Lovely place. Christmas is in the air. Free light shows while eating a hearty dinner with family. Perfect for picture taking. A lot of restaurants to choose from and really great this season. 🎄🎊❤️

A beautiful cordoned section of western architecture and a variety of dining options nestled in the heart of the city. There’re lots of cuisines to choose from - Japanese, Chinese, Mexican, Western, and even a few quaint cafes and Michelin-starred restaurants within the vicinity. The combination of well-maintained flora and famous Chijmes hall are popular photo-op spots for locals and tourists alike.

I love how the lights made the place look for romantic at night. This church has been maintained so well. I love how the F&B outlets have been structured around the monument so well. Well done!

Beautiful old church partially converted into F&B. Not sure this is good idea as I think it is too commercialised. I think this place is cater mainly to foreigners as it is full of western restaurants. Anyway it is still a good place to take pictures and walk around if you never been there before. But need to maintain better as I can see certain area is quite dirty due to F&B.

This looks like a church. Inside the building, there are some good restaurants and cafes, some good photo spots, and communal space with beanbags, swing chairs, etc. A very nice place to spend the day. Came here on a walking trip around the area.

From the outside, this place seems like a quiet church. But actually it's a collection of bars and restaurants. The main Chappel being a venue for events. There is one male and one female bathroom for most of the complex. There a bar that closes at 6am for those who are jet lagged.

Great place to dine and have drinks with friends to socialize. Can be quite busy during the Friday and weekend. Lots of restaurant and pubs in this historical church surrounded by eateries. There is underground carpark but is tricky to find. This location is not suitable for people with mobility challenge.

Didn't know there were many restaurants inside the place. It was happening place to go. They decorated the place with Christmas theme. There were snow blower bubble but mostly for kids. The church was beautiful with wrapped video of Christmas on-going and with the songs as well. Beautiful gate decorative for Christmas. Had my dinner before coming here because I didn't know there were many restaurants. If I knew I would have my dinner here. But the place is a bit crowded. A lot of restaurants are full and with queue outside. They have so-called ice skating ring but I saw people just standing on the ring without doing anything. It was a small one but doesn't seem skate-able. No ice was spotted during then.

Amazing ambience, food or coffee or kids day out or family gathering - this is ur goto place! Such a lovely historic place converted to let more folks in for all kinds of experience. Its a cathedral with a lot of history and is let out for special events like wedding. recommend visiting once for sure.

This is a place steeped in historical charm, seamlessly blending a Catholic convent with worldly vitality and fashion, creating a unique and vivid atmosphere. Compared to some extreme and closed-off religious settings, it embodies a more international and inclusive approach. Moreover, as Christmas draws near, it's adorned with heartwarming decorations, fostering a sense of anticipation for the festive ambiance.

I loved this place since my first visit years ago!! Feel good whatever you go in day or night time! It’s a great place for photo shooting and dining! There’s cafe, bar and restaurants!

Old church beautifully restored and turned into an FnB hub. Tons of bars/restaurants on the high end classy side. The building itself is a delight to look at. Could be a fun evening spot.

A beautiful landmark walking distance from Raffles City. Lots of bars, restaurants. Used to be a Church. Nice to visit, wonderful ambience and vibe. Mexican food there is delicious!

Beautiful place. There are so many restaurants situated within church premises and all of them are beautiful. The ambiance is lively with many restaurants playing live music and concerts. You can chill and enjoy time with family along with serenity.

Great place to hang around and listen to some good music or watch the match on big screens 😆🥂

I recognize the place from the movie Crazy Rich Asians(wedding scene). It is a beautiful wedding and event venue. There are cafes, restaurants and bars in the area. Even though the stories about the place that used to be an important church and a school was unfortunate for the locals. It's worth a visit or enjoying one of the restaurants there if you're around.

Astheic Historical church, with wonderful restaurants inside this place. A perfect work meetup place or a place to go on a date. This is lovely! You can visit here. Eat sit, take pictures pray and have fun. One star less, because the escalotor to the basement was not working and that was not clean tooo. Rest assured its amazing.

Don't get me wrong, The food was really nice, but I don't think the quality quite matches the price tag compared to other fine dining places we've been to in the US. We were happy about the appetizers and the desserts. The main courses felt a little short of our expectations. They were delicious without a doubt, but just not quite there given how much the meal costs.

