There's real coffee at the
Spill the Beans Coffee House
, 1 Market Hill (closed Sun), while
Greens
, in the ticket office at the steam railway station, serves vegetarian specials. TV chef and local lad Kevin Woodford has the island's highest culinary profile and runs a couple of
restaurants
in Douglas: the expensive
Waterfront
, at the top of North Quay (tel 01624/673222), and the moderate
Blazers
next door (same phone number). Further down the quayside,
Tanroagan
(tel 01624/472411; eve only) is the trendy choice for fish.
La Posada
, in the basement of the
Admiral House Hotel
on Loch Promenade (tel 01624/629551), is an authentic Spanish restaurant, whose dishes include a rich paella. Locals also like
Paparazzi
, 26 Loch Promenade, a large pizzeria-trattoria.
Manx-brewed beer is on sale at most
pubs
and brews such as "Old Bushy Tail" soon revive flagging spirits. Try it and others at the cosy
Rovers Return
, on Church Street, around the corner from
Scott's Bistro
. The wine-swilling Euro-crowd frequent the capacious
Bar George
, housed in a converted Sunday School at the end of Hill Street. Other useful information
