These days, plenty of steak lovers will tell you they’d rather fire up a ribeye at home – it’s cheaper, faster, and (they swear) just as tasty. But while home-cooked steaks have their place for fuss-free nights in, several steakhouses in Singapore are making a case for why some experiences are simply worth leaving the house for.
In fact, four Singapore steakhouses have just been named among the World’s 101 Best Steak Restaurants for 2025. From prime cuts seared to smoky perfection, to luxe dining rooms that make you want to linger, these steakhouses prove that sometimes, the pros really do it best.
Coming in at the highest spot among other Singapore restaurants on the list is Burnt Ends at #5, an award-winning Australian barbecue joint by chef Dave Pynt, located in Dempsey Hill. The heart of the kitchen is the four-tonne dual cavity wood-fired oven that heats up to 700 degrees celsius, imparting a splendid sear on whatever goes in – a feat you won’t achieve in a home kitchen.
The restaurant is no stranger to other global lists of equal prestige, claiming spots in Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2025, La Liste’s Top 1000 Restaurants 2025, and so on. What’s surprising is that it’s Burnt Ends’ first time on this list despite having been around since 2013. In any case, the fact that it’s the highest new entry on the ranking makes up for it.
Sitting at #53 is Bistecca Tuscan Steakhouse, which is a returning entry on the list, and in fact, the only steakhouse in Singapore that made it on the ranking last year. It also clinched the title of the best steakhouse in Asia in 2024. A must-order here is the Bistecca alla Fiorentina, a 1.1 kilogramme behemoth of pure-bred F1 Australian wagyu – great for sharing on special occasions.
Not too far at #59 is a recognised name in Singapore’s F&B scene. Cut by Wolfgang Puck is the first Asian outpost of the celebrity-owned brand, set in the cushy environment of Marina Bay Sands. If Bistecca oozes the vibe of a cosy Italian trattoria, Cut’s modern dining room is where to go if you’re truly looking to impress.
Beyond branding, its claim to fame is an extensive meat selection, ranging from Hokkaido snow beef to Snake River Farms American ‘Kobe-style’ beef. Everything is seared over charcoal and apple wood, before meeting its maker under a 1200-degree broiler.
Last but not least, an unlikely new entry to the list is Shatoburian, a yakiniku restaurant tucked in Palais Renaissance at Orchard Road. The joint wet ages its premium A5 wagyu from Japan, which are all sourced from credible auction houses. Here’s where to savour everything from tender chateaubriand (the cut the restaurant is named after) to misuji (oyster blade) coaxed over flames at sleek tableside grills.
