ION Cafe & Bar

Best Known For

Farmer's Plate: local lamb cutlets served with seasonal vegetables.

Neighbourhood restaurant ION Bar & Cafe on Irvine Street in Mitchelton is a quirky combination of white picket fences, recycled timber and Colombian coffee. Diners can wind down on the verandah of this old Australian worker’s cottage, or mellow out in the evening on a large deck at the rear of the boutique café. Bright coloured stools and sassy red trim create a vibrant vibe, paired with a menu of classics with a modern twist, such as breakfast tempters like avocado on housemade corn fritters served with avocado, salsa, halloumi and sour cream. Those stopping by later in the day can delve into the likes of a marinated chicken burger, bacon, avocado, cheese, mayo, salad and sweet potato fries; or salivate over a wood fired pizza such as truffle salami, buffalo mozzarella and basil.
