Whilst you are with us in Whitby, why not eat out, take a taxi somewhere, hire a bike or go to the post office!
EATING OUT
Please note, it's best to book as the restaurants soon get full, especially at the weekend.
MADEMOISELLES
Just opposite Highgate House, so not far to walk, this lovely, small, French Bistro does heart warming food and Sarah and her team look after you brilliantly. Their Gin's are fabulous too! - Mademoiselles Web Site Phone: 01947 602970
WHITE HORSE AND GRIFFIN
Over the bridge, second left up on the right. Seems like a very small pub but when you walk to the back you see a friendly and warm restaurant. Food is great. - White Horse and Griffin Web Site Phone: 01947 604857
ESTBECK HOUSE
For a more romantic, pricey meal we'd go to Estbeck House at Sandsend. (10 min taxi ride) - Estbek House Web Site Phone: 01947 893424
COSA NOSTRA
There's an Italian, Cosa Nostra (5 mins, over the bridge). We had a good meal there, good atmosphere – typical Italian - Cosa Nostra
Phone: 01947 602030
FOURS SEASONS
Mediterranean, plus take away, (4 mins, just over the bridge on the right). Four Seasons Web Site Phone: 01947 821035
DITTO
There's also Ditto - which is 100 yards away from us on Skinner St. It's a small, cosy, friendly little bistro though it gets very booked up so if you want to eat here book way in advance - Ditto Web Site Phone: 01947 601404
PIZZA WEST
Very new, had a lovely meal there recently. 5 Minutes walk, on West Cliff near the children's paddling pool. Pizza West Web Site Phone: 01947 604789
THE MOON & SIXPENCE
Great atmosphere, more of a bar but the food is great. Cocktails are lovely - they often have two for one happy hours so time it right and you're in for a treat. On the harbour,(5 min walk) - Moon and Sixpence Web Site Phone: 01947 604416
ABBEY WHARF
Over the bridge, left passed the shops. Great atmosphere, gets really lively at a weekend, good view (it overlooks the harbour) nice hearty food (doesn't serve until very late so go early). Lots of different beers! - Abbey Wharf Web Site Phone: 01947 600306
HUMBLE PIE N' MASH
Fantastic pie, mash and peas with lovely gravy. What's not to like!? We love this place. It gets busy and the ambience is quirky. They don't serve alcohol but you can get drinks from the pub across the road (we haven't bothered doing this, just a lovely old fashioned lemonade does the job), over the bridge, keep walking round the corner and it’s on your right. - Humble Pie Web Site Phone: 01947 606444
THE MARINE
We've eaten here a few times, always good quality food, down by the harbour on Pier Road - 5 mins walk - The Marine Hotel Web Site Phone: 01947 605022
MOUTREYS
Italian. Just over the bridge on the right, down Grape Lane. - Moutreys Web Site Phone: 01947 602751
THE STAR IN THE HARBOUR
Opened last year. Pretty nice overall. Nice spot for having a drink outside in the sun too. - Star Inn The Harbour Web Site Phone: 01947 821900
