Foreword Welcome to the 2014-15 Taste Isle of Man directory of accredited food and drink venues located across the length and breadth of the Isle of Man.
We believe the food and drink on the Isle of Man to be of the finest quality. Taste, a quality assurance scheme, supported by the Department of Economic Development promotes the continuous quality of eating out on the Island.
and it is important to thank all those within the hospitality industry for their continued support of this scheme. The Harvest accolade has also grown this year with 11 members awarded this award for their use of local produce.
The commitment to quality and service from so many establishments is clear, eating out in the Isle of Man has never been better. When members join, they confirm their commitment to providing a quality dining experience
This directory is your unique free guide to discovering the wonderful and diverse choice of quality assured dining experiences on offer. David Cretney, MHK

Introduction What is Taste Isle of Man? Taste Isle of Man is an independently assessed quality assurance scheme which recognises establishments providing consistently high quality dining. The Taste initiative is part of a national quality assessment scheme benchmarked throughout the British Isles. As such, participating venues are assessed on the full dining experience offered to you, the customer. While the emphasis is firmly on the quality of food, the assessors also look out for warmth
03
of welcome, service and hospitality, cleanliness and a commitment to the use of local produce. The scheme incorporates many different styles of dining experience from hotel restaurants to international cuisine, café culture and family favourites, exhibiting the wide range of eating out opportunities across the Island. This directory features all Taste Isle of Man accredited establishments and has been designed to help you
make an informed choice about where to eat and drink during your visit. The directory maps the location of every venue and geographical sections make your choice even easier – whether you’re in the North, South, East or West of the Island, we hope you enjoy discovering your ‘Taste’ of the Isle of Man.
Awards & Symbols What to look out for. Through Taste Isle of Man, eateries are awarded ‘quality assured’ or ‘highest quality assured’ accolades in recognition of the first-rate dining experiences that they offer visitors. Taste establishments are easily identifiable with the accolades proudly displayed outside the premises. Taste Isle of Man ensures that you will receive a warm Manx welcome, great service and quality food with an unmistakable emphasis on local produce.

Harvest Isle of Man Look out for the special plaques which identify members of the Harvest Isle of Man scheme.
Establishments displaying this will be accredited members of the Taste Isle of Man quality assurance scheme and will also have requested to be assessed against new Harvest Isle of Man criteria established in 2014, because the use of local produce is a valued part of their ethos. So you can expect great service, food, drink and surroundings with fresh local products. The criteria validate the use of produce which has been grown, caught, reared, brewed or processed
05
in the Isle of Man and they check that staff can explain the use of local produce to customers. So if you share a passion for the local provenance of your food, Harvest accredited eateries are well worth a visit. More information on the Harvest Isle of Man scheme can be found in the Isle of Man Guide to Food and Drink, along with full details of local food and drink producers.

After being involved with other restaurants on the Island, Portofino is simply the realisation of his dream.
The menu is comprised of the freshest meats, fish, seafood and products that the island has to offer, which is prepared and serviced with an Italian flair. Portofino welcomes guests for lunch or dinner, when they can choose from a set menu or à la carte. Buon appetito!
Tanroagan Seafood Restaurant 9 Ridgeway Street, Douglas, IM1 1EW Map reference 10, page 21
+44 (0)1624 612355 Being a seafood restaurant means we are focused on the product – we buy as much Manx produce, fish and seafood as we can through our network of island suppliers. Scallops, queenies, monk, Dublin bay prawns, ling, rock, hake, soles and more from Maklins in Peel. Deveraux kippers and fish from their own boat, and pollock, lobsters and crab from small independent fishermen. Head chef Richard Birch prepares this amazing seasonal harvest each day and cooks it simply to bring out the flavour and
freshness of the fish. Book the chef’s table and watch them at work. Homemade bread, soups and sauces, handcrafted desserts with our own ice creams, with non-fishy starters and meaty options, a decent wine list and with friendly, professional service this makes Tanroagan the dining experience in the Isle of Man. At Tanroagan, we are passionate about food, and living and working on the island.