This use to be the Convent of Holy Infant Jesus premises but has since been restored to its historical glory with lots of eateries and pubs. An excellent place to chill and relax. Nice 👌

Chijmes is the perfect place for Christmas. Beautiful lightings!

Great place to go for drinks or dinner with a very nice atmosphere and enough options to find something you are craving. During weekdays is a bit less busy and much more nicer to enjoy.

It is one of the historical places to visit specially for history buff people. My friends suggested that we come here at night because the place looks better with lights. I loved everything about the place, you can dine in the bubble dome, lots other restaurants and bars, stroll around and of course take pictures. Worth an hour travel to this beautiful site❤️

The architecture is just splendid, not thay big but has its colonial character. There are some restaurants and bars inside, and also meeting hall that is used in a hit movie around 4-5 years ago. It is so instagrammable and quit pretty.

A former convent that becomes even more charming after the re-development. I love how modern restaurants perfectly synchronises with the historical building. Visitors can find plenty of good restaurants here. A great place for photo taking and relaxing.

CHIJMS is an amazing place. The Candlelight concert was magical. The eateries are excellent as well. It was our anniversary and we had a superb time.

Nice cosy little place in the middle of the bustling CBD. Quite and insta-worthy. Coffee, tea, cakes, wine, bars, all available.

CHIJMES is an amazing wedding hall with a lovely chapel. Also,This place is a popular complex in CITY HALL. The restaurant was buzzing with cheerful diners. Originally established in 1854 as an orphanage and the first girls' school in SG.

CHIJMES is a historic building complex in Singapore, which began life as a Catholic convent known as the Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus. The complex is located at Victoria Street in the Downtown Core, within the Central Area, Singapore's central business district. So you’ve stumbled onto an enclave of restaurants and bars in the middle of the city. Except that it’s quite different from the usual mall or restored shophouses. Formerly a girls school known as the Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus Middle Education School, CHIJMES (pronounced ‘chimes’) harks back to a bygone age. While school is no longer in session, this lifestyle complex’s green lawns, marble waterfalls, courtyards and neoclassical buildings makes it a great spot to unwind. Once a school and chapel CHIJMES began with one building—Caldwell House—which was designed by prominent colonial architect George Coleman (who also designed Old Parliament House) as a home for a Senior Magistrate’s clerk. The property was bought over by Father Beurel in 1853, in addition to surrounding parcels of land, for the purpose of building a girls’ school. Singapore’s St Nicholas Girls' School was established within this compound, alongside an orphanage for children and a boarding house. Other structures slowly sprung up around Caldwell House, most notably a grand Anglo-French Gothic chapel in 1904. One of the most elaborate places of worship in Singapore, its intricate plasterwork, wall frescoes and Belgian stained glass windows still inspire wonder today.

CHIJMES is ever so beautiful. Having the performance in the candlelight setup here is magical. Especially so as I'd spent 2 years of my secondary education here before the school moved out.

We arrived in the rainy season and were looking forward to going to a local hawkers market but had to change plans due to the rain and opted to go to Chijmes . Beautiful space with many good Resturant’s..Had a lot of charm and would recommend it …We went for drinks at The Winery ..

Gorgeous church, stopped by on a Sunday morning and it wasn’t crowded at all. Only walked around the outside as I didn’t have enough time to see if it was possible to go in. But even just the exterior is beautiful to look at.

Nice place for dining with lots of diverse cuisine.

Beautiful place, many pretty lights

A former orphanage now a beautiful restaurant area. A must visit place in Singapore. The courtyard area is delightful with a lawn area for children to play while parents dine. Fairy lights creating beautiful ambience. You must see the Chapel and stained glass windows. Look in through the glass doors to the now ballroom area. Otherwise of road to Raffles Hotel so eat here then visit Raffles. Highly recommended historical building.

One of the classy place in Singapore. Chimes is a historic building located in city hall, which began life as a Catholic Convent- also known as Convent of Holy Infant Jesus CHIJ. Some of my friends had their wedding here. Apart from being a nice wedding venue, it has numerous good restaurants and cafes which are good for friends' gatherings. The location houses Caldwell house which is good for holding small private functions and events.

