Every year from mid-July through early August, Siloso Beach transforms into Singapore biggest beachfront food festival as Sentosa GrillFest brings together over 35 local and international vendors for a celebration of live-fire grilling. Running across four weekends with completely free entry, this culinary extravaganza operates from 4pm to 10:30pm daily, featuring five distinct themed zones including Local Grills, International Grills, Beachside Grills, GrillHouse, and Marketplace. The festival has become a must-visit destination for food enthusiasts seeking everything from traditional charcoal-roasted meats to innovative fusion creations, all served against the backdrop of stunning beach sunsets.
The 2025 edition showcases an impressive lineup of 39 brands offering flame-kissed specialties that span the globe. Local favourites include Meng Meng Roasted Duck from Johor Bahru with their signature charcoal roasted duck, crackling roasted pork, and thickly glazed char siew, while CHARROU delights with their Charrou Trio Buns featuring honey crystal char siew, crispy roasted pork, and duck it and wrap it variations. Seafood lovers flock to Mongers for their Grilled Boston Lobster and Wild Tide for unagi kabayaki with ikura, featuring grilled eel topped with plump salmon roe. International highlights include Jett Barbecue American-style Smoked Beef Cheek Tacos prepared over 8 to 12 hours in a Texas-made smoker, and NBCB Grilled Wagyu Cheeseburger with a 180g Wagyu patty and house-made truffle mayo.
The festival atmosphere captures the distinctly Singaporean love for communal dining while embracing global flavours, with reviews praising the variety, cool beachside vibes, and quality of offerings from vendors like the highly acclaimed Jett Barbecue. Whether you are sampling thick-cut Western steaks, authentic Asian barbecue, or creative fusion dishes, Sentosa GrillFest delivers an unforgettable culinary journey that celebrates the universal appeal of perfectly grilled food in a uniquely island setting. The combination of free admission, diverse food options, and stunning beachfront location makes this annual event essential for anyone seeking to experience Singapore vibrant food culture at its finest.

As expected, #GrillFest is #OverHyped; long queues, food is over priced, taste and quality is average at best. If you are here mainly for the atmosphere, then it's not bad. The #Steak is hard like rock!! 👎🏻

Crazy crowded on the weekend - my experience was long queues for virtually all stalls, below average portion sizes and flavours with close to restaurant dine in prices. The worst of both worlds, high priced hawker centre. Alcohol is even more of a rip-off.
My advice - just pay a little more and go the original restaurants like Brewerkz for better experience (draft 🍻, 🍷 in a GLASS) and aircon. For hawker food like satay, just go your neighborhood hawker instead. Satay or moo ping is going at 3-4 bucks a stick, while 100grams of beef cubes is $12.

Not enough special or unusual chicken/fish options for the price. More beef and pork options.
Expect to spend $17 or more for a regular-sized plate of anything except fries/drinks. Must go with big wallet and share food otherwise can't try much. Some food ordinary but expensive.

Went there last Saturday and it was marvelous, lotsa crows, lotsa food to choose from. You can grab your favourite grill dishes and a can of beer and just enjoy the scenery and vibes there, table outside with huge fans blowing at you to cool yourself while eating there.

Sentosa GrillFest is perfect for foodies and beach lovers alike. Whether you’re on a date, out with friends, or enjoying a family night out, it’s an experience full of flavour and fun. Just come hungry—and maybe bring a picnic mat too!

Grill Fest 2025 is full of smokey BBQs! Nice place to chill and vibe. There are quite a number of offers on the Sentosa app as well.
Plenty of stalls here in Sentosa Grill Fest 2023. Make sure you visit the roadside stalls as well, other than the beach ones. The meatsmith cheese burger is good, just a little too small for the prize. Jett barbecue ribs is also good, but again 2 pieces of meat for $21 is too much.

Had a great time. First time to grill fest. Considering the recent inflation I feel the price thou high, was understandable. Foods quality was good. Vibes was amazing. I still got 2 months to try out other stuff. Highly recommended.

Wroth a visit to try out the many grill item. My personal frav is
1) MSW creme brulee ($9)
2) Jett barbecue ($19) - other than the food, the chef is super friendly, he chat with us and even show us the smoker.
3) craft beer - there’s Nutella stout which I’ve yet to try.
