Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or looking to satisfy your meat-lover cravings, you can never go wrong with a perfectly marbled steak. 

Finding a restaurant in Singapore isn’t difficult with the island’s plethora of steakhouses, but with steaks costing a pretty penny, we get that you’ll want to only spend your dollar at the places that matter. 

We’ve compiled a list of steak restaurants in Singapore that are a cut above the rest, from classic French bistros such as L’entrecote The Steak & Fries Bistro to more contemporary spots such as Cut by Wolfgang Puck and Boeuf — here are our picks of some of the best steak restaurants in Singapore:

Why visit? Located a stone’s throw away from Tanjong Pagar MRT station, L’entrecote The Steak and Fries Bistro boasts a rich history dating back to the 1930s in Paris — its founding chef Boubier crafted L’entrecote’s original butter-based sauce, a signature which remains the cornerstone of the global L’entrecote franchise today.

This beloved Parisian culinary gem first made its debut on local shores more than a decade ago and has since been recreating the timeless flavours of France right here in Singapore.

Crowd favourites: While the L’entrecote menu boasts an array of sides, the crown jewel of the menu is their eponymous staple main course, the famous trimmed L’entrecote steak (S$48.80). Expect its traditional butter sauce generously poured over tender sliced steak, accompanied by free-flow crispy golden fries and a simple green salad tossed with walnuts.

Why visit? One of Singapore’s few Muslim-owned steakhouses, Asap & Co offers a casual yet stylish dining experience with a menu featuring high-quality steaks and modern European cuisine. Contrary to popular belief, the “ASAP” in ASAP & Co does not mean “as soon as possible”, but in fact, it translates to “asap”, the Malay word for “smoke”.

Here, cuts are cooked by smoking, imbuing each steak with a charred smoky flavour. However, as smoking is a relatively slow and lower-temperature cooking method, diners are advised to pre-order their meals ahead of time to ensure an efficient dining experience.