Came in March to visit the old church. This place used to be the Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus, but better known as the wedding scene from Crazy Rich Asians. The hall wasn’t actually open when I was there, but I don’t think it’s normally open to the public anyway. It’s a pretty looking Neo-Gothic church and the area still retains the Gothic architecture of the former grounds of the church, especially the cloisters. The area is no longer a church, having been turned into a food and beverage complex. Unless you’re a fan of the film or intend to eat there, I wouldn’t go out of the way to see this.

Its a must visit place when you reach singapore. Lots of restaurans, great photo spots, and the best part is: beautiful historical church.

Calm vibes pretty place fancy lights !

Few shops for variety, nice atmosphere.

I love hanging out with my friends over a few glasses of drinks here.

Go TO Coriander leaf!

One of the romantic places in Singapore

Lovely place to visit by day, and it totally transforms when the sun sets. A place with lots of restaurants and bars for a good meal and chilling with friends. The ambience is perfect for a date or hanging with friends. There is a good mix of restaurants between different cuisines so you’ll be spoilt for choice. Must come both during the day and also night. Once attended a wedding here within the chapel and it was lovely.

Very beautiful and serene place.

Nice cosy place.

They are doing a good job even after covid. Reservation is the best way to go as always

My university classmates would gather here every half a year to get together.

Great ambience

A lot of Japanese food

Love the atmosphere!

Nice architecture

Great to celebrate IJ heritage alongside beautiful architecture.

Nice place

come and check it out

As a young kid’ parents, we were disappointed by the diaper changing place in the toilet there. Smelly and not clean enough. Otherwise it’s worth better rates.

Interesting experience. One should explore the place. Lots of restaurants. Variety of tastes. Prices are OK. Some places can be very expensive. Interesting fact that there was a convent once before. It was interesting to read the history of the place. Went there four times. Almost deserted by the day. Busy and vibrant by the night.

Many options to choose from, but can be quite crowded.

Very nice atmosphere with the Christmas decor and light projection. Super nice for dining in a snow dome. We loved it.

The place is really beautiful to take pictures and walk around but the restaurants and the eating places are quite expensive and not worth the deal at all. Unfortunately the church is still closed so one cannot go inside but a meditative walk around the compound is a good way to spend a half an hour.

Suprised and Impressed after covid19 lockdown, the place is so lively. Nice atmosphere around the clock and lovely environment. I was at indochine restaurant.. nice food and comfortable to spend the evening after long hours of work.

Historical girls school and religious site changed into magnificent place of excellent dining experience, you have to come here to enjoy the atmosphere and ambience. Lots of good food and drinks here, definitely can find a place to suit you, unless you're those loner and prefers to stay home type.

I love the architecture of the old CHIJMES school compound, which gives a rather classy and fairy tale aesthetic to the premises, making it a good place for wedding shoots, especially around the old Chapel. There are also a number a bars and ramen restaurants in the compound too for foodies and drinkers out there

Loved visiting Chijmes last weekend. The marvellous architecture, colorful restaurants and delicious foods makes this a must visit to all visiting Singapore. Access to Chijmes is easy by public transport. Check-ins and check-outs are very simple and straightforward. Will visit again to try other restaurants!

Simply fantabulous during Christmas.

Nice place

Nice place and great choice of foods to choose from.

Nostalgic place with good restaurants like Ubin

Enjoyed dining at Anglo-Indian in their exclusive Dome shaped dining pods. Very good food and great ambiance.

Christmas decor at Chijmes and sunset too. love it unconventionalpassionss.com

Beautiful looking place with several good eateries.

Many restaurant choice there . Good to go place for chill out with friends in the evening

Nice atmosphere nice evening out

Love the architecture of chijmes complex. And there are many good restaurants here too

Oh.. yes a city point for many foods in kind and places to chill out at the open court after office hour before the pandemic in place.

Fantastic place to visit at night. Lot's of food, drinks and places to take photos.

好久没去了，变了很多，下次再去看看有什么新的😊

Beautiful, elegant main hall. An unforgettable wedding venue!

Nice ambiance place good for hangout at night and so many good restaurants here บรรยากาศดีมาก เป็นร้านอาหารที่เปิดในโบสถ์เก่า สถานที่เหมาะแก่การถ่ายรูป

Great area with lots of lovely restaurants and cafes. Also has a fake grass area for outside sitting

LOVE the place, filled with pretty lights and tons of food and alcohol. Didn't know the interior was so beautiful as compared the the white exterior walls. Will definitely visit this place alot more. They also have dessert places. Be prepared to queue for them tho!

