Ice Cafe has recently returned to the ownership of Geoff & Steve, it's long time owners until a recent sebatical.
Mietta's reviews the restaurant as "Somewhere between a bar and a cafe this groovy place whith its ultra-smooth late night decor has a real buzz at the bar. Earlier breakfast is all the go. Then the mood morphs into evening eating. Prices are reasonable and the bar pulls some of South Yarra's more elegant gentlemen."
The Age's Cheap Eats says "White banquettes line floor-to-ceiling windows and low-slung wicker lampshades keep the minimalist interior mood-lit. Ice is quite the hip hangout. Whether it's an all-day breakfast, late lunch or dinner, diverse menus worship the body as a temple, giving all five food groups a major workout."
Visit Ice Cafe at 30 Cato Street Prahran or call the boys on 03-9510 8788
