Isla De Manila

So delicious! Like Mama's recipes ? The service was fast, sooo friendly, and great portions! We ordered dinuguan, kare kare, sisig, halo halo, and leche flan. Full, happy stomachs.

Amazing people, delicious food!
Brand new place, new owner, new name, new menu.
Monette is the owner and she is backed up by a great crew (mostly family). They take pride of selecting great products and making their food from scratch. And remember, they have homemade desserts.
Make sure to try their PANCIT CANTON (thicker noodles)

Also, I was very surprised with the balance of flavors in their papaya pickle. Combined with some tender chicken or pork belly, it is just delicious.

Their philipino lemonade is unique! Made with philipino special little limes, it is just so refreshing and flavorful.

I had the pleasure to try some of their desserts: flan, Maja blanca (milky, soft, slightly sweet, kinda like a cheese cake consistency), pastilla (little ball made with powder milk, sugar and purple yam), they also have a little cake, cheese flavored that reminds me of a Brazilian dessert (queijadinha).
Their brownie (also homemade) is rich, soft and balanced - crunchy top, moist middle.

Over all, Isla de Manila is a great restaurant. They just opened and are now trying their menu. Keep in mind, giving Covid-19, they are at 50% capacity. But don't let that stop you, they have plenty of tables and booths. They now offer dine in as well as take out.