Chill and cosy with great atmosphere

Beautiful place and wonderful environment for dinner

beatiful place with lots of interesting restaurants

I am sure Chijmes has always something unique to offer, but during Chriatmas the unique also goes notches higher. This year the dome set-up in front of the historic Chijmes building adds a lot more to the entire experience. A must visit place during this time of the year.

Nice area with a lot of restaurants. I like the places to chill out in the middle of the garden. One do not has to consume from the restaurants to just enjoy the atmosphere. Especially nice with kids! Some restaurants are also good! Bit on the pricey side, but worth a visit.

Beautiful lightings!

Many eateries and nice ambience

Beautiful building with plenty of restaurants to choose from.

A tranquil place during the day to visit and be at peace. Lots of photo spots to capture and appreciate the architecture.

Love the food and the vibes. Burger patty could be seasoned more with salt and it woulf have been perfect, very juicy a and tender, fries was awesome. The highlight was actually the sticky pudding thanks to it being unique and I can't seem to find it elsewhere

The ambience is a great place for dates or hangouts in general. Nice background to take pictures too! Food is great but slightly on the price range about $30-$40 in general.

Hipsters place and trendy to visit. Good restaurants and drinking place to chill. Popular times are in the evening till night.

Nice, historic building complex with some grest restaurants and event spaces. It's a convenient location in the central part of the city, too. Definitely worth a look around. If it's your first time going there, I would try to arrive a bit early as it can sometimes be hard to find places there.

It's one of my favourite building. Everything is beautiful, day and night. The lightings at night just make the church look virginal.

A great place for dating. I myself having a great time here my crush and not gonna lie this ends well. So far this place definitely lift up the mood. Please whoever reading this. Help your brother get his love and relationship ASAP. 10/10 place.

Great places for the evening dinning. Limited parking space. Mostly mid to high ended restaurant

Love the ambience, beautiful place to visit with your family/couples or alone. They have a variety of restaurants to choose from. Superb place for Instagram photos!

There were many restaurants there and service was good.

Had meal there it was poor quality and food not very nice at all. The place has been renovated and a number of the best restaurants have either moved or closed down.

Beautiful and definitely worth going

A good place to hang out with friends.

Great place, great food!

Beautiful

A great place to hang out with friends and loved ones. Great selection of food and bars that'll satisfy a wide range of preferences.

Majestic in the night sky... restored with a legacy/history of yesteryear. Liking it for the random cuppa tea, restaurant selections and a good footrub at Natureland :)

Really well maintained and clean, feels like an out of singapore experience everytime I'm here. The bakery called dough has some really amazing breads

Many options of restaurants to choose from

a must for photo taking

(Translated by Google) Old buildings that are well maintained. (Original) Bangunan tua yang terawat dengan apik.

Good f and b

Heritage building..

Pretty

Still as nice as before. Seeing more ppl dining out here.

Excellent food selection but can be pricy.

One of the most popular Instagrammable places in SG.

Always been a pleasure to dine here

Nice area with diferents restaurants

Wonderful ambiance and very delicious food. Very friendly service offered. Loved the whole experience

👍

Always a beautiful and calm place to be at.

Nice place but so difficult to get it booked 😀😀😀

Cool snazzy place with opportunities for drinks, meals and massage.

Beautiful and relaxing place to chill on a rainy monsoon evening. We drank beer and ate Mexican food with friends. 😎

Too crowded

Many restaurants to choose

It's full of Japanese restaurants. It's like a little Japanese restaurant street. Kinda epic ngl.

Always exude the European and overseas heritage of Singapore's past...a feeling of away being in your own home country..safest of course

The Vibes at chimes and the place is very special for a Good evening dinner 🙂

Charming place in the day but packed with diners in the evening

National monument with rich history. Excellent place for photo shoots and many restaurants and cafes within the compound

Magic and beautiful space. There are plenty of restaurants and coffee bars and the architecture is amazing both day and night. We were there for a candle light concert and it was a really lovely experience

Love love love! So much that came here 4 days in a row for dinner for different restaurants. The ambiance the food at every place I tried ( glasshouse, tapas wine bar, Anglo Indian & Coriander leaf ) all memorable. The place is so romantic & charming very insta - grammable!

