About Chapelli's

A 24/7 Chapel Street anchor for nearly five decades, Chapelli’s is where South Yarra heads when midnight hunger hits and the rest of the strip has shut down. Grab a table by the front windows at 2 AM for prime people-watching and Italian diner comfort. Orders land fast—plates of carbonara, layered lasagne, and a crisp parma topped with melted cheese. Night owls know to inspect the display counter before leaving, where thick slabs of Mars Bar cake wait under glass.

  • 24/7 Chapel Street Staple: Operating non-stop around the clock, dishing out full hot meals and espresso from midnight to sunrise.
  • Classic Comfort Fare: Heaping plates of house carbonara, layered lasagna, and crisp chicken parma cooked fresh at any hour.
  • Front-Row People-Watching: Expansive front windows offer an unfiltered view of South Yarra's eclectic foot traffic.
  • Loaded Dessert Cabinet: A glass counter stocked with massive slices of Mars Bar cake, apple strudel, and fruit pies.

  • Extensive Display Cabinet Cakes

    An oversized dessert cabinet showcases generous portions of house-baked cakes and sweets ready to enjoy at any time of day or night.

    The biggest challenge was choosing which of the delightful dessert options to plate up from the cabinet.

    Street-facing indoor tables offer front-row views of South Yarra’s diverse foot traffic, from late-night partygoers to early risers.

    We sat inside in the front, street-facing section, which made for great people-watching.

    The coating was crispy, the flavour was spot on, and the chicken was tender and juicy, not dry at all.
