CHIJMES Singapore stands out as a beautiful heritage site on Victoria Street, blending history with modern lifestyle experiences.

Originally a Catholic convent and school dating back to the 1850s, CHIJMES (pronounced “chimes”) was carefully restored into a lifestyle complex while preserving its original chapel and cloistered walkways.

The highlight is the CHIJMES Hall—a former chapel now used for weddings, concerts, and private functions, featuring tall stained-glass windows and high vaulted ceilings.

Dining options at CHIJMES are diverse: you’ll find everything from Japanese izakayas and Spanish tapas bars to Italian trattorias, wine bars, steakhouses, and modern Asian bistros.

There’s also a lively nightlife scene, with alfresco bars and regular live music or sports screenings on big screens in the courtyard.

Look out for pop-up markets, music festivals, and festive celebrations that add to the complex’s charm.

Overall, CHIJMES continues to be a favourite destination for locals and tourists seeking good food more info and unique experiences in a stunning heritage setting.
