Located on the ground floor of The Merchant Hotel at 139 Orchard Street on the vibrant Lower East Side, Isla & Co offers dining that seamlessly blends Australian café culture with the neighborhood’s energetic scene.
This casual yet fashionable café-restaurant, featuring a dedicated cocktail bar, attracts a crowd seeking innovative brunch options and quality coffee, as well as creative dinners with vibrant evening drinks.
The menu, crafted by Chef Sean Callender, features small plates like the signature Kangaroo Skewers with charred scallions, beets, and carrot purée, or the Ponzu and Chili Squid. Try The Isla Parma — parma is the best-selling meal in every pub in Australia — a regional take on chicken parmigiana.
Isla & Co invites diners to enjoy its beverage menu, which showcases its pride in a wonderful espresso martini. Also enjoy an expertly crafted “Cocky” from the menu like the East Side Spritz with gin, aloe, lemon, cucumber, and sparkling wine or the Margo Robbie with tequila, pamplemousse, toasted sesame, lemon, and honey.
Isla & Co offers a taste of Australian hospitality in the heart of New York City. With existing venues in Midtown and Williamsburg, this Lower East Side spot continues the brand’s expansion.
