Best deal - unlimited breakfast for AED 65 from 10AM to 4 PM and delicious food ! Must try Avacado Smash and Pancakes ! Welcoming staff

What a fabulous brunch! Delicious, no-nonsense, yet superb food. We drive specially from Abu Dhabi for this this place. The staff are always friendly, know their regulars, and on point with service. Try the gnocchi, French toast, Greek salad, energy mini glas.... What the Heck, just try everything. 100% worth the price. Aslam and Felix, always wonderful to see you! Looking forward to our next visit! See you soon, your Abu Dhabi group!

The place is very nice, the chairs are not very comfortable. I tried their bottomless breakfast and it was good. Portions are tiny but you can order as much as you want. Why 3 stars? I ordered the sausage, baked beans and hash brown. The baked beans where from a can and the sausages where unevenly heated, that means they were microwaved.

Nice food. Cozy environment and also very affordable

I love illago so much. ....

Super good brunch all you can eat! The quantities are small so you can try a variety of dishes. My favorite dish was the avocado toast with poached egg, and also the pancakes. Lots of veggie and vegan options

Lovely location overlooking The lakeside in Media City. Nice chilled vibe with great friendly service. Wide Menu choice throughout the day and a breakfast brunch every Friday & Saturday for AED 55. This is exceptional value and hugely popular

Me and my friends went for All you can eat on Friday. It was our first time and it did not disappoint us. The food was great and the portions are perfect. I would like to commend the manager Felix and his team, specially Aslam. They were very efficient and service is very quick. We will definitely visit again.

Tasty food , great service. A bit noisy with sounds of heavy machines running in the background, probably the coffee grinders.

The place was amazing, beyong my expectations! Located right beside lake with outdoor seating open now , this place is something not miss! All day breakfast every weekend let you dive on those stack of pancakes even in late hours! We dined in here on a busy long weekend afternoon. Resturant was pretty occupied and staff was super effecient in entertaining guests. Outdoor area had fans and it was perfectly pleasant to sit. We tried their beef burger, slow cooked meat with mashed potato (hint of butter was crazy) and club sandwiches. I would highly recommend sandwiches they were crazy delicious. Berries smoothie was out of this world! The serving was big and we left with no room for dessert 😋

Spectacular place, offering varieties of Italian food.I have tried their Italian desert Siclian Cannoli and a very delicious red power juice.the place has a very beautiful outdoor place overlooking the lake.the general manager Mr. Felix is just a kind soul yet very professional he made sure we are placed comfortable and happy, thank you for making our day

Went for Saturday Brunch - all day. Fantastic food and excellent service. Just a note though, the location of google map is wrong. So they are in CNN building instead of media city.

Ordered food for delivery (pizza and lasagna). Both dishes were tasty but the talabat driver was so very careless that the food arrived a complete mess. The pizza must have literally been kept on it’s side…so unacceptable and unappetizing to have food arrive in that state.

What a lovely experience 😍The staff are very friendly and the ambience of the café is just gorgeous. We tried their all-you-can-eat breakfast offer, which is such a delight to eat.

Went there on Friday to meet my friend. Amazing atmosphere, nice staff and great lake view. Loved the food loved it all. Thanks. See you next time.💪

It is a nice and quiet place with great view and good service.

Loved the place...good experience...cost effective n yet very tasty....only Google location wasted our time as it is taking to samsung building which is 1.5km away where one need to reach to cnn building....so add right location in Google map while starting for the place

Had the all you can eat for AED65. Great food. Specially flavorful compared to the general buffee quality.Enjoyed the pancakes, eggs benedict and bao bun the most. Good coffee too. Its all you can eat and not 5 dishes as mentioned on some reviews. Maybe they changed it.Great service but it takes some time for the food to arrive.Crowded around lunch time on the weekend.

Great food, great service, great pricing options. I love it!

Clean and quiet place to get some work done. Good service and coffee. Will go back to try the breakfast offer.PS. Should update the location on google maps as it is directing to DIC Building#2 instead of CNN building.

Excellent food, staff are great

Lovely place for breakfast. Lovely location. Location needs to be updated on Google maps though.

I passed by the place today and it was full so one of the staff(maybe manager,bold guy) told us to wait inside until one of the tables out will be free. So we sat and waited inside for about 20 minutes and then he comes back to us to tell us for a table in the upper deck that would be available soon.. i told him that we would wait for another table as we didnt like that because it was crowded. In that moment he looks at me so angrily and threatening as if i said something really bad to him. I ask him why he looks at me that way and he keeps talking rude and angry at me!!! We just left as i am sure that he would do something to our food and drinks... would never go back there or recommend it ... terrible terrible terrible

Nice location, great food and super friendly service. Highly recommended

Their weekend all you can eat breakfast offer for AED is pocket friendly for the quality and taste of food they serve. Located overlooking the lake.Absolutely recommend this place.

Tasty food friendly service, cost effective, slight delay to service due to the popularity 😊

Thanks a lot to Chef Andrea for the amazing pasta! Five stars.

It’s a shameMy friends and I visited today (been before and it was great), service not as great as it was. Food came cold but above all the portion sizes have dramatically reduced its a shame because I started to favour this cafe over next door.After today I will eat next door, in there the portion size remain the same and it’s good food.

Gnocchi is the best I’ve ever had. Simple but perfect little pillows of yumminess. Great breakfast deals too!

Loved itCame after a recommendation today.Was good foodOnly two downsides:1. the coffee being bitter...a sign that the water used in the process was too hot.2. No gluten free bread available despite being on the menu

Nice Breakfast Deal!

Enjoyed my outdoor brekkie/lunch experience at @illago.ae thanks to the ongoing ‘pleasant Dubai climate!’IL Lago has a spectacular view on the deck of Media City lake, offers the Mediterranean healthy concept restaurant with an exceptional menu by well known, multi-award winning Executive Chef Andrea Mugavero. You feel that the food is prepared by passion with a perfect balance in selecting the ingredients, plates are well presented, and the most important you will get quality experiences at reasonable rates.Chef Andrea is always around to say hi and check-in on his guests, a real host who genuinely cares about his visitors.The ambience was perfect. You can sit inside with very cool decoration and library, also, you can sit outside with a fabulous waterfront viewAll Day Breakfast (7 am to 4 pm) 3 Dishes AED 36- Per PaxFriday Big Breakfast (8 am to 4 pm) 5 Dishes + 1 Coffee AED 58-  Per Pax

Went today with a friend, not very happy with service or the altered menu items.Service here is hap hazzard with annoying errors and staff pay no attention to you or your order... they may apologise but this does not return the wasted time and if you are on a break from work the staff have cut your break time because of silly mistakes that can be avoided if they listen properly, it’s happened a few times here... you end up finishing your meal in a rush because you sat waiting for the correct order that they messed up.I work in the building where this cafe is and saw it become great but recently they have reduced portions and increased prices. A bit silly if you work in the building because it’s easily seen and noted.It’s a shame to see a promising business try to reduce portions and think people won’t notice especially when the prime competitor next door does not reduce portions and the food and service is still very consistent.We will be returning next door after today.

Amazing!So friendly and the chef even came out and offered our pups some boiled chicken as a snack!We will be back!

Great breakfast options and fantastic value

Great food and great service, as usual. A hidden gem

It used to be Urban Bistro, but I think they re-branded it. Anyways, it is one of the best spots to work and have good coffee around Media City.

Lovely place. Great food and coffee

Great customer service and food taste. For sure will be back!

Great restaurant

Too much food but loved it

Bang for the buck breakfast place in Dubai

Nice and cozy

Excellent breakfast, hearty plate and the setting is beautiful
