La Table is the newest chapter in French-inspired dining on the Isle of Man, opening within the Regency Hotel on Queen’s Promenade and proudly run by the hotel team. Taking clear inspiration from its much-loved predecessor, the restaurant carries forward the spirit of classic French cookery while introducing a fresh identity, refined service, and a few modern touches of its own.
The setting does a lot of the talking. Framed by the late Georgian architecture of the Regency, La Table feels elegant but unpretentious: soft lighting, crisp linens, and a calm dining room that looks out toward the promenade. It’s the sort of room that makes dinner feel like an occasion without trying too hard.
In the kitchen, the focus stays on time-honoured techniques and quality ingredients. Expect the comforting depth and restraint that define great French cuisine: slow-built sauces, precise seasoning, and careful cooking that lets good produce shine. Menus change with the seasons, but you can look forward to the hallmarks guests loved before—rich, warming soups, well-handled seafood, expertly cooked steaks with classic garnishes, and thoughtful vegetarian plates—all presented with modern polish.
To match, La Table curates an EU-leaning wine list with plenty of French favourites by the glass and bottle. The team is happy to suggest pairings, from something bright to lift a delicate starter to a fuller style for the main course. Aperitifs and digestifs round out the experience for those who like to do things properly.
Value is baked into the format. La Table runs regular offers and set lunch menus, making it easy to drop in mid-day for a concise, great-value meal or make an evening of it with friends. Service is warm and assured, the tempo relaxed but attentive, and dietary preferences are handled with care.
As one of the island’s only French-infused restaurants, La Table offers a distinctive option for celebrations, date nights, business lunches, or a quietly indulgent mid-week treat. It’s familiar in all the right ways, yet confidently its own place: a continuation of a legacy, now under new stewardship, with an eye on the future.
For a measured dose of promenade elegance and the kind of cooking that never goes out of style, La Table at the Regency Hotel delivers a considered, modern take on classic French dining—right here on Douglas promenade.
