Loved the food at Artichoke; there was a harmonious mesh of flavours and a refined symmetry in everything. For sure Artichoke's going down as one of 2016's bests eats.
PSA: For first-timers to Artichoke, it's at the junction of Waterloo Street and Middle Road; the little restaurant is tucked away in a nook behind this bright yellow heritage chalet-looking building, opposite Fortune Centre and next to the Singapore Council of Women's Organisations ("SCWO") along Waterloo Street. Park along Waterloo Street or Fortune Centre.
We had:
1) Slow-Roasted Lamb Shoulder ($38): sumptuous and hearty and rich but balanced, with meat so soft it practically fell off the bone. One of the very best lamb I've ever had in my life.
2) Smoked Chicken ($30): succulent and perfumed with a heady char
3) Greenland Halibut Fish Fingers ($28): loved the pairing with velvety squid ink tartare sauce
4) Duck Adana Kebab Tacos ($18 per pair): may not have received the same amount of love as the preceding dishes, but I liked it well enough. It was texturally meaty, and its intense potency was countered by crisp apple strips, shaved radish, a drizzling of lively garlic chive oil and creamy avocado hummus.
5) Charred Broccoli ($16) strewn with a piquant hodgepodge of miso vinaigrette, crumbed feta, pickled garlic, pickled shimeiji and mint. So good we ordered seconds

Artichoke Cafe & Bar, Sculpture Square

Well, I didn't know till I googled either. Moorish cuisine is a middle-east styled food fare with some mediterranean influence. Interesting, huh?

Artichoke is also one of the popular brunch places in Singapore. Unfortunately, I haven't been disciplined enough to wake up early for brunch these days. But thankfully, Artichoke serves dinner, just as well as they do brunch (I would think so, based on their popularity)!

I was instantly intrigued by Artichoke as I made my way in. I can't quite put it into words but Artichoke has this really quirky vibe to it. It sort of perked me for my dining mood too.

 For starters, order the mezze. Mezze is like appetizer (think the equivalent of bread in western cuisine). It comes with 3 moorish dips that are absolutely whetting. I personally make very conscious effort to minimize my carb intake. But with the dips, I was uncontrollable!

 Ahhhh... Grilled Haloumi. Cheese lovers, you have to order this. I'm not gonna say much except, "you won't regret it".

 I can't remember what this dish is called. Okay, actually I can't remember any dish names because this post is simply way overdue.

What I know is that this is one of my favourite of the night. You probably can't tell from here but it's fried cauliflowers! Not any cauliflowers but cauliflowers that are perfectly marinated and crispy. That's like a huge chunk of brownie points for the girl who secretly wants to indulge and diet at the same time.

 This is... bacon something. It doesn't matter what this is called because a bacon by any other name would taste just as heavenly. As is this dish. Just try to screen through the menu to look for bacon and eggs in the description. You should get it right.

 Chicken! The commoner's choice of protein. In this case, it's commoner's protein with the royal treatment. I don't know what they did to this chicken but even the most loathed part of the chicken - the breast meat, is as tender as any other parts.

 As taken from Artichoke's Facebook page -

"Lamb shoulder, brined overnight, rubbed with mechoui spices, slow roasted for several hours, ripped apart to order, bathed in a lamb jus enriched with fermented butter, topped with a pile of zucchini shoelaces marinated in garlic & lemon".

Both my heart, body and soul agrees that it is as delicious as how they have put it in words.

 Desserts for a sweet ending. Here's the sticky date pudding that doesn't look like your typical sticky date pudding. I joked to my friends that it's a combination of chinese steamed cake (huat kueh), herbal jelly (guilin gao), and peanut paste.

But of course, it doesn't taste like that at all. Underneath that messy presentation, is a sweet explosion of decadence.

Conclusion: I'd give 7/10.

I LOVE IT! My night was made flawless with faultless dinner and wonderful company of the zoolings. The only hurt came when the bill was presented to us. A whopping spend of S$60 per pax, for a group of 7. Youch.

I have not forgotten the last time I went to Artichoke 2 years ago. The food was great and I've finally paid a dessert pilgrimage to its sister cafe at Overdoughs selling very sinfully good (x5) pastries. One example is the bak kwa sticky bun that I had at the Public Garden Event.

