where history and modern elegance meet
Culinary Artistry
301 Rowe is Whitby’s new landmark French restaurant and speakeasy. We have beautifully restored the 1856 James Rowe House on the waterfront and reimagined it as a warm gathering place for the whole community. Inside, you will find a full-service bistro, an artisanal boulangerie, and an intimate hidden speakeasy below.
Every space honours Whitby’s heritage. Moreover, every detail, from our refined fine-dining rooms to the handcrafted cocktails downstairs, has been designed to create unforgettable experiences for years to come.
Whether you join us for morning coffee, a celebratory dinner, or late-night cocktails, 301 Rowe offers something timeless. In addition to honouring the town’s past, we are actively shaping its future.
