Chapter One, the jewel of Subiaco, a charming French inspired brasserie positioned on upbeat Hay Street. One of Perth’s little secrets; a traditional, intimate, low-key neighbourhood brasserie where guests feel nurtured and owners know everyone on a first name basis. Owners Jason and Hayley Walker have extensive experience in some of London & Europe’s finest five star restaurants. After moving to Perth their aim was to open their own venue without the pretension that surrounds restaurants.

Opening in May 2006 Ninniku Jip certainly offers something out of the ordinary. The menu is a fusion of different cultures with Japanese and Korean the strongest influences. Ninniku means Garlic in Japanese and Jip means House in Korean. As the name suggests, garlic is a prominent ingredient in the cuisine but does not come across as overpowering. The layout and atmosphere of the dining area is best described as trendy with the unique feature of glassed wall play area at the rear for the kids.
