Spanish Tapas in the Isle of Man

Woken up this morning with the distinct smell of Garlic as the reminder of our meal out at Tapas Cordoba up at Port Jack. I’ve been to a couple other Tapas places on the Isle of Man but this one has to be my favourite by a long way.We just had two course of dishes including spanish omelette, prawns in a chilli oil, potato salad, meatballs, posh hams on toasts (I think that’s the Spanish name..), garlic and olives, Anchovies, Chicken somethingorother and a couple of other dishes that I can’t remember.  To finish I had Creme Brulee which was excellent. anywhere that does a good cremem brulee is going to be pretty high up on my list of restaurants!The atmosphere up there is always authentic and relaxing. Wouldn’t be a good option if you didn’t have the time to sit and enjoy the food and the company but for us an ideal Saturday night out.

Isle of Man restaurant with local food!

Got in a bit of a habit recently of going out for lunch every day. Not a bad thing but the pennies add up. We go to Java cafe a fair bit so decided for a change to try Driftwood Cafe. I think it’s David Buttery who used to have Tanroagan’s that’s got it and the food was fantastic. Really good homemade food and local! I had Cod and Haddock fish cakes with homemade chips and Don had Thai fishcakes.

The place is really nicely done out and I can imagine it would be a great place to take clients or people visiting the Isle of Man.
