Brambles Bistro in Scarborough

Exploring the town, we want a place to sit down for a sandwich and drink. This place suited the bill and seating was available inside. Nice selection of lunchtime offerings and the service was quick and pleasant

Really nice little bistro right in the heart of this small fishing village. We had a long walk and rolled up around 3pm and had some really nice local food. Waitresses were friendly and efficient. Would recommend to anyone in the area although I imagine its pretty rammed at peak food times !

A warm welcome and excellent service from the friendly staff at Brambles. 2 couples and we all chose Sirloin on the bone which was an excellent choice. Very tasty indeed! The mushroom sauce was lovely, we had one for the table and it was plenty for us all to have a dip and taster without detracting from the flavour of the steak. Made a special anniversary meal a very special experience and will definitely visit again next time we are visiting Robin Hood’s Bay.

What a wonderful restaurant in the heart of Robin Hood's Bay. We shared the calamari, the Chateaubriand and the creme brulee. The food was excellent, in particular, the steak, which was one of the best we have ever had. The staff were really friendly and helpful, and despite being very busy didn't seem flustered. We totally recommend this lovely little bistro.

Myself and my partner had a lovely evening meal here. Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. The restaurant is stylish and cozy. And the food was top quality.

Beautiful little gem of a Bistro in the lively dock of Robin Hoods Bay. Food is delicious, and locally sourced. We had a filet steak which was cooked to perfection and the lamb which was faultless. The staff were really friendly and efficient. A great experience all round. We will definitely be returning. Would highly recommend 😊

Quaint restaurant with outstanding food - chateaubriand was delicious and cooked to perfection. Our waitresses were lovely

Food was amazing well done chefs, great service from Hollie, Freya & Molly very happy serving staff. Thank you Brambles Team

Had a lovely meal at this lovely restaurant I had steak,my wife had lamb kofta Both meals were excellent The girls who work there are very friendly and seem to have fun working there Service was really good Would recommend 100%

It was a last minute decision to go to the Bistro & it did not disappoint. We hadn’t booked but they managed to fit us in. The atmosphere was warm and comfortable. The ladies who were servicing that night were lovely and very welcoming. They were very knowledgable about the menu. The food was fantastic. We had the nachos with shredded beef & it was the best I’ve had in a very long time. Main course I had the chicken breast with mash potatoes, the source was deep & tasty. We then shared the Crème Brûlée which was yummy! I would highly recommend. Next time I will make sure we book as they were having to turn people away due for how busy they got.

Top drawer chateaubriand and the onion loaf was awesome. Chianti was bang on! Hospitality warm and freindly. Highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing!! James and Fran clearly work around the clock, making everything run smoothly with beautiful food and service. The steak melts in your mouth, the brownie too! A must go to restaurant, thank goodness we've found them! Lacking steak like this in Whitby! 🥰🩷

James and Fran, pleasure to meet you as locals of the area to never hear of this place in the two years you have had it is a big miss. We can not wait to visit again. Top class service, food and value. Tourists do this restaurant a justice and order a steak if you want fish and chips have it at lunch. Steak is next level treat yourself. I’m sure the sea food is great but steak is what you need! Thanks Alex and Jade

A lovely place to eat, great food & atmosphere. It’s casual & relaxed and suits Robin Hoods Bay perfectly. The waitresses are young but very good & happy to chat and they add to the relaxed experience. Enjoy!

They managed to seat 10 on the fly - amazing and kept my 2year old nephew amused whilst we all ate the lovely lunch. Lovely freshly cooked food and waitresses that go the extra mile ❤️ just make sure you park up the hill before walking down - no parking down the hill as we found out the hard way 🤣🙈

Very friendly welcome, delicious food and beautiful atmosphere and decor. Very impressive menu too - so many things we wanted to try!

Amazing place. Superb service and the steaks are cooked to perfection! Lovely owners! Highly recommended.

Amazing place , the food , to hear my hubby saying that it’s the best burger he’s ever had says a lot. And by burger it’s not your local restaurant chain it’s so fresh the burger was steak and my forest chicken was delicious. Finished by the cheese cake, the wines are amazing and the ales . So good we have booked again for tomorrow. Lovely ambience and staff .

