Ironic Sur is a traditional Dunedin café with a touch of Argentine culture, at 9 Anzac Avenue in central Dunedin. It began as Ironic Café in 2007 and is now starting a new chapter under the Ironic Sur name. Breakfast is the part of the menu that people write about most, with lambs fry and bacon, fluffy pancakes, a creamy mushroom dish, and smashed avocado with eggs Benedict. The menu changes quarterly, and reviewers praise the friendly, prompt service and the view of the Dunedin Railway. Some say it is a little pricey, but they still felt it was worth it. The café can seat several large groups in separate areas, and the whole café can be hired for a private event of 60 to 100 people. It also offers catering and delivery. Parking is directly outside the café and in an area across the street.
Its setting is a modern, funky room with a bar, and it is a comfortable place for coffee, a meal or a drink in the evening. Ironic Sur has been awarded the Supreme Winner Café of the Year 2014 and the Beef and Lamb Excellence Award 2016.
