Ice&Spice, St. Mark's Road, Bangalore

This old time eatery on St Mark's Road, is situated near the old time Scottish Pub. The place has an air-conditioned area that can seat around 10 pax and a place outside overlooking the road that can seat around 15 pax.
Since the place was famous for its lamburgers, we had one of them. It was quite good. The meat was done well and there was no cheese to spoil the taste of the meat. The bun was fresh and soft - all in all a good burger. The burger is served with chips - probably 5 - 6 pieces of potato chips. They might as well have not served the chips. The potato wedges were served hot, but we found hardly half a dozen pieces. The almond / chocolate biscuit was a bit like a granola bar, but was not sweet, had a good amount of almonds and half of it was dipped in milk chocolate - not bad. The espresso - double shot - was around 90 ml of coffee - again not the best espresso I've had.
A couple of burgers, the other items mentioned above and a diet coke cost us INR 285/-. Not steep, but certainly not cheap. There are a whole lot of other cafe' food such as subs, sandwiches, quiches, cakes and pastries on the menu apart from a variety of coffees and granitas. Finding a place to park would be a problem on any evening or on any weekday during lunch time. Service is a bit laid back, but something that you can put up with.
Reco - Do try the lamb burgers.
