My visit to Chimi’s Especial at the waterfront near Clarke Quay was an absolute delight and one of the most vibrant Latin dining experiences I’ve had in Singapore. The ambience was lively yet relaxed, with beautiful bayfront views, upbeat music, and an energetic atmosphere that made the evening feel special from the moment we arrived. The service staff were friendly, attentive, and ensured every dish arrived fresh and beautifully presented. The restaurant has quickly become popular for its bold Latin American flavours, vibrant setting, and excellent dining experience. We ordered an impressive spread, and every dish brought something memorable to the table. The Croquetas De Queso Azul were crispy on the outside with a rich, creamy blue cheese filling that melted perfectly in the mouth. The Buff-O-Wings were juicy, flavourful, and coated with just the right balance of spice and tanginess. One of the highlights of the evening was definitely the Chipotle Chicken Doritos Loaded Nachos — generously topped, crunchy, cheesy, and packed with smoky chipotle flavour that made it impossible to stop eating. The Anticuchos De Albóndigas added a unique Latin twist with tender meatballs full of seasoning and char-grilled aroma. The Queso Fundido was another crowd favourite, served bubbling hot with stretchy melted cheese that paired wonderfully with tortillas. To balance the rich flavours, the Pineapple Juice was refreshing, naturally sweet, and perfect for Singapore’s warm evening weather. Finally, the Maracuyá Tres Leches Cake (ordered twice as we couldn’t stop savoring the taste of it) ended the meal beautifully with its soft texture, passionfruit flavour, and creamy sweetness that was indulgent without being overwhelming. Overall, Chimi’s Especial delivers not just fantastic food but also an unforgettable dining vibe. It is a perfect place for group gatherings, celebrations, or simply enjoying great Latin-inspired food with stunning waterfront views in Singapore.

omg thank you guys so much! I was having my anniversary date here and reserved to come at 7:30pm. We ordered the beef dish and octopus tacos. The food tasted soo yum my gf is picky but she loved it and wants to come back and try their other dishes! The grilled octopus was so yummy and they even gave us a free cake and a candle for our anniversary which was so cute!

service was extremely bad. what could’ve been a 1.5-2h meal took 3 hours instead. we ordered 3 dishes and the third dish only came after more than an hour. understand that it’s newly opened but a big crowd should have been expected especially for the disney fireworks event. enjoyed the fireworks but the service left me super disappointed. would not return again.