First time here! There are many cafes, bars, restaurants here to visit, most seem quite well-known. Place is really aesthetic, good for photos and hanging out with friends I guess :-) Would recommend coming here to walk around and explore on your own if you’ve not been here before.

Amazing place, heritage church. Stunning architecture with very nice interior. There's lot of cafe behind the church.

Just a wonderful spot for a wander about . A beautiful effort at "mishing and mashing" heritage building with modernisation. With the current restrictions, it was quiet but definitely not short of people taking pictures about, appreciating the setting. Nice 'bared down' boutique-ish cafes, and a lovely mix of flora. Gorgeous.

Enjoyed a beautiful concert at Chijmes and then dinner afterwards. Loved the simple light show on the trees.

Enjoyed a beautiful concert at Chijmes and then dinner afterwards. Loved the simple light show on the trees

A place full of historical activities, and the structure still stands in awe for all to see. A lovely setting for weddings, with a good selection of cuisines to choose from.

Gorgeous heritage building that's now home to lots of restaurants and bars. ❤️

Really beautiful place. Even if you've already paid a visit in the day, you should still take a look at night. The lights and ambience are great. You can also choose to have a nice meal or drink at the many F&B establishments here.

Lovely place for photo taking and enjoy food during lunchtime. There’s a wide variety of food outlets to choose from. Strolling in the garden before sundown would be nice to see the greens and feel the breeze.

Lots of good stuff here. Favorite whiskey bar the Single Cask is here and a great place to try rare whiskeys. They have flights and happy hour deals. The Ramen place down the hall is great too. Can get it take away and eat it while drinking whiskey.

A lovely courtyard with a century old church building which is not in use anymore. The entire area is filled with restaurants and bars with live music on weekends. Great place to hang around and listen to some good music or watch the match on big screens.

A very nice and intimate place with a garden. It has many eateries, cafes and open pubs. Very peaceful and green during the day, with a hint of old architecture. Perfect place to hang out with friends.

Beautiful place to hang out. I came here in a rainy day, so not stay long. More beautiful when the lights on at night. There are some restaurants. Nice place to dine in.

Gorgeous white church-looking edifice with open air concept in back full of restaurants, bars, and eateries. Three levels - entry/level 1, basement, and level 2. A couple of Michelin stars a/o this review. Level 1 was hot with fans blowing that didn't help the heat or humidity. Felt drim and dusty walking through back entrance.

A truly elegant wedding venue built in 1901 with the most incredible chapel architecture, CHIJMES Hall photographs so well! Our wedding couples have enjoyed truly momentous occasions there, and have particularly loved the long aisle that makes for some highly aesthetic march-ins! The exterior is also fantastic for bridal party and portrait shoots. Customer service here is also second to none; we would recommend this venue to all wedding couples that are looking for a special experience!

Amazing place, like all Singapore. Many bars and restaurants. Winery Bar Tapas was nice. Attentive younger Male staff member, spectacular place, Sunday night live band playing, great Filipino duo.

Beautiful place, with loads of restaurants. Loved the ambience and the entire vibe this place has. Was very close and walking distance from the hotel I stayed at. A must visit when in Singapore!

Beautiful church which is surrounded by lots of restaurants. Different cuisines make this place interesting

Very good cheese sandwich that came with this chutney aka tomato sauce that balance out the oil and saltiness of the filling. Almost feels like a pizza in sandwich format. Went back for the coffee and was plea you surprised by sandwich too.

I always come here whenever I visit Singapore. I just loved the contrast in architecture when the surroundings are full of modern buildings. Also a great place to have a drink - my fave is the Glasshouse for their delicious filter coffee. There are also bars and restaurants here.

Located near Raffles City, Chijmes is almost like a hidden oasis! With lots of cool bars and restaurants inside it makes for a great spot to meet friends or go for a date.

Attended my best friend's wedding at this lovely place. Come if you want some instagrammable shots! Worth a visit in SG.

Visited on a Monday morning around 8am. It was just us and there were no other people except those who cleans the area. We have the place all to ourselves to take pics.

The awesome place. You have to come here and enjoy its beauty

An old school that was CHIJ that has been successfully converted to a hub for fine restaurants, bars and pubs. Fine architecture of an old cathedral/church
