We went to Icon Café on the weekend (Sunday 29 of April 2012) for breakfast.  I enjoyed the outside tables, specially the timber bench and seats.  It has a view of the sea and the Sky Tower.  There was on one to great up when we walked in and we could pick any available table inside or outside.  The food came out in a reasonable time and we enjoyed the whole atmosphere there. 

Food and Drinks

Chicken and tomato omelette $6.00

You can have up to three choices to go into your omelette.  We picked: Chicken, tomato and capsicum which I thought was a good combination.  The size of the omelette was huge and was accompanied with some salad.  I found the omelette a bit tasteless (no salt or pepper) but I guess not having any salt is better than been too salty as salt can always be added later.

French toast $6.00

The portion of the French Toast dish was ginormous too.   Big pieces of French baguette and a whole fried banana with bacon.  The bacon was cooked very well and it was no too salty. I thought not only the size of this dish was decent, but also the taste was great too.  

Eggs Benedict $

The Eggs Benedicts were served on big plats, but the amount of food on the plat was not that big. In fact the plate looked half empty.  The eggs were so small, however, it tasted good.  The egg yolks we golden yellow, yellower than other eggs and I thought maybe they are free-range eggs, but there was nothing on the menu indicating that the eggs are free-range.  All and all, apart from the portion of this dish the rest was great.
