Located on the vibrant Douglas Quay, The Grand House brings the bold, sizzling flavours of East and Southeast Asia to the heart of the Isle of Man. Known for its wok-fired dishes, street food-inspired menu, and welcoming BYOB policy, this cosy venue delivers big flavour and great value in a relaxed, modern setting.
From the moment you step through the door, you’re greeted by a warm, dimly lit interior with stylish touches and an easygoing atmosphere. Whether you’re popping in for a laid-back lunch, enjoying a midweek dinner with friends, or planning a relaxed date night, The Grand House offers an experience that feels both casual and special.
The menu is packed with flavour-forward dishes, cooked fresh to order and served with flair. Signature items include savory stir-fries, noodle bowls, dumplings, siu mai, hand-folded wontons, and rotating Filipino, Thai, and Chinese-style plates — all made using traditional wok cooking techniques that give every dish its signature depth and smoky edge.
Fan favourites include dishes like the spicy Thai noodles, chilli garlic dumplings, and hearty portions of crispy salt and pepper chicken over steaming fried rice or noodles. The kitchen also experiments with regional specials, seasonal ingredients, and unique sauces you won’t find anywhere else on the island — offering something fresh for returning guests. For something lighter, explore the selection of vegan and vegetarian options, many of which are also gluten-free, dairy-free, keto-friendly, or made with organic ingredients. The team is always happy to recommend options based on your dietary needs.
One of the standout features of The Grand House is its Bring Your Own Booze policy. Guests are encouraged to bring along their favourite wine, beer, or soft drinks to enjoy with their meal, making it both budget-friendly and ideal for personalising your dining experience. Soft drinks are also available in-house.
The venue is family-friendly and well-suited for small group gatherings, birthday dinners, or simply catching up over noodles. There’s a dedicated children’s menu, high chairs for little ones, and even dog-friendly tables. That said, seating is limited to 35 guests, so it’s wise to book ahead — especially for evenings or larger groups.
With its street-food inspired menu, warm service, and a genuine passion for flavour, The Grand House has quickly become a go-to spot for something a little different in Douglas. It’s independent, full of heart, and serves up a taste of Asia that’s as bold as it is comforting — one wok-fired dish at a time. Whether you’re discovering it for the first time or returning for your favourite plate, the experience is always satisfying and full of soul.
