    Food was AMAZING! Very rarely do I go to a restaurant and EVERYTHING we ate was great. We got a platter for 2 that included 3 meats and 3 sides. Portions were great and it was a great deal for the money. Gave us the option of trying a lil bit of everything from the menu. We got pork ribs, beef brisket and the half chicken with cornbread, waffle sweet potato fries & Mac & cheese. Still thinking about that Mac & chese to this day! Wish I got a to go plate lol. There was enough food to make us full plus take home leftovers. I will recommend this place to everyone! Only thing I would change is I would've opted for a bigger table since we got a whole platter. It took up the entire table lol

    I love Isla’s! It’s a long time Parkdale community treasure. My parents came to visit me for christmas from my hometown and though they grew up in Toronto when they were young, they are in their 70s now and don’t know where to go for lovely places to eat and enjoy themselves, as the city has changed a lot My mother worked for a long time at Womens College Hospital and then Mount Sinai and had many Filipino friends with whom she used to have pot luck dinners, which I did not know. She was so excited to have lumpia and pancit again! My lomi egg soup was incredible, and my dad’s short ribs were perfection and we all enjoyed the fresh oysters and empanadas My brother died last year, and this was our first christmas together since his passing and you made it so special. We will all be coming back ♥️
