The bold flavours and charming courtyard space of Artichoke are best enjoyed with a best friend, the kind of person who won't judge when you make inappropriate noises at dinner. Both the relaxed atmosphere and honest food demand that you leave all etiquette at the door — you're gonna get your hands and face a little dirty. Start your food adventure by ordering warm pita bread to dip into tasty mezzes like Babaganoush ($8) and Beetroot Tzatziki ($8), these make for a fine introduction to the flavours of the Middle East that inspire the food here. Next, let the creamy Feta "Burrata" ($22) seduce you, before you assault your tastebuds with the piquant green harissa sauce of the Hot Skillet Prawns ($36). Don't be shy, suck on those prawn heads! Pick from either the Chargrilled Pork Belly ($28) or the intensely smoky Smoked Chicken ($30) to finish up, should you still have the space. For those who must end on a sweet note, share either a Rocky Road or Mango Sticky Rice Neh Neh Pop ($7-8).