It was supposed to be a lunch cum dessert session at Overdough but it turned out that lunch is only available on weekdays. Hence, we head next door to Artichoke without reservations but luckily there were seats.

With fewer than 5 items on the menu, we chose the Mezze Platter ($25 see top picture) . The fluffly za'atar toast was a natural match for the extremely savoury items such as smoked salmon, Serrano ham and mozzarella-like Turkish string cheese. And the Beetroot tzaiki and zucchini pickles provided a tangy contrast to the creamy Chicken sesame hummus.

Pan fried Halloumi S$22++
Sauteed organic mushrooms, huge slab of creamy omelette underneath and two slices of grilled dough on the side. It was a big portion for one and luckily this was my first meal of the day into noon time. I cleaned it up!

Every ingredient was cooked well, done right and seasoned well – nothing complicated.

I would have shared it if I were to have a Snickers Tart afterwards (from their sister bakery – Overdoughs) but not for the sore throat around.

There will be next time.

Do not mistake this seemingly gooey mess with unappetising food. The sticky date pudding in smoked milk custard and salted caramel is a delightful thing to be had if you are craving some sweet desserts. The milk custard was not overly sweet and reminded me of the Hong Kong cantonese milk puddings. The salted caramel added a tinge of saltiness which sufficiently balanced the overall dish. Great!

Artichoke Cafe! :)
2011-07-01 33 瀏覽
Artichoke Cafe was fantastic! Their dishes are so creativity prepared and I cant believe I only found out about such an awesome place recently. Their vegetarian ravioli was very good Their meatballs were the best I ever had so far, and their Lamb Burger was great. Simply finger licking good! Good food, excellent service coupled with friendly staff, making our dinner a memorable one. What more can we ask for?

Pay... for the ambience

Artichoke cafe has the typical blackboard menu, wooden furniture as most of the other places. However i'd still say that it has a better ambience then most.

Artichoke cafe has the typical blackboard menu, wooden furniture as most of the other places. However i'd still say that it has a better ambience then most. I was given a patio dining area and it was really pleasant for an early lunch/ brunch.

The cafe is rather over-priced; most of what you pay goes to ambience.
I had the eggs Shakshuka. I was rather disappointed because
1. It was quite oily
2. It's supposed to come with braised lamb (the reason why i ordered it). I cleaned the whole pan looking for any trace of lamb (a >18 cm skillet, mind you) and I found a piece! About as big as the last joint of my pinky. so i guess you'll pay 20 bucks for 2 eggs and 2 pieces of toast.
3. The whole thing had too much sugar and too much salt. and too much oil. aka, the combination the food industry uses to make you just eat until the whole thing's gone without realizing so. Ladies, beware!

My companion paid 17 bucks for something i could have made for 4 bucks at cold storage.

We also shared a sticky date pudding with caramel sauce. not bad, but once again waay too sweet.

So come here if you're looking for great ambience - the patio area is perfect; but no, not for the food.

Brunching at Artichoke
2010-11-02 43 瀏覽
We went to Artichoke for lunch only to find a weekend brunch-only menu. The menu is interesting but we settled for a simple scrambled eggs, mushrooms, rocket and brie ($16). I was impressed by the light seasoning that brought out the taste of fresh rockets. The mushrooms were lightly sauteed to draw out their musky fragrance while retaining their form and moisture. Brie added a touch of class and stronger flavour to the eggs and vegetables. Nice, well-executed and clean flavours. I like.The

Brie added a touch of class and stronger flavour to the eggs and vegetables. Nice, well-executed and clean flavours. I like.

The citrus breading pudding we were eyeing was not available yet so we ordered the banana bread ($10). I fell almost immediately for the cream with vanilla bean and it did give a refreshing break between the sweet and dense banana bread. The bread can be a tad sticky in texture but went well with crunchy walnuts. Sad to say, the taste of banana essence was rather distinct and we prefer a more natural taste instead. Nevertheless, the banana bread has done its job of making up for the disappointment in not having my bread pudding.

Artichoke on weekends is yet another brunch cafe that looks like a page from the Ikea catalogue. Not to be mistaken, I do like brunch or rather I do like the feeling of having brunch at a nice cafe. An idle mid-morning, wholesome breakfast, comfortable and stylish setting is almost an instant success formula for cafes these days. But somehow I was searching for something more interesting.
