Blue Bells Takeaway

Chow's Table sits at Unit 12/5 Quininup Road, a short hop off Caves Road on the northern edge of the Margaret River wine region, sharing the property with House of Cards Winery. It is a Chinese-Malay restaurant with a destination-level kitchen rather than a casual cellar-door bite, and dogs are welcome in the garden bar and outdoor seating that wrap the vineyard outlook.

The dog setup

Dogs are welcomed in the outdoor and garden bar areas, with a leash required at all times because the grounds are shared with the winery and other visiting groups. Book an outdoor table ahead, particularly for weekend lunches when the deck fills, or aim for the start or end of the lunch window. Staff are used to dogs at tables, but water bowls are not guaranteed, so carry your own.

Max: Leashed under a vineyard table while the Asian greens arrive. Then a leashed wander down to the vineyard fence.

Worth knowing

The menu leans into Chinese-Malay cooking with a local-produce focus, and it sits at the upper end of the region's price range, so treat it as the centrepiece of a day out rather than a quick stop. Trading hours run 11am to 4pm Wednesday to Sunday, with Monday and Tuesday closed. Parking is on site at the Quininup Road address, and the property is signposted from Caves Road.

Close by with the dogs

House of Cards Wine next door at 17/5 Quininup Road is known for relaxed, pet-friendly tastings, so a lunch-and-tasting day works without moving the car far. Swings & Roundabouts on Caves Road keeps a dog-welcoming lawn for wood-fired pizza and a casual pour. For exercise between meals, sections of the Yallingup and Smiths Beach foreshore fall under Shire of Busselton dog exercise rules, with Dunsborough foreshore a short drive north. More of the region is under WA dog friendly restaurants and the Yallingup guide.
