The Bradda Glen Café and Function Room, nestled above Port Erin, offers a peaceful dining experience with one of the most breathtaking views on the Isle of Man. Whether you’re basking in the sunshine on the outdoor decking or staying cosy indoors, the café provides sweeping panoramic views across Port Erin Bay and out to the Calf of Man — a spectacular backdrop to a delicious meal or relaxed coffee.
Open Tuesday to Saturday (seasonally closed in winter), this warm and welcoming spot is popular with locals, tourists, families, and walkers alike. The menu is casual and comforting, featuring hearty homemade dishes such as hot soups including the much-loved clam chowder, savoury pies, quiches, toasties, fresh salads, jacket potatoes, and indulgent hot desserts like sticky toffee pudding. A selection of teas, coffees, wines, and beers is also available to complement your meal. Vegetarian options are on offer, and guests with other dietary needs are encouraged to speak with staff, who are always happy to help accommodate where possible.
Dine-in and takeaway options are available, making it a great spot whether you’re looking to linger over lunch or grab something to enjoy on a coastal walk. The café is also dog-friendly, with outdoor seating where your four-legged friends are welcome to join you for a rest and refreshment break.

With scenic coastal views and a flexible space, it’s a popular choice for those looking to host a celebration in a unique and memorable setting. The venue has built a strong reputation for its excellent service and atmosphere.
