We were looking for a lunch venue on a day trip to Scarborough, we spotted this one in the morning and decided to give it try, it was a great decision. Located on the fish quay we had high hopes of good seafood and we were not disappointed. The seafood chowder is heavenly, if you are not very hungry it’s is all you will need. Picking a second dish was a challenge, the crab and lobster were tempting but I opted for the Scampi and it was excellent (will return for the lobster). Eating fish whilst watching the boats unload their catch, with the magnificent castle as a back drop, and welcoming friendly staff I highly recommend this restaurant.

I visited this little cafe this morning with my friend and our little girls. We hadn't booked but we were lucky enough to get a table.Very friendly staff, beautiful views, yummy cakes and very clean.We ordered 3 slices of cake (they were large slices and very nice), 2 flavoured lattes and 2 blackcurrant drinks and the bill came to £18.The breakfasts looked really good so will definitely be going back!Only negative (I don't want to give a negative but its only fair if I'm reviewing) was no baby changing, but I will say they have a large toilet so you could take a pram in there to do it, also we had to carry the push chair up stairs to get in so maybe not accessible to some but there's not much that can be done about that as it's part of a larger old building.Overall a very pleasant visit and will definitely be returning!

The weather was sunny so we were able to enjoy lunch on the balcony. You can see all the activity in the harbour. I had a dressed crab and my husband had a crab sandwich. Both lovely. Efficient service.

Worth walking past the old lobster pots and nets along the quayside to get to this gem! The cafe is lovely and has a great view over the harbour. It was very popular and now we know why! Dressed crab and prawn salad and the seafood chowder were delicious and we've already planned our next lunch there later in the week...

You can see both bays - that’s a plus, see the working harbour, a further plus; and look inland to St Mary’s church and the castle. All three front of house staff were delightful, attentive and particularly patient with one idiot who ordered a coffee and then ignored repeated polite calls to identify himself. In the end the staff asked everyone in the place until they found him (He had moved table which is what threw them). The English breakfasts were good quality ingredients - that’s probably only true in 50% of places serving breakfast, with often the sausages and the bacon being economy versions. Black pudding served - again too many places don’t. Generous portions and toast served with the meal not hours before it. Huge glass of apple / fruit juice or decent mugs of tea / coffee and bread with butter and the bread cut reasonably thick. It’s small, more than four in a group need to use more than one table or move chairs, but well worth a visit. Nearby parking and near old town, the north bay and not too far from the cricket ground.

What a find the Harbour View Cafe is!!! My wife & I visited today & we both wish we found this place years ago! After years of visiting Scarborough we both had never heard or seen The Harbour View Cafe until a friend recommended it to us & from now on we won’t be eating fish & chips anywhere else on future visits to Scarborough. I have a fish butty just expecting a small piece of fish in a sandwich! Nope!!! A WHOLE FISH in a bun!!! & I was cooked to perfection!!! I have included a photo with the fish butty next to my e-cigarette as a comparison. Can’t wait to visit again!!!

Wow what a find! we wanted somewhere to sit down inside and enjoy fish and chips and couldn’t decide which of the many fish and chip restaurants on Scarborough front to visit. Having visited the world famous Magpie of Whitby the week before we knew it would be hard to find somewhere that could compare, however we found somewhere better! Yes better! The fish are so fresh, huge and cooked to perfection, crispy golden batter on the outside and moist, flakey and succulent on the inside. We ordered 2X fish, chips, homemade mushy peas and bread and butter which was £16 for both. Our kids had the kids fish and chips which was a normal size fish and chips at most chip shops. The cafe also sells breakfasts which looked amazing but we haven’t tried those yet. The cafe is small/medium sized and a traditional English style cafe which overlooks the harbour and even has a couple of small tables on the veranda outside. We would never visit any other chip shop now we’ve found this place. Oh and they staff were very nice and smiley and made our family feel very welcome. I could not fault the place at all. Awesome food!

