Located within the Palace Hotel and overlooking the sweeping curve of Douglas Bay, Paragon Restaurant offers a relaxed and refined dining experience with one of the most iconic coastal views on the Isle of Man. Open daily for both breakfast and dinner, this well-regarded venue combines comfortable surroundings with warm hospitality and a menu that evolves with the seasons.
Breakfast is served from 7am to 10am daily (until 11am on Sundays), offering a generous spread of hot and cold options to suit every appetite. In the evenings, the restaurant opens again from 6pm to 10pm, offering a range of freshly prepared dishes using local produce where possible. The atmosphere is calm and inviting — perfect for a quiet evening meal, whether you're a hotel guest or a local looking for a dependable dining spot.
One of the standout features is the Sunday Carvery, a long-standing favourite with both locals and visitors. With a choice of meats, seasonal vegetables, and all the classic trimmings, it’s a great way to round off the week in a relaxed and sociable setting. The restaurant also regularly updates its menus to reflect seasonal ingredients and changing tastes, ensuring there's always something new to try.
Children are welcome when accompanied by an adult, and there’s a dedicated kids’ menu with a selection of healthy and balanced options. Paragon is also proud to accommodate a wide range of dietary requirements, with advance notice appreciated but not essential — the team are always happy to help.
With on-site parking, disabled access, and a setting that balances formality with comfort, Paragon is well suited for casual diners, special occasions, and business dinners alike. The restaurant was awarded the Taste Quality Assured Silver Award in 2018, a reflection of its commitment to quality food and service.
Evening reservations are recommended to avoid disappointment, particularly on weekends and during hotel events. The drinks list includes a thoughtful selection of wines, beers, and spirits, designed to complement the variety of dishes on offer — whether you’re ordering a classic main course or sampling the daily special.
Paragon also hosts occasional themed evenings and special event dinners, making it a great choice for those looking to try something a little different in an elegant but friendly environment. For attentive service, stunning sea views, and a menu built around quality and care, Paragon Restaurant continues to offer a reliable and enjoyable dining experience in the heart of Douglas.
