With restaurants and cafes your favourite can often depend on your mood and your needs at the time. I have found myself walking through the doors of Ebony&Ivory on multiple occasions, all completely different in need and mood (a quick lunch for one in-between juggling appointments; a catch up with girlfriends; a business lunch; a dinner for two; take-away toasties for a car load of kids on the way to the footy and.... last weekend an 18th Birthday Party for 50+). The bottom line is that on each and every occasion the food has been consistently impressive, never a stumble (personal highlights have been the ravioli and the Scandinavian Salmon; the cooking and plating always presented to perfection). Ebony&Ivory offer a fresh, produce driven menu served in a relaxed environment that’s comfortable and elegant without any of the pomposity. There are so many different experiences to be had at the one venue; cocktails or coffees whilst reading the papers on the homely, comfy sofas in front of the roaring open fire (perfect for autumn and winter!); or a delightfully bright courtyard full of greenery and pops of colorful flowers with its own fire, marquee with fairy lights and that inner city urban feel - perfect for 18ths, 21sts & 30ths; or a more traditional dining experience indoors. The owner, Nini, has created a restaurant with a heart and soul where the meals are exceptional and the service from all staff is faultless. However, the greatest asset to Ebony&Ivory is Nini himself. As Host/Maître D’/Event Manager Nini is simply the best in his trade; Nini’s enthusiasm and commitment to ensure you (and your guests) have the best experience possible is genuine and heartfelt. Can not recommend Ebony&Ivory on Moorabool Street highly enough for ANY occasion.
What's Italian for delicious - delicioso? What's Italian for wonderful - hmmm, no idea. Whatever the words, that's what dinner was tonight. The food was delicious and the whole experience was wonderful! Excellent service and lovely ambience. Ninni, the host, was nicely attentive, and happy to discuss the menu and recommend matching wine and grappa to finish with. I highly recommend everyone in Geelong visit Ebony & Ivory. Oh, yes, did I mention the food was delicious?
An awesome place! I went there a few times already for breakfast and dinner. Finally in town a great cafe open all day. Coffee is excellent! Service is fantastic, people are very friendly. Food is delicious (and affordable!), that pumkin ravioli was amazing! Also great selection of wines! I highly recommend it!
Absolutely amazing food and ambience! The staff are lovely too... what a great combo!! Highly recommend this place if you're after the best pasta and desserts. Can't wait to go back again.
I just had my 18th birthday dinner there I highly recommend as the service is great and the food is to die for. If you haven’t been there yet you need to check it out ASAP cause your missing out on some delicious homemade food.
The waiter staff are very friendly and knowledgeable on the menu. Going out during winter can be risky, however the restaurant was lovely and warm. An experience we will revisit.
I have a diary intolerance and wine preservative allergy and the staff were very informative and ensured I had the right food and wine to enjoy a fabulous evening of catching up with friends.
We had a superb dinner here! Genuinely lovely Mediterranean food. My ravioli and salad was perfect. Was lovely sitting out in the courtyard on a balmy night. Service with a smile and an accent (sometimes). Would be a great place for a date night or with a group - lots of private(ish) spaces. Thanks for a great night guys! We will be back.
Went to Ebony & Ivory for dinner last night. Great atmosphere and service! We had the best salmon with asparagus, spinach and broccoli cooked to perfection! Then delicious profiteroles for dessert. They melted in the mouth. Will go again this week!
Had dinner last night after the movies.Have never had Ravioli as good as this before! Absolutely gorgeous (I could've licked the plate haha)
Great food and a great atmosphere. The host Ninni is very friendly and funny and always is willing to help with the right wine choice for you meal.
Fun atmosphere, amazing food and wonderful staff.
Excellent service and the food was just as fantastic! Will return!!!
