Ditto Restaurant in Scarborough

Absolutely amazing. Great food (and wine) , fantastic staff, lovely atmosphere. Please, try it for yourselves. You will not be disappointed.

Not our first visit ( been using this place for the past 14 years ) love the place , very busy so book well in advance . Great services , great food and fab wines would recommend people book Dittos then your accommodation, thanks Ed & staff we will be back ❤️

The food was outstanding and the service equally good. Enjoyed it so much managed to get in the following night so we could try everything on the menu. Thank you so much you made our stay in Whitby first class. Will definitely visit you again.

Beautiful intimate little restaurant. Staff were brilliant, and the food was excellent. We will definitely be going back.

Ditto is a small cosy restaurant in Whitby and well worth a visit if your looking for good food and service. Two courses for £30 with bread dips and a sorbet inclusive. The only issue (not the restaurant fault) been this place is really small so you are relying on fellow diners to act like adults in a restaurant. Unfortunately we got stuck adjacent to two psd up Yorkshire couples.. enough said... tainted the night somewhat...but didn't spoil it altogether...luck of the draw.. sometimes you get the pond life.You may also need cash...the card machine had been broken for a week

Having walked past here hundreds of times over the last few years and saying we must try here sometime we finally booked and managed to get a table for 2 for last night at the 6pm sitting, we were away for the weekend without our dogs so it was a treat to go somewhere nice for our evening meal . We’ll Wow the 2 ladies that greeted us were so friendly and welcoming and helped my husband choose his meal as although the menu is small it all sounds so good I had the fish croquet starter and he had the chicken starter, then I had the cheese risotto in pastry and hubby had the duck and all the food was served hot and my lord “so delicious “, we had a pallet cleanser peach sorbet in between were served ice lemon water to along with our wine we had chosen, again excellent choice the small but quaint little restaurant had a lovely friendly ambiance to it. I nipped to lady’s before we left only to return to a glass of water rather than the wine I had left, apparently my husband had reached to try it and knocked the bloody whole glass over! Nearly drowned the poor guy behind us but he had just left lol, the lady’s took care of the disaster and by the time I got back it had all been cleared away apparently or had he just drunk my wine? Anyway the ladies had a great sense of humour, we paid the bill and we definitely will go again and recommend booking here , well done to the owner .chef and all the team.

Something special and a little different in Whitby. Our meal here was a fine ending to a very happy holiday.

We had an amazing meal here on our last night in Whitby. We had the cauliflower and duck starters and the pork and chicken mains. Meal is served with bread and dips on arrival and sorbet between courses. All so good, be sure to book early.

I have been wanting to go here for a while, so after it changed back to a restaurant this year I booked it quickly, and I'm so glad I did. We both had 2 courses for £30, my partner had the duck for starter and chicken for main, I had the pork for main and the burnt basque cheesecake. It was amazing, the food was so delicious, one of the best meals we have ever had. The atmosphere and ambience was lovely and peaceful, the 2 ladies serving us were absolutely lovely, friendly and professional. Hats off to the chef, amazinggivenba complimentary sorbet after the starter to clean the palate, And to top the evening off, they bought out some brownies with a candle for my birthday. Amazing night and will definitely eat there again.

Amazing, tasty food. The place is small, cosy and relaxed which makes the service very efficient and personal. Would highly recommend a visit .

I took my husband here as a very belated birthday gift and it was wonderful. The food is fresh and delicious. The service is perfect. The restaurant has a cosy ambience. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

This was our 2nd visit to this intimate small restaurant and it was a very pleasurable evening. Food is presented perfectly with excellent timing between courses by a really friendly lady. Very polite and helpful with a great knowledge on the dishes served. Food cooked perfectly and amazing taste. Ideal for couples wanting a romantic evening. The only gripe for me was the background music which was a bit weird for a small intimate restaurant. Highly recommended 👌

The best restaurant in Whitby. Excellent food and service. Can't wait to return in July.

We had a beautiful meal here on 17.05.24 absolutely gorgeous food brilliant service such a relaxed and friendly atmosphere 👌

We wanted to come here on our last visit to Whitby but it was fully booked so we booked well in advance this time! We had 2 courses for £30 and couldn’t fault anything. Highly recommend and will come back again!

Just had a fantastic meal at this lovely restaurant The food was outstanding, and so was the service If only we were living locally, this would be our place to go on a regular basis If you want a fantastic meal, Ditto is the place to go 👍

This is my favourite restaurant in the entire world. Every restaurant should be like this place. Maybe 5 starters and maybe 6 main courses. Small menu, cooked to perfection. If you're ever in whitby it's a must, but book well in advance as it's has small opening times. Trust me, you will thank me for this.

