What was once Brasserie Les Saveurs, a French restaurant at The St Regis Singapore, has been rebranded to The Astor Grill, a grill restaurant offering primary, secondary and sharing cuts sourced from Australia, the US and the United Kingdom. Chef de cuisine Angelo Sergio—who is a self-confessed “dry-aged and grass-fed aficionado”—has mastered the temperament of the grill, ensuring that steaks are cooked to the diners’ desired doneness. Must-tries include the Full Blood Autumn Wagyu, an MB 9+ cut which has been grain-fed for 500 days to ensure a tender finish upon grilling, while the hanger steak is an exclusive black Angus cut from Australia with an intense flavour profile and a subtle sweet aftertaste.

A highly popular Singapore outpost of the Parisian institution L’Entrecôte, this Duxton Hill bistro exudes French charm that’s presented in a fairly casual manner. Its crown jewel, the entrecôte steak, a trimmed sirloin that has had its filet removed, is a treat to behold. It’s gloriously accompanied by the signature walnut salad and a golden mound of crisp, double-cooked frites. Beyond its star dish, the menu also features French bistro staples such as French onion soup, and a delightfully garlicky plate of escargots de bourgogne, served with crisp bread to mop up every last drop. Be sure to complete the meal with a glass of the exclusive Cuvée de L’Entrecôte, a bold yet fruity red that serves as the perfect capstone to the iconic steak.

With its uncompromising selection of proteins from some of the world’s premium producers, 665°F can be considered a stairway to heaven for the discerning meat lover. Named after the temperature of the Pira oven and grill that coaxes its offerings to deserving doneness, 665°F’s prime cuts of beef are aged in-house alongside sustainably sourced seafood. Its interpretation of traditional sides, such as the subtly creamed spinach, works to balance the rich offerings. For new diners, sampling the restaurant’s signature and oh-so-succulent Andaz Pils-marinated Sanchoku Wagyu flank will ensure a repeat visit. Kickstart the meal by choosing from over 400 Old and New World wines, and the luscious grilled Patagonian toothfish from France, which is a worthy entrée alternative.

The world’s first Michelin-starred Korean steakhouse Cote has officially landed in the chic quarters of Como Orchard Singapore. Beyond the classic American steakhouse cuts of filet mignon, ribeye, porterhouse and New York strip, Cote’s offerings also include lesser‑known (but no less delicious) cuts such as hanger steak and flat iron, sourced from Japan and the US. Only the highest grade of Prime Cuts, American Wagyu, and grass-fed Australian beef are selected and dry-aged in-house for a minimum of 45 days for maximum flavour intensity. And complementing the beef is Cote’s proprietary blend, Gastronome’s Salt, composed of British Maldon salt, Celtic sea salt, and Korean thousand-day aged sea salt.

Diners can expect two lavish tasting experiences such as the classic Butcher’s Feast, which includes four cuts of beef served with banchan, egg soufflé, a scallion salad, two types of stew with rice, and soft serve ice cream; and 10-course Steak Omakase, featuring Japanese A5 Miyazaki Wagyu and Petrossian Tsar Imperial Daurenki Caviar, along with beef tartare, banchan, a scallion salad, lettuce wraps, cold noodles, egg soufflé, and soft serve ice cream.

The newly refurbished Skirt at W Singapore is something to behold, with its floor-to-ceiling windows, modern energy laced with rustic charm, and sizzling food menu. Lovers of beef will love its range of steaks, which include free-range grass-fed, Galician, and full-blooded Wagyu options such as A5 Omi Wagyu and David Blackmore’s Rubia Gallega. Every slab comes so perfectly seasoned such that the sauces they come with, including horseradish béarnaise and bordelaise red wine jus, are welcome but not necessary. Don’t forget the dry-aged duck, which is tender and aptly presented with fermented blackberry jus for a dash of acidity.

