"Wood-fire cooking is the speciality of this dark and handsome restaurant within Raffles hotel. Head straight to the tasting menu if you want to experience a variety of top-quality fish and meat dishes, all expertly prepared using American wood and supplemented with Asian flavours. The moodily lit room ensures your gaze never wanders too far from the open kitchen. A restaurant to appeal to the hunter-gatherer in all of us." - Michelin Inspector

Singapore’s new wave of steakhouses to sink your teeth into - SilverKris

"Championing the craft of butchery and wood-fire cooking, Hawaii-born chef Jordan Keao runs a kitchen inspired by hunting, fishing and farming traditions where nothing goes to waste and food celebrates community and nature. Cuts are butchered in-house and used nose-to-tail — hung, dry-aged and sealed in rendered beef fat trimmings before hitting a custom-built wood-fire oven for a smoky, deeply satisfying finish. The chef’s new tasting menu, Imua (Hawaiian for 'moving forward with strength and spirit'), pairs Hawaiian-inspired dishes like a big eye ahi poke tartlet and kalua pork dumplings with a finale of wagyu from Australia’s Blackmore Farms." - Karen Tee

Context - we chose to dine at the restaurant not based on any prior reviews. The hotel was our wedding venue some years ago and since we were revisiting, we just wanted some lunch! Warm and genuine service by Jerome and his team, attentive, deft and purposeful with their movements. The restaurant has a neo classical European bistro vibe infused with a soul soothing music selection straight out of 80s 90s radio, it put me at ease almost immediately. It was a nice gesture by Chef Jordan Keao to come by the table midway through our first plate and introduce himself. The meal was produce driven, visually elegant and light. Flavours were generally refreshing, not overly sauced. Enjoyed the overall contrast of textures that were artfully constructed. The intentional preparation and use of ingredients clearly showcases the distinct Hawaiian melting pot of multi cultural influences. Thank you for a wonderful experience. PS - it was thoroughly enjoyable listening to Tears For Fears Everybody Wants To Rule The World chowing down on that delectably posh beef tartare.

What can I say? I had the most amazing experience here. The staff all knew my name and were the most attentive and knowledgeable about there role. The food was delicious and fantastically presented. They treated me like a celebrity. I was overwhelmed and it was wonderful. They even remembered my birthday and brought me a birthday treat. Would love to come back one day. Outstanding service. Thankyou so much for making my birthday treat special. Highly recommend.

Visited Butcher’s Block recently. Service was warm and attentive — Alberto and the team took good care of us. Food was excellent, we had the spam musubi, 1.1kg wagyu OP rib, house salad, and crispy potatoes. Unfortunately, the experience ended on a disappointing note. After finishing half the OP rib, I requested for the remaining steak to be packed — told the first server, then repeated it clearly to a second server who reassured me it would be done. At the end of the meal, it became clear the steak had been discarded due to a miscommunication. Staff were apologetic and offered complimentary tea while preparing a new portion, but the replacement was only ~150g compared to the 500–600g that was left behind. It was disheartening to see such a premium cut of wagyu go to waste, especially when I had clearly communicated the request twice. I was left wondering why the assumption was made that we would want to discard such a substantial portion of food. That said, the atmosphere, food quality, and the genuine friendliness of the staff made the evening memorable. It was just a bittersweet ending to what otherwise would have been a seamless dining experience.

Wonderful experience at Butchers Block. The service from staff was outstanding and memorable - one of the best we experienced in Singapore. Katherine was very thoughtful and considerate towards our allergies, and the team and chef even prepared a special sauce for us. The team also executed our request to serve a cake well. Food wise we had fish, pork and duck. All were wonderful 🙂 BREAD WAS LEGIT - not featured here as it was devoured too quickly. Gluten free bread option also available.

We had an incredible first visit to Butcher’s Block to celebrate my birthday, and everything exceeded our expectations! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the inviting atmosphere by the team and welcomed by the chef too. We opted for the à la carte menu over the tasting menu and loved every dish we tried, the duck sausage starter, smoked sashimi for sharing, the whole-animal butchery lamb (a unique and delicious experience), and the Australian tenderloin were all outstanding. A huge thank you to Kathleen, Roberto, and the rest of the amazing team (apologies for missing a few names) for taking such great care of us. Special thanks to the pastry chef, I believe it was Chef Felicia — for the beautifully presented complimentary birthday dessert. It was a truly memorable lunch, and we can’t wait to return!✨

We had a good dinner here as part of our stay at the hotel and to celebrate the wife's birthday. We went with the IMUA tasting dinner menu, and liked most of the dishes. Chef Jordan, with his Hawaiian background, has an interesting take on flavours and taste and these are showcased in his dishes. We liked the bluefin tartlet and the laksa pain souffle in the starters, as well as the little bites like Lomi Lomi with the artichoke. The Kalua pork dumpling and Huli-Huli dried aged duck were tasty and well presented. I especially loved the grilled Murray cod, even though I am not a fish person - the dish was excellently executed and the rice congee was superb. The wagyu with the bone marrow custard, English pea puree and chimicurri was also very good. We did wish it was more substantial, especially as the restaurant prides itself on wood-fired meals. The thin slices provided lacked the bite. The missus felt the texture had changed too much from the Koji, and was more like char siu pork rather than beef. Throughout the meal, the staff like Alberto and even Chef Jordan himself came over to describe the dishes and how best to enjoy them. The desserts were okay but we were most impressed with the delicate twill, as well as the garlic pastry crust for the bluefin tartlett. Overall, it was an enjoyable dinner, including watching the team working in the show kitchen.

The food and ambiance were nice, we especially loved the bread! The staff kept checking in with us every time a dish was served. Catherine took the initiative to separate a non-spicy portion for my son, and Kat was very helpful in explaining the dishes. Great service!
