Singapore

Singapore has one of the most varied steak scenes in Asia, with American chophouses and hotel grill rooms alongside shophouse bistros, Argentine grills and Japanese wagyu specialists. Beef comes from the US, Australia, Japan and the UK, and many kitchens dry-age in house.

CUT by Wolfgang Puck at Marina Bay Sands holds a Michelin star. Gordon Grill at Goodwood Park Hotel has carved steaks from its meat trolley since 1963, and Bedrock Bar & Grill near Somerset MRT is known for its pepper steak. Cinder Steakhouse in Seletar serves 45-day dry-aged British Longhorn, and Les Bouchons has served steak frites on Ann Siang Road since 2002.
