Artichoke

$$ | Civic District Fodor's choice

This restaurant helmed by local celebrity chef Bjorn Shen serves up playful (and unabashedly inauthentic) Middle Eastern–inspired dishes like the cheekily titled Lambgasm, a 5.2-pound hunk of slow-roasted lamb; hummus with Iraqi spiced mushrooms; and raw tuna kebabs. The tranquil, tucked-away location in a cluster of historical buildings known as Sculpture Square only adds to the fun vibe.

National Kitchen by Violet Oon

$$ | Civic District Fodor's choice

Get a taste of Singapore’s culinary heritage at this luxurious, colonial-style dining destination helmed by veteran local chef Violet Oon. It's known for serving elevated local and Peranakan classics like fish head curry and mee siam (thin rice vermicelli noodles), as well as modern reinventions like pasta tossed with spicy buah keluak (a bitter and earthy nut labelled the "truffle of the east") sauce.

New Ubin Seafood CHIJMES

$$$ | Civic District Fodor's choice

With creations like Heart Attack Fried Rice (rice stir-fried in beef drippings and served with U.S. Angus beef cubes on the side) and foie-gras satay, this Michelin Bib Gourmand listee specializing in creative Singaporean food is decidedly not for those on a diet. This sleek city outlet is the fanciest of the restaurant’s three locations (the other two stay true to its heartland roots), but the ability of its delicious and creative zi chars (Chinese "cook-and-fry" dishes) to induce food comas is consistent.