One of our favorite things to do when traveling is seek out small, one of a kind joints on piers, wharfs, harbors, etc. and the Harbor View Cafe is a real find. Out for a morning walk along the beach in Scarborough we came upon the cafe almost by accident as it's located on the 2nd floor of the wharf building with commercial fishing and other marine businesses below. Upon entering the cafe we were greeted by a very friendly staff, a menu with plenty of breakfast items to choose from, good coffee and a great view. The cafe is small but very comfortable and outside seating overlooking the harbor is available. Our breakfast of eggs, bacon, tomatoes, toast and coffee could not have been better! Had we stayed in Scarborough longer we would certainly have gone back for lunch as well. Not fancy, but this is where the locals go too so don't miss it.

As my wench and I started to walk into the café which was half full of Robert Shaw types drinking AND eating, we were approached by the young seadog behind the counter (at 20 knots) and told that they were not serving any food and drinks as the chef was ill, and proceeded to shut the door even before my wife could wedge her wooden leg in it. I had forgotten my Sou'wester and best wool pants which could have gotten us a fish finger sandwich and a tale of how someone lost their virginity to a bit of frozen haddock. Royston Vasey is alive and well in Scarborough seafront. We settled for cod canapés and potato fingers in another establishment.

We had standard fish and chips, peas bread and butter and asked for a plate and cutlery so she could share some of ours. All provided with a smile. THESE fish and chips are the freshest we’ve ever tasted. Fish being carried up stairs and cooked. Everything is cooked to order which takes around 10 mins but well worth the wait. We shall be definitely be visiting this place again.

Excellent "made to order" fish and chips. Fast, friendly service. We sat at table on cafe balcony, overlooking the harbour. Beautiful views of seafront, castle and old town. Fascinating watching the boats coming and going.

First visit to the Harbour Cafe for lunch. Great choice - freshly cooked to food to order. Excellent value for money and more importantly the food was absolutely delicious and we will not only go back for lunch but try a breakfast too. The cafe is immaculate and the staff are very welcoming and friendly. Not to be missed and well worth a visit,

Don't bother with the belly buster unless you can rival a pig in the eating stakes. We had standard breakfasts and they were plenty indeed. Very enjoyable, lovely service too...

+ Easy to find. Not a wide variety of food offered, but their fish and chips were quite good. Pleasant service as well. Nice view over the harbor.

Visited a while ago but this place certainly knows how to make the lightest, tastiest batter! Cant beat Whitby and Scarborough for golden chips and the freshest cod with pot of tea and bread and butter...utter bliss!

I visited here with a friend after reading the other excellent reviews on TA and we were not disappointed. It was £16 for 2 fish & chip meals and they were the best I’d had in a long time. Lovely and fresh, with delicious crispy batter on the fish and nice chunky chips. The portions were huge, but we managed the lot because they were so tasty. I’m still feeling full several hours later, so they were certainly excellent value for money! The place was also clean and the staff were super friendly. We won’t hesitate to return when we’re next in Scarborough.

Lovely crispy batter and very thick flaky fish. Good mushy peas even I don't usually like peas. I've had a few other fish and chips in Scarborough but no where you can find such fresh and succulent fish. Reasonable price given they're right on the harbour (8.50 for 1 or 16 for 2 the day I was there).

Visited the Harbour Cafe whilst spending the day in Scarborough. My partner & me went in for the fish & chip lunch as advertised outside. Two meals for £16. The staff were very friendly and chatty, making you feel welcome. The meal was nicely presented, fresh and piping hot. The batter on the fish was light and tasty, the nicest I've experienced.

This cafe provided us with the best fish and chips we can remember eating. The fish was delicious with a light batter and there is a great view over the harbour. Certainly a cafe to visit.

3 of us called last night for dinner, and all had the cod, which was delicious a good sized portion of very thick white flakey fish, absolutely no issue with the food, the staff were lovely but the spoiler was the price of the drinks £6.70 for a pint of John Smith ! £4.29 for a 330 ml bottle of 0% larger and a bottle of coke £3.25 . You are seriously having a laugh. I expect to pay a little more than bar prices but that is ridiculous. If we had gone to Trencher which was our other choice for the evening the beer would have been £2 pint cheaper and the alcohol free larger £1 .29 cheaper . Unfortunately we won’t return Trenchers next time .
