Australian in Dallas

Isla & Co. is located in the thriving Bishop Arts District restaurant scene. This Australian-inspired one-stop shop for brunch and dinner dishes, artisan coffee, vino and spiffy signature cocktails.
If you're there for brunch, try the Sambal Scramble. Soft scrambled eggs with avocado (you can opt for bacon over avocado), parmesan and green harissa on sourdough, all lying atop a spicy chili sambal sauce. The Brekkie Roll is a brioche breakfast sandwich of scrambled eggs, white cheddar, bacon, peperonata (stewed bell peppers) and arugula. For lunch portion of the menu, go for the fish and chips served with yuzo kosho (a Japanese condiment made of fresh chiles) and tartar sauce. The fries were good and the fish was excellent: tender, flaky whitefish encased in a sheath of battered, deep-fried crunchiness. The Spicy Shrimp Vodka Rigatoni definitely had a kick, but not overly so, and the dish is abundant with shrimp. Reservations are recommended at peak times if you want to be sure of getting a table.
