It’s time to get your fill of swimsuits and smoked meats, because from 17 July to 10 August 2025, Siloso Beach will once again be ignited with Sentosa GrillFest 2025! This year, the festival is set to be the biggest edition to date, featuring 39 participating food and beverage brands.
With plenty of opportunities for beachfront dining and bonding against a backdrop of a bustling celebration of sand, sea, and smoky flavour adventures, here’s everything you can experience at the eighth edition of Sentosa GrillFest.
New Flavours, Fresh Formats
As always, Sentosa GrillFest 2025 first and foremost promises a dynamic mix of both familiar favourites and bold new tastes. Whether you’re eyeing the International Grills, Local Grills, or Beachside Grills, there’s something to satisfy every craving, like these red-hot highlights:
International Grills
A one-stop culinary odyssey across oceans and continents, a variety of exotic global flavours are available at the International Grills—from masitda K-BBQ staples to delicioso Mexican street bites.
Making his fiery debut at this year’s GrillFest, Jamaican Chef Ricardo Allen is serving up a true
taste of the West Indies Camp Caribbean. Meanwhile, Carnaby—led by burger maestro Adam Penney is grilling up mouthwatering burgers and their famed mini Sunday Roast, so be sure to swing by and grab a bite before they sell out!
Local Grills
Feast like a king with Sea High’s Grilled King Crab Legs
Over at the Local Grills, celebrate homegrown flavour with 18 of Singapore’s most exciting F&B names, including first-time participants like Sea High, Smokeque, and Oud Restaurant, among others that are bringing their own spin to the festival.
Beyond the fresh faces, Sentosa GrillFest mainstays like Slurp Your Oyster (fresh off their stint at GastroBeats 2025) and Sea High are also here to offer some of the succulent, most indulgent seafood you’ll find. Think mala-licious mussels, palm-sized scallops and royal king crab legs, all without having to cast a line!
Beachside Grills
But if it’s the ocean views you’re after, head straight to the Beachside Grills, where the cooking becomes a captivating spectacle set against the stunning waterfront with savoury displays of culinary skill, the irresistible aroma of open-flame grills, and the soothing sounds of blue waves.
Making its GrillFest debut, CHARROU introduces their signature Trio Buns: a tantalising combo of crispy golden siu yuk, crystal char siew, and roasted duck, all nestled in pillowy lotus buns. Pair that with Qi Xiang Chicken Pot’s tender yet thick chicken dunked in dark soy sauce broth, and wah seh—you’ve got a flame-kissed taste of heritage!
Mix, Mingle & Feast by the Beach
Apart from the classic grills, this year’s Sentosa GrillFest is also mixing things up with a myriad of premium and innovative experiences. Be it in the GrillHouse, Marketplace, or on a Social Mixer Night, expect to bond with friends, family, and even strangers over your shared love for smoked meats.
GrillHouse
Eating isn’t all you can do at Sentosa GrillFest 2025—you can also fire up the grill and cook your own feast at the GrillHouse! This immersive dining experience lets you become a grill master for the night with three curated platters to choose from, all featuring fresh, premium ingredients from LYHseafood for you to grill at your own pace.
Alongside the standard DIY meal, the GrillHouse also offers a myriad of other experiences. For instance, meat lovers can head over to Meat Concept to savour wood-fire roasted crispy skin pig, dry-aged beef, and premium wagyu, all grilled on demand or ready for you to cook yourself.
But if seafood’s more your thing, dive into You Pick, We Cook, where you can mix and match your own platter for the chefs or yourself to grill to perfection. Lastly, for something more indulgent, head to the Aburi Bar, a touch of luxury where premium cuts like bluefin tuna otoro and swordfish are flame-torched live, Japanese market style.
Marketplace
Another new addition to the GrillFest experience is the Marketplace, where you can handpick premium fresh ingredients, including locally-farmed seafood and exceptional cuts of meat, before watching the festival’s skilled chefs transform them into mouth-watering meals right in front of your eyes.
There’ll also be dedicated stations spotlighting fresh local produce like mushrooms and leafy greens, so you’ll be able to enjoy wholesome bites without skimping on your veggies! And in case you’re wondering: yes, everything is pesticide-free!
Last but not least, in collaboration with SFA, SAFEF, and SIAS, PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering will shine a spotlight on local farms by transforming their finest seafood and produce into exceptional dishes—whether grilled, steamed, or stir-fried—all tailored to your choice.
