Jade Harbour Restaurant

About

A restaurant on Isle of Man, Jade Harbour Restaurant sits on Peel Rd in Peel, on the island's western shore. Its menu runs to seafood, the catch that small boats land along these coasts, with crab, lobster, scallops, mackerel and oysters central to what island kitchens serve.

Tables are available Tuesday to Sunday from 17:30 until 22:30, with Mondays closed. A rating of 4.5 out of 5 places Jade Harbour Restaurant among the higher-scoring places to eat in Peel. Across 88 reviews the kitchen has built a steady following. Booking in advance is worth doing, as the dining room takes a limited number of covers each evening.

A website at http://www.jadeharbour.com/ sets out the restaurant's own information. Peel sits within easy reach of Douglas, Ramsey, Castletown and Port Erin, so an evening meal here fits a wider circuit of the island.

Summer brings long daylight hours and crowded ferries, while winter sailings are often cancelled by weather, which is worth weighing when planning a trip across. Island life turns on harbours, lifeboat stations and the RNLI, with regattas and fetes filling the summer calendar. Grey seals breed around British island coasts, and basking sharks appear in summer surface waters off these shores.
