Magpie Café
The Magpie Cafe is known throughout North Yorkshire and beyond as one of the finest fish restaurants in the area. One of the things every visitor to Whitby notices is the queue outside Magpie in all weathers and seasons to sample the finest fish dishes in Yorkshire. The fish and chips, seafood chowder and other excellent fish dishes sets The Magpie apart and their reputation is based on the good quality of the food and service they provide to their guests.
The Magpie Café has a long association with fishing and the shipping industry. It was built in 1750 as a Merchant’s House and during its history was owned by a member of the Scoresby whaling family and was for a time the pilotage where the pilots would wait for orders to bring vessels into the harbour.

I was firstly really impressed with the Magpie's menu. As a family of 4, we have one that loves all seafood, 2 that love proper fish and chips but nothing 'fancy' and one that hates all fish. The magpie catered for all (we looked at others where this was not the case). Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals and beautiful desserts. Wine was delicious as were the limoncello spritzes. Service was excellent even though the whole restaurant was full. Would 100% recommend and will definitely book again if we return to Whitby.

Worst battered fish I have eaten in a long while. Sent most of it back. They did knock it off the bill but when you’ve driven 3 hours to get there and paid money for a hotel to supposedly taste the best fish and chips it doesn’t make up for it. To top off the experience they had no oysters!

Nearly perfect except for the homemade cheesecake, which was basically jelly on a biscuit base
Of all the years we have been to Whitby it's the first time beautiful.

We were looking forward to our visit having read some great reviews about this place and we were not disappointed. The staff were all friendly , helpful and very efficient . And the meal? Best fish and chips ever, two of us had the haddock and one of us had cod.We were all totally satisfied with the standard of the food, fantastic batter and delicious fish. Cannot speak too highly of the experience .
