Harden's survey result
Summary
In 2018, restaurant Macfarlane’s morphed into this winning wine bar/shop near the promenade, where the “excellent selection of wines” (over 100) comes “at a fair mark-up” (with “only a limited corkage for choosing off the shelf”); the “much locally sourced” sharing plates hold their own, and while the “menu does not change often, there are great daily specials” to compensate.
Summary
This “wine bar/shop in the oldest part of Douglas” offers “excellent and interesting dishes” with a focus on “local seafood”, backed up by “exceptional wines, with expertise on hand”. “The restaurant has a wine list but you can also pick any bottle from the shop for a small corkage charge”. Formerly known as Macfarlane’s restaurant, the business was relaunched under its new identity in 2018.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