We had a lovely meal here for my wife’s birthday. Confit duck starter (followed by a sorbet) and chicken main, with a chocolate dessert we’re all excellent. The service was friendly, quick and efficient and we would return to this lovely restaurant and recommend to others 👏👏

I booked Ditto after reading the reviews from other customers. We were visiting Whitby for the first time since 2017. It’s a 5* restaurant in a lovely quiet part of town. Warm welcome, lovely professional front of house but with an informal feel. The food is to die for, everything is cooked, seasoned and presented to perfection without pretentiousness. I would advise booking in advance as there are only 8 tables, most for 2 people.

Fabulous little restaurant, superb servers who were extremely knowledgeable about both the food and drink, fantastic food

Fantastic quality food and wine definitely be returning next time in area best vegetarian options have tried for a long time

Fantastic meal and great value for money. It definitely lived up to the previous reviews I read. Only 4 choices for each course but a good selection nevertheless and all very tasty.

Went on 13 .03 24. The menu was two courses for £30 or three for £38 . We went for the Two courses. Started with dipping bread, then had duck followed by chicken breast. A fine dining experience. Would definitely visit again.

First time visit despite coming to Whitby a lot. Beautiful Valentine's night meal. Lovely food and good service that wad attentive without being intrusive. Shame we were too full after 2 courses to have desert. Smashing place and we will definitely be back.

Amazing meal, great atmosphere we just love it here! We were just so delighted you have reopened as an evening restaurant. My husbands favourite restaurant in the world! The ahhh’s as he ate his meal… priceless! Thank you for a wonderful meal and great service.

Lovely little bistro. A nice warm welcome and good service. Food was excellent especially the sea bream. So pleased to see this place open and we will definitely return. Maybe a little tidy up if the exterior might encourage more to visit but inside is clean and cosy

Had an excellent meal here whilst recently visiting Whitby. Restaurant is small & quaint place with friendly staff. We had a starter & main both really nice and generous portions , so much so we shared a pudding as both of us pretty full. Definitely recommend for something a bit more special for an evening meal.

What a find, service fantastic - atmosphere fantastic - food unbelievably fantastic. Excellent value for money and will definitely return when next in Whitby, the highlight of my weekend stay in Whitby.

Absolutely delicious food and excellent service, staff really polite and friendly. Overall great nights dining xx

Really good well set menu. We had an excellent meal with wonderful service.

We enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Ditto last year and were disappointed to learn it had closed. However relieved to find it open again just in time for our annual visit to Whitby. Although the food was still very good it was marginally not as good as last year. My chicken dish looked messy and was under seasoned, the portions large for me. Service was still very courteous and perhaps too efficient. Would have liked more time between courses, it all felt a bit rushed. However the food was still very good and we will be back next time in Whitby.

We have been to Ditto a few times now and we were so pleased to hear of the re-opening of the restaurant. Myself and my partner knew straight away we would order the duck after previous visits and the chicken for the main was also beautiful! I cannot fault this restaurant at all. The atmosphere is perfect for couples and the food is the best in town. As a local it is great to have this fine dining option. We will definitely be back as soon as we have our next date night planned. Thank you for a lovely meal :)

Absolutely scrumptious breakfast. Lovely service and excellent prices. The best bowl of Porridge in England, perhaps on the planet? Loved Ditto and all of Whitby, we'll be back for sure!

Superb! This cosy Bistro is world class, without a doubt one of the best meals I've had in Whitby or in fact many destinations. 2 or 3 courses on offer. Enough variety to suit most palates the menu was seasonal and felt super fresh. I course 2 courses, the Duck confit and the Belly of pork and both exceeded expectations, the other half has the Salt cod croquettes and chicken which he thourily enjoyed, a lovely reasonably priced white rioja finishing it off. The staff were warm and friendly without being intrusive, a credit! Definitely a place for a romantic meal or a cosy meal with friends. We hope to visit again soon.

The food was delicious, the flavours, textures and portions were perfect. I had the duck to start (run don't walk), the pork main (WOW) and the apple and treacle tart to finish. My partner and I both had the pork belly which was melt in the mouth good, the combination of flavours from the pumpkin, butternut squash and the sauce were heavenly. The service was exceptional, Olivia and Emily were friendly and checked in on us enough to know we were being looked after without intruding on our meal. It's a small restaurant (approx 7 tables), the atmosphere was the perfect blend of busy but not crowded, with compliments to the chef floating in the air. We'll definitely be booking in advance (you have to) the next time we come to Whitby.

Returned to Ditto after they re opened as a restaurant again. We always thoroughly enjoyed our previous visits to this restaurant and was apprehensive as to whether the standard would be as good. No worries there - it was excellent. Great 3 course menu at a reasonable price. Best place to eat in Whitby in my view - if your a food lover!

