Halal Restaurants

The Isle of Man prides itself on the quality and variety of its locally produced food – from freshly caught seafood, to succulent od Meat and specially brewed soft drinks and spirits.

A visit to the island really is the perfect opportunity to see what the local producers, farmers and fishermen do best.

If you’re a fan of seafood try traditional Manx Kippers which are herring fillets that have been smoked over hot oak chips, or Manx Queen Scallops - Queenies as they are more commonly known - which are sustainably sourced from Manx waters.

If you prefer od Meat you’ll find a large selection to choose from including the rich and tasty Loaghtan Lamb - which comes from an unusual horned sheep which is believed to have been brought to the island by the Vikings.

And for those visitors with a sweet tooth, make sure you don’t miss out on creamy Manx ice cream, handmade confectionary and traditional cakes including the Manx Bonnag. One favorite, of tourists and residents alike, is Davison's Ice Cream on Douglas Promenade.

You’ll be able to sample this produce at the regular farmers’ markets, supermarkets and a variety of cafes, pubs and restaurants around the island.

Food in the Isle of Man is more expensive than in the UK. Expect to pay upwards of £30 per head for a meal in a restaurant.
