Team Dazzler

Dazzler is the entire Isle of Man’s dining scene at the tip of your fingers — built locally to give every restaurant, takeaway and eatery the visibility they deserve, and to reconnect them with the people they serve.

What is Dazzler?

Dazzler is the Isle of Man’s most complete and up-to-date restaurant and hospitality guide — built by a team of locals after visiting almost 170 different businesses in person.

Free to use for both consumers and businesses, it’s designed to celebrate and support the incredible diversity of our Island’s food scene.

Whether you're after a quick coffee, a family dinner, or something new entirely, Dazzler will help you find it.

You can filter by cuisine type, allergy or accessibility needs, location, and more — making it easier than ever to explore your options, all in one place.

Why Now?

Because the Island deserves it. After our team visited most locations on our website, one thing that we’ve learned is that there’s more here than you might think, with plenty of hidden gems not getting the recognition they deserve.

The past few years have been hard on hospitality. Rising costs, reduced footfall, and limited visibility are the biggest three issues leaving many businesses struggling to stay afloat — with parking woes a close fourth. We’ve seen 10 restaurant businesses close in 2023, 6 more in 2024, and 4 already in 2025, at the time of writing.

For Locals, By Locals

One of the things we’re most proud of is the connections we’ve built with local businesses. Dazzler isn’t some faceless tech launch — it’s rooted in the realities of Island life. Our team has spoken to owners, chefs, staff, and customers to understand what matters most.

And we’ve created something that works for all of them, for free.

Dazzler’s Goals Are Simple

For Merchants: To increase visibility and footfall
For Residents and Tourists: To take the guesswork out of dining and exploring — so you always know where to go.

Our Island is more than just a scenic gem in the Irish Sea. It’s a vibrant community, rich in character, culture, and culinary creativity. As mentioned, in recent years the local hospitality industry has faced some quiet but serious challenges. From empty shop fronts to the mounting pressures of running a restaurant, many beloved spots have disappeared without much fanfare.

And yet, through it all, new venues have still emerged. Passionate independents. Fresh ideas. Home-grown flavours. Often only discovered by word of mouth.

That’s where Dazzler comes in.

Dazzler gives businesses access to home-grown tech that helps them expand their visibility and boost footfall by acquiring new customers — whilst also providing an accurate, up-to-date platform for both locals and tourists.
