A Taste of Excellence: Thomas Carr at The Coast.

People have long loved Scarborough for its stunning coastline, Victorian charm, and fresh seafood. But now, there’s a new culinary destination that’s putting a modern fine-dining spin on our town’s coastal heritage— A Taste of Excellence: Thomas Carr at The Coast, recently opened on Hoxton Road.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable food experience during your stay in Scarborough, this elegant new restaurant is an absolute must-visit. With a Michelin-star pedigree and a refined yet relaxed setting, Thomas Carr brings something truly special to the Yorkshire Coast.

A Michelin-Starred Chef on the Yorkshire Coast

Chef Thomas Carr is no stranger to accolades. Having earned a Michelin star at his previous restaurant, he has now brought his exceptional culinary talent to Scarborough, creating a dining experience that effortlessly balances flavour, finesse, and local charm.

His ethos is simple: let quality ingredients shine. The moment the first dish arrives, it’s clear that this food is thoughtfully, precisely, and lovingly created.

An Elegant, Coastal Setting

Tucked away on quiet Hoxton Road, the restaurant offers a calm and intimate atmosphere that’s perfect for a long, leisurely lunch or an indulgent evening meal. The restaurant’s interiors reflect the coastal surroundings—smart, modern, and welcoming without ever feeling pretentious.

Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply treating yourself while away, Thomas Carr at The Coast is the place where every detail feels just right.

A Menu That Celebrates the Sea

The coast inspired the menu, focusing strongly on seafood, expect beautifully presented dishes that celebrate the freshest local catches, alongside seasonal ingredients and thoughtful flavour pairings.

On a recent visit, we enjoyed dishes as beautiful as they were delicious. Think melt-in-the-mouth halibut served with delicately pickled vegetables and a rich shellfish bisque, or hand-dived scallops paired with subtle citrus accents. Each plate is an artwork in its own right.

Expertly selected wine pairings are also available, adding another layer to the experience and complementing the food beautifully. And while seafood is the star, there are always delicious options for meat lovers and vegetarians too.

Perfect for Lunch or a Memorable Evening

Thomas Carr at The Coast offers both lunchtime and evening services, and the standard of food is every bit as high at both sittings. The lunch menu offers a chance to try select dishes at a more casual pace, while the evening tasting menu is a full celebration of everything this kitchen offers.
