A painting from Cape Arid (Fremantle Press) - the original painting hangs in the Cape Arid Rooms at COMO The Treasury, Perth AU

Winter hakea & sheoak
Shop the Cape Arid Collection: https://nikulinsky.com.au/collections/cape-arid
From the moment we walked in the door of Cape Arid Rooms we realised this was not just any afternoon tea, this was something special. The walls are filled with paintings from the phenomenal book Cape Arid by Alex Nikulinsky and Philippa Nikulinsky, published by Fremantle Press (from which the rooms take their name) and the furniture is welcoming and comfortable.

The menu, which will change with the seasons, is inspired by the abundance of amazing local produce, featuring the likes of Bahen & Co. Chocolate Cambray Cheese Honey For Life Chestnut Brae Sweet Chestnut Farm and Bannister Downs Dairy Farm As for favourites, it is hard to choose as they were all magnificent but the rye tartlet, chestnut, mushroom duxelle, ricotta, candied pine nuts was particularly delicious and the jarrah honey cheesecake tartlet, spiced apple compote was simply divine! The buttermilk scones were easily the best I have had for many years!

Every mouthful was a journey of the most refined and delicious flavours and textures served on the most delicate Mud Australia porcelain and handmade, local timber stands.

Accompanied by the most gorgeous selection of teas from Teassential, a locally owned and operated small tea company which matched the food perfectly and featured indigenous ingredients like strawberry gum, tea tree, lemon myrtle and eucalyptus, the whole experience was simply perfect.

It would be remiss of me not to mention the amazing attention to detail and exceptional service. Not at all fussy or over the top but just enough to feel special! Our Scottish server was very attentive and professional, making sure we were happy and comfortable without making us feel hurried or a burden.

We simply can't wait to come back... although we each have a lime and mint delice with citrus curd, mint sponge and eucalyptus to eat later (we couldn't fit in another bite so took this one home!)

Thank you for a truly wonderful afternoon!
Cape Arid Rooms at COMO The Treasury, Perth AU featured on the cover of The West Australian Today section today. Book via State Buildings website to experience the finest afternoon tea.
"So many people have reached out to tell me how they loved seeing the collection at COMO The Treasury. Many of them did not know where Cape Arid was before seeing the artwork and went to explore it afterwards. That they bothered to take the very long drive to Cape Arid is a testament to the compelling sense of place that I think our collection inspires."

​​An exquisite celebration of the Western Australian landscape, Philippa and Alex Nikulinsky's Cape Arid Collection has adorned our walls since we opened our doors in 2015. This intricate series of works is the inspiration for our reimagined home of afternoon indulgence – Cape Arid Rooms.