Bramble is such a gorgeous restaurant set in the small town of Robin Hoods bay. I brought my Mum here for dinner as she hadn’t visited before. I decided to try a berry mojito which I feel could be improved. There was no mint in this, which I find is what attracts me to a mojito and is a key ingredient. For my main, I chose the flat iron steak. I don’t believe I’ve ever had this served where it isn’t sliced up on the plate, but because it looked so delicious, I didn’t particularly mind. It was cooked beautifully and full of flavour. The fries were also cooked perfectly and the red wine sauce I added as an extra was divine. My Mum also highly rated the burger that she chose and the red wine to go with it. It was a really lovely visit and felt nice and cosy!

We choose the bistro from the trip advisors reviews and we’re not disappointed! From the moment we walked in it was obvious why people loved the place. So incredibly friendly welcome for us and the dog. Tasty steak sandwich and delicious scampi. Even the dog got a bowl! One happy Labrador getting her sausages. Wish we could head back for dinner. The steak menu looks marvellous.

Where do I start…we had been given a few recommendations from our holiday cottages hosts on where to dine for our first wedding anniversary and they did not disappoint. As soon as we had booked our meal the team were great. We were greeted at the door by Freya who was warm and inviting and made us feel like we were welcome and at home. The meal was brilliant with a fantastic choice of wine to make our night special. The steak was probably the best quality of meat I have ever eaten- I was a chef for 15 years so I kind of know what I’m talking about! What a brilliant bistro, our meal wasn’t rushed and we were allowed to have the table without feeling like we needed to give it to another customer like some restaurants. Decor is amazing and full of history everything was just so comfortable. What made it extra special was a coincidental music playlist of our 1st wedding song and others from our special day. Then finding out our hosts llop shared the song for their wedding also!!! Clearly the meal there was meant to be and so we have decided to visit every wedding anniversary from now on… Keep up the excellent work and you are definitely missing out if you visit Robin Hoods bay and don’t come to Brambles.

Fabulous little restaurant, very friendly staff and the best steak we've had in a long time. Would definitely visit again

We popped in last minute to see if they had a table spare and lucky for us they did. What a welcoming, friendly place which serves great food. Thank you we will definitely be back.

Me and my husband visited for dinner. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. The food was delicious. The place had a lovely atmosphere.

Warm welcome, quaint bistro in excellent location, lovely knowledgeable staff. Nice menu , good food, well presented at a reasonable price

Went there for breakfast this morning, what a little gem this place is. The Crab Benedict was one of the tastiest things I’ve ever eaten. My fiancé and I will definitely be coming back to try their evening menu at some point as that look...

Fabulous food. Fabulous service. Fabulous company. What more could you want? Oh yes Fabulous location. Highly recommend a visit

Lovely late brunch. The wife had the eggs benedict with crab, which was reportedly the best crab she'd ever had, and I had the full Yorkshire breakfast which was lovely but not as massive as hoped for having not eaten beforehand. Nice holiday treat.

We had a lovely evening meal at Brambles Bistro. Had a warm and friendly welcome and there was a dedicated gluten free menu, which always gives me confidence on ordering. Enjoyed amazing homemade nachos and then perfect gluten free batter on the haddock. Pudding was...

Excellent food, fantastic service in a wonderful little village. Would definitely recommend this restaurant for an evening meal treat.

A brilliant place. Freya and the team excelled. The food, wine, service and ambiance was exactly right. The steak cooked to perfection and nothing was too big an issue - most welcoming. Highly recommended and would return in a heartbeat - thank you

As a party of 6 we weren’t sure of how good this was going to be. However the food was excellent together with the service. Every member of the party has something different from the menu and each dish was so well cooked that no...

We had been let down by our first option just round the corner but found this little gem and pleased we did. Outstanding food, excellent service. Thankyou

We have enjoyed 2 evening meals at Brambles this week whilst staying in the bay. Absolutely fabulous food and service amazing and so friendly. We would highly recommend. Small restaurant with a cosy atmosphere.

Great food great service! These hosts have got what it takes to make a successful business 5 stars

We ate here several times for breakfast and dinner during recent stay in RHB and thoroughly enjoyed it every time! The staff are so friendly and helpful and the food is fresh and tasty, we especially love the t bone steak 😋 I have some...

