About Chapels on Whatley

Behind a narrow Maylands storefront, Chapels on Whatley opens into antique-filled rooms and a shaded courtyard where teapots never run dry. The draw is bottomless high tea—each guest orders their own pot rather than negotiating over a shared brew. Pours of Singapore Breakfast circulate beside cucumber sandwiches and scones fresh from the oven. Diners often steer first-timers toward the kitchen's savoury turn, specifically chicken and prawn laksa simmering in house rempah. Even strict dietary restrictions get zero fuss, with vegan and gluten-free eaters handed full three-course tiers.

  • Bottomless High Tea: Individual loose-leaf pots poured to order—from Singapore Breakfast to French Beauty—served alongside fresh scones, savouries, and dedicated gluten-free options.
  • Southeast Asian Comfort: Robust cafe cooking anchored by chicken and prawn laksa in aromatic rempah broth, pad thai, and an Aussie breakfast with house-spiced beans.
  • Deceptive Garden Setting: A deceptive Maylands streetfront opening into eclectic antique-filled dining rooms and a leafy rear patio with a pond.

  • Multi-Course Celebration High Tea

    Celebrations feature a classic three-course progression of handmade savoury sandwiches, high tea tiered bites, and warm scones served with jam and cream.

    We started off with cucumber sandwiches, then we got the high tea plate, and finished with scones with jam and cream.

  • Inventive Asian Fusion Cafe Dishes

    Traditional cafe brunch is elevated with bold Southeast Asian seasonings, including house-made Asian-spiced baked beans and signature savoury condiments.

    Loved the home made bake beans and tomato condiment that has a strong Asian taste - loved it. This is the best big breakfast that I have tasted in Perth.

  • Accommodating Dietary Menus

    The kitchen easily accommodates specific dietary requirements, providing dedicated gluten-free and allergen-friendly options across savoury and high tea courses.

    My friends who had the gluten free option said it was the best they had had.

  • Deceptively Expansive Interior Layout

    Behind an unassuming storefront sits a deceptive, sprawling interior filled with Asian antique furnishings, curated wall art, and intimate event rooms.

    You’d never guess how spacious it is from the entrance—the restaurant extends much further inside than it first appears!
