Chinta

If you feel like you need a breather from all of the stress that life can bring, your best bet is to head down to Chinta Cafe located on Scarborough Beach Road in Doubleview. This place definitely calmed us down with its relaxed and tropical vibe - very reminicent of Bali.

This place is for everybody - the customers were a mixture of families with kids, health nuts, ladies lunching, and men lunching! We think this is a good reflection of the food on offer - filling wholesome meals that are healthy and simple enough for kids to enjoy too.

To Summarise.....

Food: Has a focus on healthy, wholesome meals, all of which are delicious. We recommend the chicken salad or chicken quesedillas.

Drink: BYO. Chinta offers great smoothies and juices. Please try the Harika Iced Tea - you won't be dissapointed!

Service: Unfortunately no table service. Our booking was not written down which caused some small problems - but the friendly staff saw that we were helped to a table.

Atmosphere: The best - like a beautifully decorated, tranquil villa in bali. The wonderful eclectic shop out the front also gives you the opportunity to shop + eat - win win! Best on cooler afternoons, the back area can get very hot.

Per Head: Aprox $20

The amazing Iced Tea

Chinta acts as a homewares store and a cafe so you can pretty much buy everything, from the furniture you sit on, water features you see, artwork you admire, and the plates and glassware. They also sell clothes. It's pretty amazing as we dont think many places in Perth offer this eat-and-shop package, which makes the experience even more special.

Chinta offers a range of cabinet food which is made fresh each day at reasonable prices. From cookies, cakes, slices and raw treats, to the more substantial wraps, salads, frittatas and fritters.

Unfortunately there is no table service, but you can find a nice spot inside or out, have a browse at the menu, then walk up to the counter and pay.

Chinta is BYO and there is a very conveniently placed bottleshop right next door! We purchased a $10 bottle of Champagne and Chinta provided us with some free strawberries, yummy!

One of the waitresses recommended we try the Harika Iced Tea to help cool us down in the 40 degree heat; it definitely did the trick! It was absolutely delicious, incredibly refreshing and had the perfect amount of sweetness. It came with a little piece of Turkish delight which was equally yum.

The mango smoothie was also a treat - anything in that comes in a jar is just x1000 times cooler in our opinion!

Mmm yummy, Gemma couldn't help herself from stealing Indi's smoothie!

Spiced chicken quesdilla's with sourcream, chillis and guacamole - an absolute winner. There was plenty of cheese, (yay - this is always a good thing in our books!). We were all picking off Taylor's plate because we couldn't get enough!

Tuna fish cake with a side of rocket, parmesan, lemon and sweet chilli sauce, this dish is a real winner! It was strong in flavour and was just the right size. If you watch the wait staff you'll notice they bring out a lot of these to hungry customers - obviously Chinta's frequent diners know what's good!

The chick pea salad was nice, but need something extra - perhaps a more flavoursome dressing or stronger fetta cheese. Still, we love the healthyness of this dish, and the warmed wholemeal bread was A-OK.

The spiced chicken salad with avocado and cashew nuts was amazing, we definitely recommend if you are a salad lover. It even said on the menu it was back by popular demand and here to stay! And hey, the customers are always right - right?!

Indi is feeling very zen after her lunch at Chinta.

So thankyou Chinta for a very beautiful, zenned out lunch!

Love - forladieswholunch xx