What an amazing little bistro with super friendly staff and such tasty good food. We had a lovely table in the window and we’re greeted so warmly. We ordered a chicken and bacon burger and a house burger. Both came with tasty fries. The flavours...

An excellent find in Robin Hood’s Bay. The food and wine were great and the staff friendly - the service was faultless.

Birthday dinner treat which more than delivered! Chateau Briand & sirloin & flat iron steaks were perfectly cooked, succulent & flavoursome. The staff were really attentive, fun and helpful. On a very busy Saturday evening the atmosphere was vibrant and the place welcoming. Here’s to...

We popped in the evening before to ask when they opened, told 9 am, it did not open until 9.30am, We sat outside at first but black burning smoke from the kitchen exhaust made our eyes water so we moved inside. We ordered 2 eggs...

Called in for lunch, quite by chance, not read any reviews and not had a recommendation. The staff were very inviting and pleasant. Happy to see Whitby brewery beer on cask and very nice it was too. Had haddock and chips which was very nice...

Excellent food Excellent service Lovely little bistro definitely recommend you book as if you don’t you will have trouble getting a table as it’s always busy

Nice meal. Partner had steak which he said was very good. I had scampi and I was underwhelmed. Very small portion of scampi and everything seems to be served with chips with few options for vegetables. I had hummous to start with and that was...

Fabulous food and service in a brilliant location. The onion bread was delicious and didn’t really seem like bread! More like onion rings.

We went for breakfast, couldn’t fault it, friendly service. Food was delicious, 3 of us had the smaller breakfast, that I felt was ample. Delicious, locally sourced food. I felt reasonably priced.

Lovely, accommodating staff. Our meal was over priced for the actual food that we received. The side room we were seated in is too small to eat in comfortably and really should only accommodate two tables.

The breakfast here was delicious, good quality produce, friendly staff and a lovely setting. Definitely worthy of the ‘Best Breakfast of the week’

Really lovely place with a great atmosphere and welcoming staff. We were lucky enough to get a spot by the window: A great place for people watching. We ate lamb kofta, burger and chicken burger and they were all delicious. Our 20 year old daughter...

After a very long and arduous walk from Whitby my friend and I staggered down the hill for lunch at Brambles. From the outside it looks like just any old eating place. Inside was absolutely gorgeous and atmospheric. We were greeted by cheery staff and...

A lovely treat from our son and his partner. No celebration just a meal out and craic (chat!) awesome Chateaubriand cooked perfectly.

Food was lovely, starters and mains were really good. I had the fillet steak for main and it was cooked perfectly. Nice wine. Staff were lovely and an added bonus it was dog friendly. Would recommend and I would go back.

From walking in the place the staff were great,no rushing you,great food and perfect setting,would definitely recommend and hope to get back before Xmas

Lovely evening meal, our first visit and we’ll be back. Lovely staff, very friendly. Good choice of food. Veggie options available and dog friendly too!

Can't recommend this place highly enough. Superb food, friendly and attentive service, very reasonably priced for the quality of the food, all served in a relaxed and cosy setting. Will definitely return here.

Visited for lunch after walking around the bay. My son had the All day Breakfast, excellent quality ingredients used and he cleared his plate! My husband had the Haddock & chips, and I had the scampi. Both meals were tasty and enjoyable. We sat outside...

We booked a table before we came to robin hoods bay just to make sure we got in. Was shown to a table in the corner. A lovely place and the staff was so friendly. I had the chicken which was amazing and my husband...

We had a sharing steak for two and a bottle of Prosecco. Staff we lovely and friendly and just the right amount of chat with you. The steak was cooked to perfection and the red wine sauce was amazing. Absolutely lovely evening.

Lovely little bistro. Very friendly staff. Dog friendly. Great ambiance. Good for breakfast, brunch, lunch, tea/coffee, cake and alcohol. We had brunch and it was delicious. Served with a smile and very reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend.

Absolutely charming place to stop off and have a drink or something to eat. Owner and staff very friendly and welcoming. Dogs allowed so that was a bonus too. Food was amazing. We had the haddock and chips, and scampi and chips! We were not...

What a find! Fabulous food, a great choice of drinks and amazing staff - we just loved the vibe and we'll definitely be back - the beetroot falafels were worth the walk down the hill for sure!

