Magpie Cafe

The Magpie Café could be described as the seafood lover's ultimate paradise, overlooking the waters of the cold North Sea, set between the fish market and the harbour. Some concessions are made to the carnivores who can't let up even for one meal, otherwise it's traditional fish and chips like you've never tasted before.

Lobster thermidor, Whitby kippers with brown bread and a pot of Yorkshire tea - and so on. Yes, there are some puddings too and the wine list is brief but good value and sensible.

The Restaurant has been located in the beautiful ancient fishing port of Whitby since 1937 in a building dating from 1750. Whitby itself is steeped in a wealth of tradition and seafaring history; the enchanting port and surrounding area has provided the local community, whose people have braved the harsh seas, with a dedicated supply of the freshest and finest fish.

Whitby's unique maze of narrow streets, alleyways and ruins has been an inspiration to many generations; St. Mary's cliff top churchyard for instance, inspired Bram Stoker to write his world famous book, Dracula. More information, including menus and the wine list, can be obtained from their Website.