Nice atmosphere and really excellent service combined with tremendous food makes it a clear 5 star review. Dishes very creative and well presented with prices that were reasonable. Best meal by far on our trip to Whitby.

Back open as an evening restaurant and just as good as ever, just a great place to eat delicious food. We had all four starters between us, all superb. The chicken and pork belly mains were also beautifully put together dishes. With complimentary breads on arrival and palate cleanser sadly there wasn't room for pudding!

What a find. Lovely place lovely staff. The food was excellent and at a very good price. It’s a lovely small restaurant which I would defiantly return to when next visiting Whitby

Such a cosy restaurant with a fine dining feel. We opted for 3 courses to try as much as possible, and each dish was well considered and delicious. The confit duck starter is possibly the tastiest dish I've ever had, I can't wait to go back!

Just popped in for a coffee and a croissant on our way into town, and what a lovely welcome we had! Very friendly, attentive service and great coffee 🙂 Will definitely be back.

Fantastic cafe in Whitby which we found by accident. Lovely friendly service from Anna and colleagues. Terrific!!!!

This is a lovely place to visit for a coffee and snack. Brilliant, well worth a look

What a lovely coffee shop. It was empty when we arrived, but we decided to risk it and we're very pleased that we did. The lady front of house was very welcoming and helpful. The food was delicious. We had the 2 specials and fries. There are even very nice toilets there. I would highly recommend it.

What a fabulous place! We went in on a recommendation from a client! Beautiful surroundings. The proprietor was SO friendly and easy, we had a lovely conversation about Turkey and motorcycles. We had a coffee and two sausage and bacon ciabattas. Wow!!! The quality of the ingredients were superb! I think the ciabatta is home-made. It’s amazing. The best breakfast I’ve had in a very long time! Extremely well priced so leave a tip! The waitresses were VERY efficient and friendly! Ten out of ten! What a superb little place! Well done Ditto!

What a lovely, friendly cafe. Recommend a visit. Coffee is good too.

Such a lovely cafe, would highly recommend!!! The lady working this morning (Monday July 24th) couldn't have been more accommodating! We are so grateful that as a large group with 5 children she was able to get us all seated and all our orders taken swiftly, and she even offered the children some toys to play with. The food was delicious! The facilities were really good too and super clean, couldn't have asked for a better place to have breakfast ready for our trip home. A big thanks to the staff!!

This place is that good, I'm actually sat here in the cafe writing this review. Nothing too much trouble. Food and service is excellent.

Terrible we went and it was very bad and the manager was so rude and mean and they put 100 dollars more on the bill so bad restaurant

Great food, great service and good with kids.

We came for lunch for the first time after years of coming for dinner. We love Ditto so were gutted when they closed for a well-earned break. Now open for breakfast and lunch. I had the cod and cheddar croquettes, my partner had the ruben...

You could not wish for a warmer welcome or more delicious food. Absolute gem of a place.

Lovely little find, worth the walk up the hill, Small menu but really good food served beautifully by Anna. I had cauliflower soup which was delicious. The place is exceptionally clean and very friendly

All I can say is go. The food and service was amazing. The ciabatta was soft with a crispy crust, the bacon was was thick and crispy, with a flavourful meaty sausage. Describing it as a sausage and bacon sandwich really didn’t do it justice, homemade ciabatta, local sausage and bacon, toasted & cooked perfectly! Oh yes., the coffee is also good.

Comfortable clean and tasteful decor. Immediate welcome on my arrival. Breakfast is available all day (I love this) and my choice of bacon&sausage sandwich was fresh, hot and enormous. Very fair prices and a great pot of Yorkshire tea in a pot that actually pours....

Extremely good and friendly cafe. The pastrami sandwich superb, as was the homemade scone. And to cap it off DOGS ARE NOT ALLOWED in. Fantastic.

I’m so impressed by Anna’s service. Only she serves customers and she attends everyone very nicely and patiently. I like this place so much, strongly recommend coming over for lunch. Super friendly waitress Anna! 👍😇

We used to visit Ditto when they opened evenings, today was the first time we've been since it changed to a cafe, and we were just as impressed. Really friendly and welcoming and the food was lovely. The owner was also amazing with our little girl. Wish we lived closer! Would definitely recommend.

If I could rate this place more than 5 stars I would! Ditto is tiny but such a welcoming, comfortable place. The staff are amazing and the food is outstanding. Two things: I strongly recommend booking ahead, it’s so small that on a busy evening you are unlikely to get a walk in table, plus it’s so good word gets around 👍 We were there on a Saturday. Second: don’t be deceived by some of these photos, the portions are not small! We started with fresh bread, I had the three courses pictured plus a complimentary sorbet before my main. I was absolutely stuffed by the end and had to take a walk by the harbour. Finally, I don’t know much about wine, but according to my dinner partner if you are a connoisseur the selection here is excellent. Highly, highly recommended 👍👍

Excellent cafe, very tasty Pastrami, Blue Cheese and Tomato Chutney sandwich and Honey and Mustard Roast Ham and Mature Cheddar Cheese Toastie. Had to have 2 cups of coffee with proper crema top. Waitress very friendly and efficient. Would definitely come here again! Nice to...

