I generally shy away from restaurants in malls, but Isola came highly recommended -- and didn't disappoint. This is a very stylish restaurant, with lots of glass, polished metal, and contemporary furniture. The outdoor patio overlooking the harbor seems to be a very popular place for people to meet after work. For us, it was about the food and service... More

If the weather is nice, you can sit on the balcony where you can enjoy the Victoria harbour view. Food was quite good. I had a semi buffet lunch. Many varieties in the appetizer bar. The main course portion is not big which is good. So you still have rooms to try the dessert.

Located at the bottom of the IFC tower, Isola proposes a very nice view on the bay and Kowloon. The italian food is good. Prices slightly high (HKD 800 by guest for starter+main course+dessert and wine) but I guess we pay a little bit for the view.

Good salads, pasta and fish. My favorite are truffle salad and the stake when I come here. I would not recommend the pizza though. The price ratio is reasonable.

Located in IFC Central. It's modern, fine dinning italian place. Pack with businessmen, couple, and yuppies. Try the Sunday Brunch too. View is amazing facing to Kowloon harbour. Price between HKD 300-500

Went to try this restaurant after a friend suggestion and I must say it was a very good experience. The service is impeccable, the food superb, the restaurant beautifully appointed. The food is great, an excellent wine selection and very good service. Unobtrusive, courteous, very attentive. Would recommend and we will go back

Enjoyed a very nice lunch here of grilled sea bass and salad. It was on the menu as sea bass in a salt crush, however the chef made it gluten free by grilling rather than baking in the salt crust. Salad was rocket with beets, courgette, baby carrots and other vegetables - simple and delicious. Service was efficient.

ISOLA is situated in IFC Mall Podium 3. I visited this place to celebrate my birthday with some friends. Before I visited I read many reviews to make sure I picked the right place and found out the best place is to sit outside the restaurant. So I did and I wasn’t dissapointed. The views are magnificent from outside where... More

This restaurant was recommended by a friend who lives in Hong Kong, and I arrived early, so took a drink to the terrace and enjoyed dusk falling over Victoria Harbour. Well worth watching! Once my friend arrived, we decided to eat inside as the temperature had dropped too much (March). My friend recommended the pizzas, and now I do too!... More

When I visited, Isola Bar and Grill was a very popular brunch spot for Chinese Hong Kong residents. There were plenty of westerners, but a surprising number of sophisticated locals looking for italian. I've been twice: once for lunch and once for dinner. I had pasta for lunch, and it was very good. The dinner was pricier and not as... More
