A Middle Eastern cafe, a great place for Egyptian Breakfast and brunch.The maple glazed bacon chop and maple bacon slab sliders are the must try items.

At $20, I felt that the Middle Eastern ‘baked beans’ with Merquez lamb sausage (above picture) was somewhat overpriced. There was nothing particularly outstanding as the dish only had lamb sausage, baked beans fried eggs and toast. I’d definitely go for the Eggs Shakshouka ($20) which you see in the first picture of this post. It reminded me of the Tunisian Breakfast that I had at Wild Honey. Two eggs baked in tomato sauce with braised lamb, yogurt cheese and toast. The braised lamb was delicious.

A cozy nice place to have a brunch with friends. Love the savoury food. The service is good. The staffs are friendly and helpful making our dining very memorable. Don't miss the desserts too!

Most of you probably read about Artichoke Cafe on other food blogs by now, so I shall go straight to the point. Artichoke Cafe at Sculpture Square, is definitely one of the best brunch places in Singapore. However, there is still room for improvement for the service. We were there for brunch on a weekend, and they could not handle the crowd. Having said that, I do think they have good breakfast food and the cafe has a nice laid-back feel which sets the tone for a lazy afternoon.

I think this could be one of my new favourite hangouts. In addition to well-executed modern Moorish cuisine at reasonable prices, Artichoke serves my favourite Toffee Apple Cider by Brothers. I’m such a wimp at times when it comes to alcoholic drinks, as I love the sweet stuff even though I generally prefer savoury food. Tasting like mildly-spiced apple that had been mixed with butterscotch and cream soda, this is one of the most approachable ciders I’ve ever had. Worth a try for ladies seeking a sweet alternative to beer.

A Middle Eastern cafe with outdoor seating....in a courtyard style. Was told that it is a great place for brunch and I just fell in love this dish of scrambled eggs with rocket, feta cheese, and organic mushrooms..

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?

Artichoke cafe has the typical blackboard menu, wooden furniture as most of the other places. However i\'d stillsay 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.

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 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.

In a cafe named Artichoke, artichokes are bound to be found on the menu! Simple char-grilled globe artichokes with za’atar and evoo ($7+)~

The portion of the pan fried halibut ($30+) was really generous! Two thick slabs of fillets (really fresh but way too salty), perfectly grilled prawns and scallops, and patatas bravas (crispy potatoes with smoked paprika)~

Dessert: date pudding with dulce de leche custard, peanut caramel and sea salt ($10+). Too complicated and so sweet and dense that more than half was left untouched.