Named the “world’s greatest butcher” by the New York Times, Dario Cecchini’s Singapore outpost in the Mondrian Duxton delivers authentic Italian food with juicy cuts of steak. Expect classic cuts like the striploin, served here bone-in and made of American 28-day dry-aged beef, or the Australian Black Angus Stockyard ribeye. Each cut is dry-rubbed here with Cecchini’s signature salt, Profumo del Chianti, perfumed by sun-dried herbs. Other delights like Cecchini’s signature steak tartare, seasoned with smoked paprika, olive oil, and lemon for a bright and fresh offering, best eaten with toasted sourdough.

And far from only being a carnivore’s paradise, the food at Bottega di Carna is well-balanced with vegetables. Cold zucchini noodles, for instance, are presented with basil pesto as a refreshing appetiser, while roasted cauliflower counts as one of the mains with spiced honey, almond, thyme and garlic.

While the Italian restaurant has dropped the word ‘steakhouse’ from its name, it doesn’t mean that the steaks are no longer the spotlight. In fact, the culinary team serves an impressive selection of cuts in the a la carte menu which range from the prized T-bone Fiorentina steak from Australia, which was grain-fed for 200 days and dry-aged for 30 days, to popular options such as the Wagyu ribeye, Wagyu bone-in ribeye costata, and Jack’s Creek black Angus tenderloin. Whatever your preferred doneness is—be it medium, medium rare or rare—the culinary team will expertly grill your steak over charcoal for a juicy and smoky finish. Make it a feast by ordering a few sides to share—triple cooked potato fries, charcoal roasted maitake mushrooms, and wild broccolini are just some of the delicious add-ons.

What started as a pop-up restaurant in 2019 by F&B group Proper Concepts Collective has evolved into a brick-and-mortar steakhouse serving its namesake alternative cut, feather blade, or flat iron. It is a cut near the shoulder of the cow, thus, it can be very tough when it’s not cooked properly. Here, the flat iron is first cooked sous vide to tenderise the meat before it’s glazed with herb butter, sprinkled with smoked sea salt, and slapped on the grill for a juicy and smoky finish. Enjoy the steak with the sides as well, among which are the potatoes cooked in beef fat and served with ikura and dill cream, grilled portobello mushrooms drenched in beef fat, and spinach baked in a creamy cheese sauce and crowned with a decadent onsen egg.

As its name suggests, beef takes centrestage at this French-inspired speciality restaurant situated within a restored shophouse in Telok Ayer. The culinary team celebrates the diversity of breeds and cuts, so expect an extensive repertoire of steaks sourced from the US, Japan, Australia and Argentina. Want something juicier and fattier? Opt for the Miyazaki A5 Wagyu from Japan, which is so well marbled it seemingly melts like cotton candy in the mouth. But if you prefer something on the meaty and side, choose the grass-fed black Angus ribeye from Argentina, grain-fed F1 Wagyu from Australia, or Australian black Angus sirloin. The premise of the restaurant is to complement your beed dishes with wines, so enjoy and extensive selection of pours consisting of fine wines from the regions of Burgundy, Bordeaux and Rhone Valley.

Argentina is famous for its steaks and thankfully there's a place where enthusiasts in Singapore can enjoy a proper serving of Argentinean beef. Located in Amoy Street, the Latin American-inspired restaurant is popular for its lunch sets that can be enjoyed in either two or three courses. Steaks here are the grass-fed variety, something that Argentina is well known for, and cooked on the wood-and-charcoal-fired parilla. The restaurant attracts regular visitors who are equally appreciative of its friendly service and cosy ambience so it comes as no surprise that Bochinche remains the go-to choice for those craving a proper piece of steak.

Securing a reservation at this widely popular restaurant may be a challenge but having a memorable gastronomic experience here is almost assured. The show-stopping item of this modern Australian restaurant, which has been winning fans since 2013, is the custom-made grills. The menu changes daily but the beef tenderloin and Blackmore’s cube roll are definite must-try items that will have you craving a return. Over the past year, the restaurant has also unveiled its bakery arm offering various types of bread, scones, tarts, cinnamon rolls and the extremely popular doughnuts. Just like how it is with restaurant reservations, effort is required when nabbing a box of those doughnuts—but it is well worth it.
