A Gem! - Edit
We’re so lucky to have VIBE on island, they would stand out anywhere, but to have them here is incredible ❤️
Read moreTheir menus are clearly lovingly and thoughtfully designed. The food is always imaginative and fantastically executed.
They often do themed / seasonal menus too, which bring such exciting variety to vegan food available on island. I went for the pop-up tapas week for my birthday a few months ago with 4 others, and together we tasted almost everything on the menu - all of it was fab!
I will continue to be back any chance I get!

Tasty food but overpriced - Edit
Been quite a few times and the food is generally pretty nice, but it’s really expensive for what it is. London prices in Douglas.

I ADORE VIBE - Edit
I absolutely adore this place, it is just absolutely incredible and every time I visit the Isle of Man to see my auntie I make sure to come here. It is genuinely like the perfect vegan oasis and the food is just unreal every single time, it’s so nice to have a change of actually sitting there and struggling to make a choice because everything on the menu is vegan and everything sounds so good!!! This place deserves all the success and I love it so so much.

Vegan food at it's best - Edit
A small, perfectly decorated eatery that provides a healthy and relaxing venue for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We visited once for lunch and twice for dinner, and each time, the food was freshly cooked and exceptionally good. The vegan baked camemburg is to die for. The special board omelette was incredible, and the super food mushroom cappuccinos fabulous.
Read moreStaff are incredibly friendly, attentive, and rightly excited about the dishes they produce.
This place is a must for vegans to visit,
and non-vegans will also be inspired by the fabulous food on offer.
Pros: Atmosphere and decor, Quality,and flavours of the dishes, Fabulous range of dishes on offer
Cons: It's not open every day, It's small, so can booked up/full quickly

Beautiful place. Lovely people. Amazing food. Peaceful but fun vibe. - Edit
Everything about this place, the people who run it and the people it attracts is simply wonderful. Options on the island for people who have chosen a plant based diet are few so Vibe feels like an oasis. Such a tonic after a week of the TT races and the usual sketchy diet that comes with most motorsport events.

Best meal ever! - Edit
Probably the best vegan place I’ve ever been to. Extensive fully plant-based menu and all food was exceptional, I wanted to eat the whole menu! Unique foods like the vegan Camembert which I’ve never had since going vegan. Lovely interior with lots of greenery, recipe books and health books to peruse and games for the table created a lovely atmosphere. Could eat Brunch, Lunch and Dinner here!

Another amazing meal at the wonderful Vibe. Picture perfect curry complete with edible flowers, THE best side of smashed roast potatoes (always order them!), followed by an amazing ice cream sundae for himself and a small bite pecan choc brownie for me. Gorgeous!

Vibe, an urban oasis - Edit
Cannot fault Vibe. Laura and her staff are so friendly and will swap out anything that you can't eat, the restaurant is beautifully decorated and has a cozy and welcoming ambiance. The menu changes every month plus there are new soup of the day and pasta specials every week. The food is delicious and filling. Even the toilets have positive messages all over the walls.They also do 'suspended coffee'.

Vegan everything! - Edit
Me and a couple of friends (one flexi, one carni) went to Isle of Man for a random trip a couple of weeks ago and had our last meal of the weekend here at Vibe. It was actually the carnivore who chose. This cafe is the cutest place; even the toilets were cool lol. I had a burger which came in a focaccia and it was absolutely delicious. To drink, I had the liquid gold - orange, apple, carrot, ginger and turmeric - which was unreal. If I lived on IOM, I'd be at Vibe every day for that alone. The other two with me had (the same) burger and sausage and mash. Apparently the sausages weren't great, but that diner is usually a meat eater so it was probably too different from what she considers a sausage to be. One of the girls had the activated charcoal drink which I had a sip of - SO good. If anyone knows where to buy this online, please let me know! I should also say that the staff in the cafe were so lovely as well. It's called VIBE for a reason and is just the loveliest little place for a wholesome vegan lunch and drink with friends.

I completely agree and I do live here and VIBE is my favourite restaurant. I came here 26 times last year before I was a vegan. When I found the place, I loved it so much that I came 4 days in a row!

Vibrant Inspiring Beautiful Eating - it's fabulous! - Edit
Lively, busy eatery. Upbeat music in the background. Tables plus seating at the window-front bar. Lunch menu begins at 12 noon; from 11:00, there are hot drinks, sweet & savoury baked goods, smoothies, etc. Last food orders at 2 pm. Reopens for dinner. Sunday food until 3 pm. Closed Mon-Tue. Lunch deal of half soup and half sandwich.
Read moreFood and drinks are attractively presented. I enjoyed everything I had here, including a thick soup & bbq-jackfruit sandwich, bottled juice (cloudy pear, served in a glass with a thin slice of dried pear), sticky toffee pudding (warm with vanilla ice cream - luscious!), beet-fennel salad, sausage roll with chutney, Snickerdoodle smoothie and especially the wonderful Sunday roast (the “smaller” size was enough for me; the horseradish and cranberry sauce were great too). Do book a table in advance.
VIBE uses breads from local Noa Bakery.
Friendly service. Fabulous restaurant that I will hurry back to, next time I’m in Douglas.
Pros: all vegan
Cons: restricted hours

I agree. I eat here regularly and have introduced so many friends here.

Absolutely loved this cafe. I had the burger and scone and it was sensational. Lovely atmosphere and all the staff were nice. I am a coin collector and they even looked through their tip jar to find a 20p I was looking for. Highly reccommend!

Best evening meal we have had out in a long time. The food was delicious, especially the baked 'camembert' with toasted bread and relish - still thinking about it a few days later! We also had the asparagus and grapefruit salad, bean and potato stew, tofu katsu dish and the orange and chocolate tart. The ambience was so relaxing and the service super friendly. I was visiting from Belfast and looking forward to my next trip!

Amazing! - Edit
Found this place via Happy Cow after nearly 14 years of visiting the Isle of Man and struggling to find good vegan food. Read the reviews on here and it didn't disappoint! We visited on a Wednesday lunchtime and I had the Rendang Curry and my husband had the coronation jackfruit focaccia - both were divine. We enjoyed our food so much, we booked a table for Friday evening. If I had to eat all my meals at only one restaurant for the rest of my life, it might just be this one! Now I just need to buy a house on the island and make this my home ;)
