The Abbey Restaurant — Restaurant in Malew

Update April 2024: We returned for Sunday lunch and were not disappointed! We were offered a range of vegan options. Manx vegetable soup poached apple and beetroot salad truffle aranchini shallot tart tatin spring vegetable wellington with roast potatoes sticky toffee pudding with ice cream chocolate brownie

It is so amazing to be offered options to choose from when you are vegan, particularly when they all sound so tasty.

We had the arancini, tart tatin, Wellington and sticky toffee pudding and everything was delicious particularly the sticky toffee pudding!

The staff were all really lovely and helpful and very diligent about checking for my allergy (nuts). The restaurant felt really lovey and cozy with real candles on all the tables.

We can’t wait to come back next time we’re on the island.

Nov 2018: We went there for Sunday lunch to celebrate my Dads birthday. My partner and myself are vegan, after telling the chef we had already had risotto twice that weekend during our trip to the IOM, we were told they would make something especially for us (the vegan wellington had nuts in it and I’m allergic). They were so helpful and accommodating, and the food was fantastic. The three non vegans in the party also enjoyed their Sunday lunch with huge Yorkshire puddings. The only negative was they didn’t have any vegetarian gravy - but suspecting this might be the case we brought a brand new jar from m and s and they kindly warmed it for us. Five star service and food. Best place on the...

Lovely quaint old place by the abbey,quite large,easily missed,we had'nt booked but was duely shown to a corner table with a view of the already said abbey, by a really lovely mannered waitress.We order drinks, white wine and a pint of lager. We ordered starters of crispy beef salad,and fennel and potatoe soup, with homemade foccacia bread, the wife ordered salmon and queenie scallops,l ordered the roast beef it came with a homemade yorkshire pudding,roast potatoes, shared veg of cauliflour cheese,green beans,peas and carrots. It was all absolutely delicious.The Sunday Lunch is of a 3 course do, we opted to take a pudding home, the mrs having double chocolate brownie, l had the lemon cheese cake bith came with manx double cream. The food was gorgeous,and the ambience of piped jazz music in the background,just set it off.Highly Recommended,give it a try, you wont be going home...

It was nice to be fair I've had better for less money. Think you pay more for the surroundings. For the first time in my life I had to ask for a different seat as the one I was allocated was blatantly broke and very uncomfortable. The waitress made me feel like I was being awkward and I suggested she try it but she refused and made out like I could not have a empty seat near by but the one which meant my wife and I had to move to get out. Bit embarrassing really. Then I had to ask for a napkin as not one provided. By which point I was feeling like a pain. Basically paid over the top prices because I wanted my wife to feel like we were having a special treat but actually it wasn't that good. Definitely had better scollops in local pubs round peel and Better meat else where but those places don't feel like we were doing...