Awesome food - really attentive service - nothing too much trouble - sandwiches were lovely - the cheese pull on the 3 cheese toastie best my son has ever had!!!

Truly a gem of a place! Happened upon this little place thanks to Trip Advisor and I’m so glad that I did. The food is excellent, the service was outstanding (plus point for the proprietor having her little girls helping in service!). I can honestly...

What a great little place. Lemon and white chocolate cake was amazing with great coffee. Customer service was both friendly and welcoming. Wish I had found it earlier in my holiday but I will be back.

A wonderful little place run by a adorable little family. I was reminded of a place I used to visit in liverpool that sadly closed down. Great food and brilliant service, especially the two little girls who are very helpful.

Apparently, until recently, Ditto was a full blown restaurant but as of now the owners are trying and scaled down version of their previous business. The location is Skinner Street which is a bit off the usual flow but not by much. The food offering...

At the time of visiting, the bistro was very quiet. The nice lady that served us was very attentive and helpful. The food service was quick and the toastie I had was very nice considering it was only a 3 cheese one. It must have had a small amount of pepper and seasoning, but it was very well made. The olive oil on the salad complemented the dish well too. I would definitely recommend this place for a lunch option and would come back again.

Outstanding food at a great price.

Amazing food especially for the price. We've been waiting to eat here for over 3 years and finally managed to get a booking on a quiet Wednesday night. I can't recommend the food here highly enough. Amazing chef and kitchen.

My favourite restaurant in Whitby. Would give them ten stars if possible

A little cool in the restaurant but food and service excellent and reasonably priced.

A lovely small restaurant on Skinner Street. The whole evening was delightful from the moment we arrived. The food, service and atmosphere was amazing and the two waitresses Shirley and Judith were brilliant. Would definitely recommend and we will definitely be returning.

Surprise meal for my 50th We were very lucky to get in as I believe it gets fully booked quite often. The staff were lovely, very attentive and the bistro has a great ambience. The food was amazing (we had the three courses ) and...

We were recommended Ditto, we managed to get a last minute table at 6pm. What a lovely place! Wonderful staff, wonderful service and wonderful food! Lots of it and very reasonably priced! A little gem!

Meal was OK but nothing to write home about. My fish croquettes were served with a bland sauce. My main was ox cheek which was served with a very watery sauce, I was expecting a sauce with deep flavour. Chicken main was also quite bland....

We've waited ages to get a table at this lovely bistro style restaurant. Had to cancel due to COVID, then last year couldn't get a booking. But it was worth waiting for, excellent three course dinner with wine could not fault anything. Prices very reasonable,...

We booked this at the last minute and managed to get the last table on the Friday evening, how lucky we were! It was as every bit good as promised and lived up to all the reviews. The service, the welcome and the food, absolutely...

Without shadow of a doubt,the best meal I have had out for years. The service was friendly and excellent. The portions were just right and the quality of the food was fantastic. I would recommend getting your booking in very, very early. I can see why this place books up quickly as it is a total gem.

Every morsel of tonight's meal was a sensation. Each element of the meal was fine tuned and cooked to perfection. 4 staters 4 mains 3 deserts. Simplicity itself and it works because of the attention to detail. It was worth waiting 5 years for 😁

Booked based on good reviews and was not disappointed. This is a small restaurant but from my first email to walking out of the door after eating I was really impressed. I have food allergies which can be a challenge, they really helped advise any...

We were given a warm welcome when we arrived, even though we were 15mins early for our table. We were served straight away with homemade bread, dips and water whilst we made our selection. We had 3 courses. The food was sublime! Top quality and...

You will need to book well in advance but it is definitely worth the wait. Food is amazing. We enjoyed all 3 courses. Staff friendly and helpful.

Gorgeous. Didn't want the meal to end.

We book ditto well in advance for all our special meals out. Ditto is our favourite restaurant. The food is exceptional and always amazes us. The chef/owner works his magic with excellent ingredients and combinations. Service is always very friendly and warm. This small restaurant...

Booked Ditto in advance as we were staying in Whitby for the weekend. A small menu but fantastic food, atmosphere and attentive staff. The chef is a Wizard and for the quality of the food/ wine, the prices are a complete bargain. You must try it!!!!

We made our first booking to The Ditto based solely on the reviews we read on Tripadvisor. We weren’t disappointed. From the moment we entered to our leaving the experience was amazing. And the food - wow! I’m gluten free and the chef went the...
