About Chinta

Step off Scarborough Beach Road and straight into a lush Balinese courtyard—this converted garage trades suburban Perth for dense greenery and rustic timber. Morning regulars bypass standard toast entirely for Southeast Asian comfort. The consensus favorite is the Beef Rendang Benedict—slow-cooked, tender beef spooned over poached eggs with rich hollandaise. Others lean toward the claypot seafood or fragrant rice plates sharpened by a fiery hit of house-made sambal tomat. Weekend tables fill up fast, but the adjoining boutique offers shelves of homewares and decor to explore while the kitchen works.

  • Balinese Garden Setting: Trailing tropical plants, rustic wood furniture, and a tranquil second floor create a lush escape from the city.
  • Indonesian Fusion Menu: Morning staples reimagined through Southeast Asian recipes, from slow-cooked Beef Rendang Benedict to claypot seafood and Nasi Campur.
  • On-Site Homewares Shop: An integrated boutique stocked with curated gifts, crafts, and imported homewares to browse before or after eating.
