Harbour Lights at the Sefton – Douglas
The interior in this place is 👌ðŸ¾. From boozy, bottomless brunch to a family roast, these guys have it covered.
The Fishery Restaurant – Port St Mary
That neon sign tho. Not only is this place in a beautiful spot in Port St Mary the food, service and decor are 10/10.
Roots By The Sea – Peel
These guys are the new kids on the block (or prom) in Peel. Offering coffee, bagels, ice cream and honey!
Gelatory – Ramsey
Our beloved, Manx gelato from up North. They stock Ross Bakery goodies and this month, you can buy pride macaroons made by The Cook Shack! A hub for all things local up north.
The Secret Pizza Co. – Castletown
Pizza that tastes even better than it looks – and it looks unreal!
A beaut pic of their takeout pizza being enjoyed in Port Erin during lockdown.
Side note: if you are in Port Erin, La Gusto is 🔥
The Sound Cafe – The Sound (obvs)
That view is like something off a sci-fi movie, no? The pics might not be great if Manannan’s got his cloak on but still, this is a great little spot for a day out down south.
Tea evolution – Douglas
When talking instagramable hotspots, this one take the biscuit (or tapioca pearls) because Tea Evolution has… a flower wall. Yes, the perfect aesthetic backdrop for any beverage shot. It’s the latest edition to Dougy high street and people are love’n it! Queues out the door since 12pm apparently, but it goes down quick.
Close Leece Farm – Patrick
How freaking cute is this place please? An authentic, local farm shop in Patrick with a cafe too. If you’re looking for proper #MANX produce, this is the place.
Time Out – Castletown
The best noodz in C town. Fact
Dreambird – Douglas
They weren’t open long before the Rona hit, so if you’re looking for somewhere NEW now we’re allowed out again, this is the place to go! Cocktails, burgers and a beaut setting, what more could you want?
Cycle 360 – IOM Business Park
The photos say it all – breakfasts, coffee, healthy foods and they also serve wine!
Conrods – Ramsey
Conor Cummins, The Manx Missile who’s bringing a new lease of life to Ramsey. Starting off with his coffee shop on Parliament Street (omg their cheese on toast tho) and now expanding to a pizzeria in Mooragh Park!
There’s not many coffee shops on the Island that can say they’ve had Carl Cox DJ!
Noa Bakehouse – Douglas
The coffee art, the freshly baked goods and their location on North Quay makes Noa’s a weekend classic (and week day classic, in fact they’re an all-rounder). Interested in the success story of Noas? You can read all about it here.
Hopefully this has given you some inspo on where you can go eat, drink, snap and spend local now we’re opening back up. If you think there’s anywhere insta worthy that we missed, be sure to tag us in your pics! We’re always looking for new places to check out.
Happy weekend!
