The Moon & Sixpence

Staff were lovely, it was a nice spot. The cocktails were okay - not much to the mojitos. For a cocktail bar expected a bit more. The food was good - but for the price it was a bit on the high side. However everywhere around the area the prices were high, but I understand that’s just the current economy. Would come again, but would not drink.

Both the cocktail mocktail and the food are of very high quality. It is a bar and restaurant with no seating. As long as there is a table, you can sit down freely. In terms of food, a special recommendation is the octopus seafood with slow-cooked pork. The pork is full of fragrance and has a very good texture. The octopus is cooked to perfection and very spicy. All the alcoholic drinks are very good in terms of taste and taste. It is suitable for everyone to come here to chat with friends and enjoy a wonderful afternoon.

Sat outside and enjoyed a lovely mocktail. Spotted this place on our trip last year but it was always so busy which was a good sign. We managed to get a table outside one evening to enjoy a drink. I had the French martini mocktail which was lovely. My partner had the spicy watermelon margarita which well…wow! Look at the photo of it. Friendly staff.

Had a wonderful time celebrating a wedding. The staff were so lovely and couldn’t do enough for us. They even asked if we had a preference for the music they were playing. The food was delicious, everyone had a lovely meal and a free shot for the grooms was very kind. We will certainly come back! You made our day very special.

Lovely place to watch the world go by. Plenty of choice of spirits and cocktails and a really good pint of Guinness too. We will be back on our next visit to Whitby

Very impressed with the food, modern cuisine, cooked very well, we had 4 different dishes and all excellent. Loveliest meal we've had for a while. Great spot right by the water too.

Great little pub. Loads of cocktail options with classic cocktails and ones with a twist. A great selection of mocktails too. The staff are always friendly and happy to see you. Great view of the Abby whilst sat outside and in one of the quieter places of Whitby so there's not loads of foot traffic going past.

We managed to book a table for our group of 8 and really enjoyed it. There are plenty of seats in the front with a direct view of the sea and harbour and also a lovely big dining area upstairs. The restaurant is located perfectly on the busy promenade where it's very central but not too loud. The service was great and the food well made and tasty. Everybody had a good time!

Superb place. Great food and a fabulous atmoshere! The burger was outstanding and there was a good selection of wines. It probably helped with the ambiance for me that my ancestors lived in this building in the 1890s!

What a great little find. Located right in the harbour we were lucky that the evening was warm and we moseyed up at the right time to catch a table - as later many had their drinks stood on the pavement it got so busy! We treated ourselves (we were on our hols so why not) to some oysters with our drinks. Everything was beautifully presented, but not in an in your face I'm so fancy way, just classy and laid back. The waiter was super friendly and chilled out. I'd be back to Whitby, and the moon and sixpence, in a heartbeat.

This place was recommended to us, so we decided to give it a try. We were very pleasantly surprised! The restaurant that was in this location previously was dire, so it was fab to have a new place to have a nice meal when visited Whitby! The restaurant has 2 levels and we were seated on the lower level with a view of the harborside. It was also a story night so seeing lightning flashing over the Abbey was an unexpected bonus! The menu changes daily, and a lot of the ingredients are locally sourced and all is very fresh and beautifully cooked. Some have unexpected combinations, but work well and the plates arrive looking so pretty, you will want to take photos! We have had dinner here a few times and have not had one bad thing. The bar has a large range of tipples and a few unique cocktail concoctions. They are open for lunch and dinner, and food is reasonably priced. Lunch options range between £5 and £10 whilst dinner options range between £10 and £20. Frankley, the quality and tastiness are well worth the price paid for a meal here. Highly recommended!

Nice casual setting with wonderfully prepared food. Started off with salmon, haddock and coriander fish cakes which were fresh tasting, and perfectly seasoned. Risotto and smoked haddock was delicious as was the beer battered cod and chips. Great wine selection with a large (225ml) glass available. No room for desserts though. Excellent prompt and charming service as well.

The Moon and Sixpence is a charming little restaurant located right on Whitby's seafront. We didn't book ahead and they were completely full when we turned up, but the staff were really friendly and told us to return in two hours - we nearly went to find somewhere else as we were already hungry, but it looked so nice we decided to wait, and were really glad we did. The inside of the restaurant is lovely, very romantic with candles on every table and even a grand piano!the food was even better - there was a lot of fresh seafood on the menu but I went for chicken in bacon with mozzeralla, which was gorgeous and my boyfriend had duck a l'orange,which he really enjoyed and said was a good introduction to duck as he'd never eaten it before. The service was very slow, but it probably seemed longer than it really was because we were so hungry! I'd definitely recommend this if you go to Whitby - great for couples or for groups!

Second visit-friendly staff and nice fresh food-breakfast a little different and tasteful. Free Wifi too.

The Moon and Sixpence is a great place to chill out during the day or to go for a sophisticated evening drink. It is lovely to sit outside in the summer (though as its on a main thoroughfare for tourists is can get a bit crowded) and during the evening the bar area has a lively buzz. The staff are friendly and make wonderful cocktails. I've been for a drink quite a few times as this is one of the few bars in Whitby (as opposed to pubs) but I've only eaten there a couple of times. The food was nice, lots of local fish. The restaurant was much calmer than the bar area even though it was full. This is probably the nicest place in Whitby to go for a drink and it is definitely high up on the meal side too.
