About Chinta

Courtyard greenery and Balinese stone—Chinta trades standard cafe toast for Southeast Asian heat in North Perth. Morning regulars make a beeline for the Beef Rendang Benedict, pairing braised beef with poached eggs and hollandaise. Come noon, tables fill with grilled chicken skewers and rice spooned with punchy house sambal. Upstairs hides a quiet mezzanine retreat, while an attached boutique lets you browse eclectic homewares on the way out.

  • Balinese Garden Setting: Tropical greenery, relaxed Balinese decor, and a quiet second-floor mezzanine create a calm dining retreat.
  • Southeast Asian Fusion Brunch: Distinct morning staples headlined by tender Beef Rendang Benedict and fragrant Nasi Campur.
  • On-Site Homewares Shop: An integrated boutique stocked with curated gifts, table pieces, and distinctive home decor.

  • Transportive Balinese Retreat

    The immersive island ambiance creates a transportive escape that pairs Balinese resort styling with deeply satisfying regional cooking.

    The Balinese atmosphere makes you think for a second that you are in Indonesia, not to mention the quality of food.

  • Upstairs Space for Private Events

    A dedicated upstairs dining area gives guests a comfortable, secluded mezzanine suited for celebrating milestone birthdays and private gatherings.

    The cafe also has another seating area upstairs which normally used for private events especially for birthday parties.

  • Seamless Group Celebrations and Feasts

    Large groups and family celebrations are accommodated seamlessly with coordinated multi-course shared feasts and attentive table service.

    From the attentions of our busy waiter Francesco, to the shared plates, followed by the individual mains, then the desserts, and not forgetting the excellent drinks served, everything went smoothly.

  • Convenient On-Site Boutique Browsing

    An integrated boutique right at the entrance allows guests to browse homewares and clearance finds before or after dining.

    There’s also a little shop near the entrance – I loved browsing and even picked up an item on clearance.

    The on-premise gift store blends naturally into the tropical environment, turning a table wait into an enjoyable shopping discovery.

    The gift store was so fitting with it blending into the surroundings.
