Ceviche Bar Near Me 55 Floors Up: FLNT's Nikkei Ceviche at ION Orchard

FLNT serves its ceviche on the 55th floor of ION Orchard, at 2 Orchard Turn, #55-01, Singapore 238801, and three of them cost S$28 each before service charge and GST. The restaurant is part of 1-Atico, the rooftop complex at the top of the mall, and its menus call it Singapore's first Nikkei restaurant, the Japanese-Peruvian style that marries raw fish with leche de tigre. If you are searching for a ceviche bar near me from Orchard MRT, this is the one you reach by lift.

ION Orchard sits directly on top of Orchard MRT station, which serves both the North-South and Thomson-East Coast lines, so you can go from the platform to the restaurant without stepping outside. Follow the 1-Atico signs inside the mall to the lifts. FLNT's own FAQ says it does not offer complimentary parking to diners, so if you drive, you will pay the ION Orchard car park rate like any shopper.

The view is the main reason people book. Floor-to-ceiling glass looks down on Orchard Road and Ngee Ann City across the street, and the restaurant's own copy sells it as dining 55 floors above the city. FLNT's FAQ notes that regular reservations have no minimum spend, with one exception: window seats at dinner. Ask about the window minimum when you book, because the tables one row back still have the skyline in view and cost nothing extra to reserve.

The 2026 dinner menu lists three ceviches at S$28 each. The Salmon Ceviche is the most layered: cubes of salmon with shallots, white corn and crisp salmon skin, topped with ikura and a mentaiko-coriander mayonnaise, dressed in leche de tigre and served with tortilla. The Yellowtail Ceviche is sharper, using yuzu and a wasabi, coriander and hazelnut leche de tigre that leans more Japanese than Peruvian.

The third, the Kajiki Ceviche at S$28, uses swordfish with mikan orange and ikura, and is the lightest of the three. On the tiradito side, the Tuna Tiradito is S$26 and the Hokkaido Scallop Tiradito is S$28. For two people, one ceviche and one tiradito make a good start. Order the Yellowtail if you want the cleanest citrus hit, and the Salmon if you want something richer to set up the cooked courses.

The Premium 5-Course Tasting Menu costs S$148 per person, needs at least two diners, and stops taking orders at 8:30pm. Sake pairing adds S$28. At lunch, a Premium Lunch Set runs S$88 per person, also with a two-person minimum. If you came for the ceviche, the a la carte route is better value: two raw plates and a shared main come in under the tasting price, and you choose exactly which leche de tigre you get.

The menu PDFs credit the kitchen to the guidance of a chef named Lamley, and the cooking mixes Japanese technique with Peruvian sauces across the hot dishes too. Dietary requests are possible, but the FAQ asks for one week's notice for vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free menus. That matters at a Nikkei restaurant, where soy and seafood stocks appear in many dishes, so mention any allergy when you reserve rather than at the table.

Lunch is the cheaper way in. Alongside the S$88 set, the 2026 lunch menu lists donburi and ramen bowls between S$30 and S$38, which suits a weekday break from shopping. Pair a bowl with one S$28 ceviche to share and you have tasted the restaurant's raw bar for well under the price of the tasting menu.

FLNT enforces a smart casual dress code. Flip-flops, slippers and Crocs are not allowed, nor are tank tops or gym clothes, although Bermuda shorts are accepted. This catches out shoppers who wander up from the mall in sandals, so change shoes before you head to the lift. The rule applies at lunch, high tea and dinner alike.

You may bring your own bottle, but corkage is steep: S$80 plus charges for a 750ml bottle of wine, S$100 for Champagne and S$180 for spirits. The FAQ also mentions a one-for-one arrangement on corkage when you buy a bottle from the wine list, which is worth asking about if you are carrying something special. For most tables, ordering from the list is simpler than paying S$80 to open your own.

The FAQ says walk-ins are welcome when space is available, but that reservations are recommended. Dinner seating starts at 6pm, with the last seating at 9pm and last orders at 9:30pm. A 6pm booking is the one to target if you want to watch the city switch from daylight to lights during your ceviche course.

Dinner is the better choice than lunch for this view, since Singapore's sunset arrives around 7pm year-round. Groups of up to 30 can be seated in the restaurant, while larger private events go through 1-Atico's events team. If FLNT is fully booked and you still want a high-floor ceviche, SUSHISAMBA on the 52nd floor of Capital Tower on Robinson Road runs a dedicated seviche bar and takes bookings until late.

Leave 20 minutes to walk Emerald Hill Road, just east of the mall, where restored Peranakan terrace houses from the early 1900s line a quiet slope off Orchard Road. Ngee Ann City across the road is the other easy stop, with its large Kinokuniya bookshop. After dinner, the underpass from ION links back into Orchard station, which is useful when the evening rain arrives.

Address: 2 Orchard Turn, #55-01 ION Orchard, Singapore 238801. Dinner from 6pm with last orders at 9:30pm. Prices are subject to a 10% service charge and GST. Smart casual dress, no slippers or gym wear. Window seats at dinner carry a minimum spend. Dietary menus need a week's notice. Order the Salmon or Yellowtail Ceviche, then decide on mains.
