Chimi's Somerset

Chimi’s Somerset is an ideal destination for pet-owners looking for a relaxed yet lively dining spot in the heart of Orchard Road. Nestled on the outdoor promenade of 313@Somerset, the lounge‐like ambiance lets you and your furry companion enjoy a meal together in a bustling but comfortable setting. The menu features what they call “Sing-Mex” cuisine – a creative, Singapore-tuned twist on Mexican street food – so you’ll find tacos, quesadillas, bowls and burritos that pack flavour, accompanied by refreshing margaritas and other craft cocktails. The semi-outdoor seating means you are close to the hustle of Orchard Road, making it a fun people-watching spot; yet it remains sheltered and pet-friendly, so your dog or cat can lounge beside you while you dine.

What makes Chimi’s Somerset particularly pet-friendly is the ability to dine with your pet in a safe, open-yet-covered environment. The outdoor unit along Discovery Walk offers plenty of room for pet owners, while still giving you the feel of a proper restaurant. You don’t need to keep your pet confined to a carrier; a leashed dog or calm cat beside you at the table is feasible here. After a stroll with your pet along Orchard Road or some shopping in 313@Somerset, this is a great place to stop for food and drinks without leaving your companion behind.

The ambience is lively — think vibrant music, colourful cocktails, and groups of friends gathered for happy hour. That gives it an energetic vibe that is still accessible for a relaxed dinner. For pet-owners, it means your outing with your pet doesn’t have to be relegated to cafés alone — you get a restaurant-bar experience where the pet-friendly component is built in. Dogs especially tend to enjoy the outdoor seating where they can watch passers-by and enjoy the atmosphere.

As for practicality, its location within 313@Somerset means easy access via Somerset MRT and the Orchard Road shopping belt. You can pair your visit to Chimi’s Somerset with some shopping or a walk along the mall’s Discovery Walk. That makes it a solid addition to your pet-friendly outing: browse pet-friendly stores, then reward yourself and your pet with a meal here.

Menu-wise, the favourites include tacos with creative fillings, truffle fries, churros for dessert and a range of cocktails that suit both drink-lovers and those just going for fun bites. The price range is reasonable for the location, and the fact that pets are welcome adds value if you’re making the effort to bring your dog or cat out. Consider timing your visit around the afternoon or early evening to secure a good table, especially if you come with your pet, since outdoor seating can fill up quickly.

In summary, Chimi’s Somerset offers the rare combination of central location, lively dining atmosphere and genuine pet-friendly seating. Whether you’re catching up with friends post-work, celebrating a casual evening, or simply enjoying a lunch out with your four-legged friend, this spot hits the mark.
