Great food, freshly made so expect a 20 minute wait which is well worth it. I enjoy the pizzas in particular. An informal hang out where dogs and kids are welcome.
Really pleasent experience. Very friendly staff and great basket specials. 2 baskets of choice for R130 Mon - Fri. Had the chicken and calamari basket, very fresh and well prepared. Also big portions even for the full price of R99 each (without special)!

Ilha Restaurant & Bar is located at Milnerton lagoon beach - you can get off at the Woodbridge MyCiti bus stop to avoid worrying about parking. I could tell that patrons were locals, so you can always count on their being a buzzing atmosphere.
Review:
Food: The food was standard, "good" at most. I recall that each of us ordered something different from the others. My niece ordered a chicken strips basket (it was gigantic), my nephew chose a ribs basket, boyfriend had a rack of ribs and I copied his order after seeing the chicken wrap I had initially ordered. To be honest, the portions were big enough to share and so the price was justified. The ribs fell off the bone and was tasty and tender.
The reason for changing my order was because the wrap looked bland, and I wanted something spicy. I suppose you could say that I got my something spicy when I chose the chili poppers as a starter. Although the mains were average, the chili poppers were of the best I have ever had! It was so creamy on the inside, stuffed with cheese and cubed bacon, yummy!
My boyfriend and I love Ilha, we go and have a drink or a bite to eat almost every week. Our favourites on the menu are the margarita pizza and the baskets - cheap and amazing! I'd also have to commend the staff on always being super friendly, especially Alex (he brings us our regular drinks as soon as we arrive!) :) :)
The restaurant is geared for locals who are relaxed and not in a hurry. The kitchen is very small and if there are too many orders at a specific time, they will not be able to serve you quickly. Accept that and you will meet many locals returning for the value offering. Some will expect you to share your table with their hungry dogs but apart from that, the value for money and genuine experience goes a long way to make this a good experience a good one that will make you return for more
Decor : Laid back beach bar restaurant. Nothing fancy, but dogs are welcome which is always cool!
Service : Friendly waiters, although when it gets busy, which it often does, service can be a bit slow. Don't come here if you're in a hurry, but if you're looking for a place to have a cheap brunch and chill, this will be perfect for you.
Food : One of a few places that serve strawberry juice! Also the food, while not gourmet, is pretty good, and I've never been disappointed. The chicken schnitzel was delightfully soft, and the ribs and calamari were generously portioned.
Price : Affordable local prices. Nice place to spend some time at the beach whilst avoiding tourist traps.
Great little place to have a couple of beers after work or grab a quick snack. Their basket special (2 baskets for R100) is most definitely worth it!! The food is delicious and portion sizes are massive. Definitely a go-to if you're on a tight budget.
Great little beach bar & restaurant. Good value for money and friendly fast service....fantastic location right on the beach! What more could you want! Plus tons of cocktail drink specials! Def worth a visit!
Great place for all day breakfast and reasonbly priced craft beer.just had an amazing French toast breakfast. My fiance always enjoys the ilha breakfast
I visited Ilha today and it was something of a surprise. It doesn't look like much from the outside with its benches and lack of decor. The waiter was friendly and in the April afternoon the feeling was laid back and pleasant. I ordered a chicken and bacon salad. Ingredients were crisp and fresh and olive oil and balsamic vinegar were brought to the table without having to ask for it. A decent quantity of protein was supplied and together with the relaxed feeling of the venue it was a pleasant afternoon. It's a bar so no fine dining here. Prices are reasonable though.
We visited this place for a quick snack and coffee. The setting outside is beautiful with the sea air and the wind that blows on your face. I had Butternut soup that tasted delicious. I would however have liked some bread to go with it. The chili poppers was also tasty, but you must like hot food. The service was very good and the waiter was very friendly.
Super great service along with tea , a great coffee( according to hubby) and a peach flavored cheese cake. Just what the doctor ordered after a morning walk on the beach.
This is the spot. We stayed close by and walked there each night. Great atmosphere and people. Good pizza and even better burrito!
We need to support this establishment more often.
A great place to chill. I enjoy playing pool. The staff is always friendly and willing to make the shots I love (the alcoholic kind: they're too busy to join me at pool). I also enjoy the food. The coolness of the bar area on a scorchingly hot day is always welcome. Perfect place for a date.
Very cool and lekkker place to sit eat and drink . Meeting some interesting people like fredinant from big brother house and just chillling with a cold drink . Many thx ilha
What a lovely surprise - such a gem.
It was quite windy so we opted to go inside. - what a lovely ambiance and passionate staff.
Oh and by the way, the food was fantastic as well.
I will recommend this place
Amazing place, relaxed vibes and decent pricing. Situated at an ideal location with good views and within walking distance to the beach. Staff are very friendly and the food is awesome too.
What a JOL! Alex (the barman) was amazing with his service as busy as it was he had the biggest smile. the food was great (pizza was cooked to perfection) and good value for money on drinks. definitely a favourite spot.
We had an amazing experience there in February. Stayed within walking distance and we were there each night enjoying their specials. We will be back for sure!
