Once a church & now converted to a sort of centre housing restaurants & pubs. Once inside the grounds you are shielded by the walls from the hustle & bustle of the city outside. A nice quiet place to sit out in the open or inside & have a meal or a drink. Food options are good. More

Chijmes is a great collection of bars and restaurants and always buzzing on the weekends. I've eaten at a couple of restaurants here like the Sun & Moon dinign, Lei garden and Indochine. It also has a really good bar tucked away near the entrance, which has a massive collection of whiskies and also serves Absinthe. Unfortunately I have forgotten... More

This is the shopping, bar and food court place converted from the old Convent and Convent school. It is well worth wandering around, but I think it is targetted at people younger than I am :-) The old chapel is still there and is well worth a look. More

This is a charming location as an old convent. SOme of the restaurants are good, but warning also, some are a bit run down and grubby. Bit of a mixed bag. More

Nice converted convent with many shops, restaurants and bars. Good evening destination for some drinks and a dinner if you've already been to Marina Bay area and Quays. More

Chijimes is well located, close to transport, not too far from Orchard, and close to many of the better hotels like Raffles, Swissotel, Carlton etc. Its a lovely old church building, which has been turned into assorted eating and drinking venues. However, from my times there, it is a bit of a hang out for the younger set and the... More

Chijmes is very much in the middle of SGP, a typical hang-out for yuppies with too much money for average food. The scenery is nice: church yard on two levels, close to Raffles Hotel and Swissotel. Was at a reception in the chapel recently - something different, but acoustics unbearable especially if it gets a bit noisy and some band... More

If you are thinking of visiting this place for food and drink, it would satisfy some people's "needs". It is, however, not a place that is going to get all thumbs up. If you are going there to make a trip done what this place used to be, then it is worth visiting. What I would suggest is to visit... More
