"We spent a couple of nights in our Motorhome at the campsite in Maryport, a few weeks ago. Came across this little cafe when we were out walking around the area. Had breakfast here both mornings ... good food, good service and good value for money. My husband had the trawlermen’s breakfast which set him up for the day. The bacon and eggs were cooked just as he likes them and he thoroughly enjoyed it. I had the vegetarian breakfast which was also lovely ... only very slight negative is that it said quorn sausages on the menu, however I was given the sausages that are filled with potato and veg .... a) i’m not a fan of them at all, and b) not really what I want with breakfast. That said, nothing wrong with how any of it was cooked, and really can’t complain about the cost. Service was good, staff were friendly, it’s dog friendly , very attractive selection of cakes etc on the counter I would have loved to try (a little later in the day) so, overall, very good. Would be happy to visit again if in the area."

We had heard the fish and chips were good but they were better than that! Served very quickly and were very tasty,

Had been the aquarium so decided to get something to eat. Good choice of food. Friendly staff. Good sized portions. Food was great. Sat outside with a lovely view of the harbour.

I had a delicious cheese and tomato toastie with chips at this restaurant. The chips were crunchy and there was plenty of them. I also ordered a large pot of tea to go along with my meal.

We went to this restaurant for lunch and sat at a lovely table by the window with a view of the harbor. We both ordered sandwiches. I requested no side salad, so they gave me some crisps instead, which was a nice touch. The food was delicious and reasonably priced.

Lovely little cafe, was busy when we arrived but were seated within 5 minutes. Excellent service and great price for the toasties and baguettes. Hot soup, coffee and cake also available. We noticed a good vegan selection of cakes. Service was quick and tables were cleaned and set in no time, would visit again!

We'd heard great things about this cafe so decided to give it a go. It is conveniently situated on the harbourside with big glass windows so you can admire the view. There are a number of choices on the menu and the prices are reasonable. Unfortunately every meal we'd ordered was overcooked. In hindsight we should have returned the sausage as it was almost cremated. The staff were friendly. I doubt we'll be back. View menu

Part of the Aquarium complex, the café, as it's name suggests, has great views of the harbour. The tide was out when we visited and the handful of fishing boats were sat on the mud. We enjoyed a nice cheese scone each but our Cappuccinos were thin and water and devoid of any substance. The chairs were like those in a school classroom. There is plenty to choose from but some of the prices appear to be a bit steep. Other than that, a pleasant place in a great position.

We stumbled upon a great restaurant today after a long walk along the coast and down to the harbor. We were pleasantly surprised to find it still open and serving. Thank you to Elaine and the other staff for their excellent service and assistance. We enjoyed delicious cake, coffee, and even treated ourselves to two ice creams to enjoy on our way back to the car. The experience was so delightful that we are planning to return to Maryport on the train tomorrow for another walk in the opposite direction, followed by lunch at The Harbourside. The prices were also very reasonable. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience.

"I would have loved to rate our dining experience at the Ivy House a lot higher but we were to leave somewhat disappointed. The dining area was pleasant and intimate with well appointed decor, the waitress and waiters pleasant, polite and attentive. The varied menu looked very appetising with most tastes catered for. We chose two courses from the main menu, the Duck Breast and a Fish Dish for myself. Contrary to other reviews we were to wait over 40 minutes before the food was presented to us. We were not advised of any delays or even the expected length of time we might have to wait. The food on arrival was well presented and flavoursome although I did not consider two small stem broccoli spears a serving. I also asked the waiter why there was no Samphire to accompany my dish as stated on the menu, this comment was also reinforced by a fellow diner who ate the same dish just prior to me. The waiter advised me that he would ask the chef. I did not receive a response to my question during further table service and subsequently asked the waiter again. On returning the waiter advised me the chef said “he will try to remember to put it on next time”, a somewhat disrespectful comment. The Cheese platter we were presented with was lacklustre and sparse, quince jelly and a small dish of chutney being the predominant feature. For ourselves we did not feel that our dining experience represented good value for money."
