Brambles Bistro

Brambles Bistro occupies a former bakery at the bottom of the hill in Robin Hood's Bay, steps from the slipway where the beck meets the sea. The family-run kitchen grills steaks to order and brings fish in fresh from Whitby market most mornings, while bread and pastries come from bakeries along the coast rather than a central supplier. A family member's coeliac disease shapes the menu, so gluten-free options run through breakfast, lunch and dinner rather than sitting apart on a separate card. The room is small, the tables close together, and the view through the front window takes in the dock where day boats still land their catch. It serves brunch through to dinner, seven days a week in season.
