Where To Eat In Chijmes 😋🍽️
Hey lemon8’s,
I’m here to share a GEM place that i’ve found for anyone who wants to get affordable lunch deals at CHIJMES / City Hall area. So at 📍 Almost Famous Bar they have a $15-$18 Lunch Set
( Main + 2 Sides ) which imo it’s super worth especially because of the location in the CBD area and also it’s near the mall as well so if you want to walk some steps to burn off calories after your meal, you could do so. 🚶
Below are the lists of what they have for mains and sides >
Mains:
Gochuchang Mushroom ( Vegan) $15
Buldak chicken: $16
Mapo pork: $16
Pork belly: $17
Beef skirt steak: $18
Sides:
Stir-Fried Zucchini Stir-Fried Spinach
Chunjang Egg Plant
Rose Topokki
Fried Chicken Karage
Bulgogi Chicken Spicy Pork Belly Jjampong Clams
I got their Beef Skirt Steak Rice Don and the beef was absolutely yummy and soo worth for $18 with the 2 sides that i got which was Rose Toppoki and Jjampong Clams. Just having a meal like this made my stomach satisfied & so if any of you guys are looking for a good lunch deal at chijmes, Almost Famous is one of them to visit ! Oh and besides their lunch deals, they are actually a bar known for their craft beers as well so if you want to get a nice cold beer after your lunch… 🍻
If you're in the City Hall or Chijmes area looking for a tasty and affordable lunch, Almost Famous Bar is a hidden gem worth checking out. Their lunch set menu is superbly designed to offer great value—$15 to $18 for a main plus two sides is hard to beat considering the prime location. I personally love the Beef Skirt Steak Rice Bowl; the beef was tender and flavorful, complemented perfectly by my sides of Rose Toppoki and Jjampong Clams. One thing to keep in mind is the variety available: whether you prefer vegan dishes like the Gochuchang Mushroom or crave something with a spicy kick like Buldak chicken, there’s something for everyone. The sides are also very thoughtfully curated, featuring options like Stir-Fried Spinach and Fried Chicken Karage that can completely elevate the meal. Besides the lunch offerings, the bar's reputation for craft beers means you can cap your meal with a refreshing drink, making it a perfect spot if you want to unwind during your lunch break or after work. I also appreciate that it’s close to a mall, so you can easily go for a walk to burn off the calories. In my experience, finding a good lunch set in the CBD that balances quality, taste, and price isn’t always easy, but Almost Famous Bar hits the mark. If you want to try something new in Chijmes with reasonable pricing and a great atmosphere, this place should be on your list.
