These steakhouses in Singapore are ranked among the 101 best in the world for 2026 – guess which?

While it's entirely possible to grill up an excellent steak at home, sometimes the pros just do it better, especially if they've got restaurant-grade, industrial grills that help them achieve the perfect sear. Each year, a list of the world's 101 best steak restaurants is released, crowning the best pitmasters on the planet. And to the surprise of some folks (not us, though), Singapore manages to clinch a couple of spots on the list each time. 

In 2025, four steakhouses in the city were named: Burnt Ends at #5, Bistecca Tuscan Steakhouse at #53, Cut by Wolfgang Puck at #59 and Shatoburian at #66. This year, there has been a slight shake-up in representation. Cut in Marina Bay Sands, the first Asian outpost of the celebrity chef-owned restaurant, has fallen off the list. In its place at #30 is Nikuya Tanaka, a top-rated beef omakase counter from Tokyo, which made its way to Singapore last year. Chef Satoru Tanaka, the third-generation meat maestro and face behind Nikuya Tanaka, hails from an 80-year lineage of wagyu masters – his grandfather was a wagyu broker and his father a wagyu butcher.

Australian-style barbecue restaurant Burnt Ends remains on the list, though dipping a few spots and now sitting at #9. It's an impressive feat nonetheless, especially considering that Burnt Ends is the only restaurant in Asia in the top 10. The heart of its kitchen is a four-tonne dual-cavity wood-fired oven that heats up to 700 degrees celsius, imparting a splendid sear on whatever goes in – it's no surprise that it remains packed out each day. What's surprising, though, is that this is only Burnt Ends' second time on this list despite having been around since 2013. 

Shatoburian and Bistecca Tuscan Steakhouse remain on the list as well, though both have dropped several spots. Shatoburian now stands at #83 while Bistecca Tuscan Steakhouse is ranked #88. The former wet ages its premium A5 wagyu from Japan, all sourced from credible auction houses. Here, you can savour everything from tender chateaubriand to misuji (oyster blade) over sleek tableside grills. Meanwhile, Bistecca has been a household name for years, with the signature 1.1kg Bistecca alla Florentina still winning hearts to this day.
