Whisking steak lovers away to the OG chophouses of early century New York, The Astor Grill pop-up at The St. Regis Singapore takes over the grand space of French fine-dining restaurant Brasserie Les Saveurs. And the steak experience is nothing short of a ceremonious affair; each course begins with a series of artisanal homemade bread paired with premium extra virgin olive oil and accompaniments of smoke-kissed amuse-bouche.
But the star of the show has got to be the steaks, where prime cuts from heritage cattle breeds of America and Australia are prepared on a custom-built parilla grill. The former is USDA-certified 200-day corn-fed Angus Prime from one of America’s longest-standing premium Angus farms, Harris Ranch. The latter is an Aussie 200-day barley-fed Aberdeen Pure Black, known for its exquisite marbling and improved tenderness.
For the ultimate indulgence, there is the unparalleled 600-day grain-fed Kagoshima Wagyu by exclusive Wagyu producers of the revered Satsuma Gyu Presentation group. Large groups can also look forward to show-stopping sharing portions such as the 1.4kg Australian grass-fed Angus tomahawk and the butcher’s platter that comes with striploin, Wagyu skirt steak and rump cap. There are also exclusive cuts that will be featured on a monthly basis for added variety.
The opulence doesn’t stop there – specialty desserts and bespoke martinis are also available at a snap of a finger. While most steakhouse experiences might come with a hefty price tag, the Astor Grill pop-up doesn't gatekeep this exclusive experience. Instead, everyone is invited to luxuriate in the grand atmosphere with an accessible three-course lunch ($48) that happens only on weekdays.
