Following its success last year, Isle of Man Tourism is pleased to announce the launch of the second ‘Taste Directory’ for eating establishments on the Island.
The Taste Isle of Man quality assessment scheme was introduced in 2008 to independently assess the Island’s restaurants, pubs, takeaways and other eateries and the Taste directory was first produced last year, for the benefit of both visitors to the Island and local residents. This invaluable booklet lists a wide range of ‘Quality Assured’ or ‘Highest Quality Assured’ eateries across the Isle of Man.
Each of the establishments listed are members of the scheme and inspected annually in all aspects including cleanliness, bar and restaurant, hospitality, service and food quality. Those who are accredited are awarded a ‘Quality Assured’ or ‘Highest Quality Assured’ accolade. They are also assessed on their use and promotion of local produce and those achieving a score over 60% are awarded the ‘Harvest Isle of Man’ accolade, which is supported by the department of Environment, Food and Agriculture.
The scheme has proving even more successful this year with the number of participants up from 18 last year to 32. The following eateries have recently been inspected and achieved accreditation.