Visited with 6 friends and we were seated in a lovely area of the restaurant. Very friendly, attentive staff and good service. Food was excellent and plentiful. Would definitely return.

Stopped here for lunch after a long walk. My husband ordered the pastrami deli sandwich and I ordered the crab sandwich. Both where superb!! However, the crab sandwich could have been one of the tastiest things I’ve ever eaten in my life!! I was sad...

As RHB fans we’ve eaten, and drank at all of the available offerings. The brambles offers quality food and drink at a reasonable price point. The chateaubriand was excellent, supported with the great steak sauces. The FOH team are great. Attentive but not intrusive. See...

We had the Forest Chicken followed by a superb sweet. The proprieter Freya was delightful. It was so good we booked again for tomorrow - everything is wonderful in this restaurant.

A great place for lunch whilst enjoying the ambience of Robin Hood's Bay. We both had paninis which were nicely presented and very tasty.

Without doubt, the finest place to eat in Robin Hoods Bay and probably Yorkshire's East Coast! Superb steak, fabulous wine selection, local Whitby Brewery beer. Breakfast is excellent too! The staff are so friendly they made us feel like part of the family. Thanks James...

My husband and I visited Robin hoods bay and looking for a place to eat lunch decided to try the bistro as they had a few vegan options. The bistro is inviting with friendly welcoming staff. The food was superb which we thoroughly enjoyed. The...

First visit here for food - Wouldn’t rush back Tables very close together Felt like we were sat far too close to other people - Both ordered steak mine was a sirloin which was very fatty - not the best steak I’ve had in fact...

We arrived on time for a pre-booked table, we were welcomed and told “your table is ready”, we were led to a table that was neither prepared or set, in fact the table was dirty. Waiting staff were initially attentive and polite and took our...

Cosy bistro in the heart of RHB. Booked twice in advance for our long weekend. Nice friendly staff and good service. Food was nice enough but nothing spectacular. Understandable to have a relatively limited menu- mainly steak, burgers, fish or scampi and a few other...

We had a booking on 7th may , great location , staff were very friendly, food amazing , calamari was hot and tasty , we had chateau brion and was the best we have ever had , sauces were fab as well , all In...

Quirky little bistro - I’d recommend booking because it was busy. Small but good menu. Enjoyed it.

Very good bistro, in the heart of the bay. Good food & great service. Highly recommend. Would have revisited next day if they’d been open!

Oh my day’s, where to begin!! Amazing food. We had the house speciality Chateaubriand , staff as always, above and beyond , lovely atmosphere. Just a special little place. Thank you.

Good menu and friendly staff. Was packed when we walked in but it didn't take long to get a table. Woukd recommend this over a pub.

So glad we book to go here while staying in Robins hood bay. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. We ordered the Camembert cheese for a starter and the flat iron steak for a main . We were all really impressed with the quality...

This bistro is run by a young couple who have chosen a lifestyle away from the rat race. They know exactly what they’re doing and have created a family friendly restaurant catering from breakfast until evening 5 days a week. The menu is sensibly simple...

What a fabulous little find in Robin Hoods Bay. Food & service were excellent. We had the Chateaubriand & it was amazing. They are dog friendly which was a bonus for us.

Enjoyable meal, wish I’d had a steak as they looked lovely. Must mention the really friendly waitress , it’s lovely to see that good customer service skills still exist

Fabulous food, service and atmosphere. We had the chateaubriand which, although not cheap, was worth every penny!

Popped in on the way to Whitby. Very friendly attentive staff. Had the most delicious breakfast I’ve ever tasted. I can highly recommend the fresh Whitby crab eggs Benedict. A little change from smoked salmon. The portions are very generous and reasonably priced. A nice...

Been tonight and we had a lovely time. We both are vegans and there were a few vegan options and the 2 we chose were beautiful (plant based burger and Kofta). The lady who served us was very friendly and answered any questions we had...

A lovely bistro down by the sea. Very friendly staff created a great atmosphere. We had an evening meal on the Saturday night (my burger was delicious) and popped back in for a few drinks on the Sunday afternoon.

We had an amazing meal here, me and my sister came to visit my mum and her partner for a couple of days whilst they were staying in Robin Hood's Bay. It was just what we needed after the journey! We had Camembert and Calamari...
