteen in
