I visited here today with my wife and we both absolutely loved it! A warm and friendly welcome as soon as you enter with options of either a lounge area (where dogs are welcome) or a dining area to sit in.
There is great range of food on offer including vegan and gluten-free options. I chose the homemade beef burger (I added halloumi on top of mine), all of which was cooked perfectly and full of flavour. My wife chose the mushroom pate, which was also delicious (especially with the onion chutney) along with a very generous and particularly tasty side portion of sweet potato fries!
There were also a delicious and wide range of really interesting drinks. The two examples that we chose to have were “black currant and liquorice” and “rhubarb and rosehip”. We were too full to try the deserts but they looked amazing and will definitely have to be sampled another time.
Thank you very much - we will be returning!
I took my 3yo and 1yo for lunch we had such a lovely time! Lots of toys to play with...the menu is brill and caters for all tastes with gluten free and vegan options! There was even some pooches hanging around we could stroke! A must visit when in Whitby!
We enjoy coming here for an early Breakfast bun. The coffee is fantastic too.
The staff are very accommodating and friendly, food is quality and always hot.
The prices are reasonable and there’s a fair choice on the menu.
It’s dog friendly and although I don’t really like dogs around food, every visit, the dogs have all been very well behaved.
If I had one criticism, as it was December, and quite cold, I’d fit some sort of door closing device. How people think it’s OK to leave the door open is beyond me. Its certainly won’t stop us coming again, but I think I’d prefer not to stay in the section where the entrance is.
Edit. Another visit. Really well looked after with my Dairy free breakfast. Extra credit when we hadn’t realised the mushrooms were cooked in butter.
Have eaten at this hidden gem twice now and it never disappoints. Restaurant is spacious and airy - staff are welcoming & it’s nice being served with a genuine smile. The selection of food is good with excellent vege & vegan options available. I had the vege chilli nachos and the portion was huge - I needed help finishing it. Overall, a very tasty & satisfying lunch in a fantastic location. Our group of 5 really enjoyed both visits here and will return when we’re next in Whitby. Perfect to dine before climbing the 199 steps!
Having booked an apartment with the shepherds purse, the Bistro was Ideal to go to for breakfast in fact it was so nice we came back for an evening meal as well, which was wonderful too. The staff were very pleasant and very happy to make sure all was well, performed with a smile. The coffee was really nice, not sure what it was called but excellent! The list of cakes was just mouth watering. So I can highly recommend this Bistro for breakfast or evening meal, fabulous.
Plate was super hot so be careful. I probably wouldn't put salad leaves on such a hot plate either. But apart from that I had the double french toast with bacon and it was a nice change from a full English.
Had a lovely lunch here with the family! Great for gluten free options and also several vegan options would definitely recommend as a coeliac. I had the chilli nachos which was lovely! Very generous portions
Our visits to Whitby just wouldn't be the same without a stop off at Sanders'!
I'm sure I've reviewed it before, and it's just as good as ever. Tea in a pot! Great coffee and fabulous hot chocolate to accompany our lovely cakes.
Dog friendly, friendly staff, warm... just great.
Really nice please. Plenty of veggie options. Good quality food. The salad could be better ( bulk frisee salad and half a tiny tomato )the Mississippi mud pie wasn't the right thing it was a cheesecake type thing not the layered pie that it should be- it was still ok but not as good as it should be. Would still go back. It was very busy and the staff were great.
This is a fantastic place. The setting, food and service couldn't be better and they're dog friendly! We always make a point of visiting whenever we're in Whitby and are never disappointed. Our last visit was to have breakfast and it was amazing. Their gluten free choices are excellent, it is so refreshing to eat somewhere where my diet isn't an issue. Highly recommend!
Fantastic mezze platter and sandwiches in a sunny location! Great selection of food and drinks, cute outdoor area to enjoy the Whitby sun.
We had a wonderful lunch here last week. We were lucky to get a seat outside in the courtyard which was very pretty and quiet. We enjoyed the Greek mezze platter along with the squid and the duck rolls off the specials menu. They were all delicious and the perfect amount for 2 people, for a good sized lunch. We like good food and this was the best dog friendly place we found to eat all week, so highly recommend!
