Chichi House Cafe

Chichi House Cafe is an Asian-fusion brunch spot on Willesden Road in Hughesdale, and the drawcard for dog owners is a proper courtyard rather than a squeeze of footpath tables.

Dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor courtyard, a leafy, Asian-influenced space, but not inside the main dining room. Staff are friendly towards dogs and water is usually on hand. If you want a courtyard table, book ahead online and mention you're bringing a dog, as the outdoor seating is limited and this is a popular spot.

Good to know. The menu leans Asian-fusion brunch, pandan French toast, Indomie fried chicken noodles, cauliflower bao, nasi goreng, plus a strong vegan and vegetarian range and quality coffee and matcha. Open early morning through to mid-afternoon, Monday to Saturday, closed Sundays, so plan around that.

Getting there and parking. Free street parking is available directly out front and on nearby streets, and it's an easy walk from Hughesdale station.

Nearby with the dogs. The surrounding streets are quiet and residential, good for a stroll before or after brunch, and Hughesdale Reserve is a short drive away if your dog needs a proper run.

When to go. Book ahead for a courtyard table on weekends, or turn up on a weekday morning when it's quieter and easier to grab a spot.
