The eighth edition of this beloved festival transforms Siloso Beach into a smoky paradise where the aroma of flame-kissed meats mingles with ocean breezes. Best of all, admission remains completely free, making it accessible to all food enthusiasts seeking premium grilled delights against Singapore’s most scenic beachfront backdrop.

Five Flavour-Packed Zones to Satisfy Every Craving

Beachside Grills: Ocean Views with Every Bite

The Beachside Grills offer the ultimate dining experience where spectacular seaside views complement exceptional food. Making its GrillFest debut, CHARROU SG presents their signature CHARROU Trio Bao (S$19), featuring crispy golden siu yuk, crystal char siew, and roasted duck nestled in pillowy lotus buns.

Kampung Food Club stands out with their recommended Whole Roasted Aug Wagyu Beef Knuckle (80g) (S$25) and their weekly Special Meat of the Day, while Jett Barbecue showcases their massive custom-built Texas smoker producing premium barbecue offerings.

GrillHouse: Your Interactive Culinary Adventure

The brand-new GrillHouse represents the festival’s pièce de résistance—an immersive dining experience where guests become grill masters using the Ninja Foodi Smart XL Grill with premium ingredients from lyhseafood. This innovative zone offers three distinct experiences:

The Aburi Bar provides luxury dining where premium seafood like Bluefin Tuna Otoro and Swordfish are flame-torched live, Japanese market-style. The Meat Concept features wood-fire roasted crispy skin pig, dry-aged beef, and premium wagyu, while You Pick We Cook allows guests to select their own seafood for chef preparation or self-grilling.

Marketplace: Farm-to-Flame Freshness

The innovative Marketplace zone allows guests to handpick premium fresh ingredients, including the finest cuts of meat, locally farmed seafood, and pesticide-free vegetables. Expert chefs then transform these selections at interactive live stations, creating a true farm-to-flame experience.

In collaboration with the Singapore Food Agency (SFA), Singapore Agro-Food Enterprises Federation (SAFEF), and Seafood Industries Association Singapore (SIAS), PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering showcases how fresh local produce can be transformed into exceptional grilled, steamed, or stir-fried dishes based on diners’ preferences.

Social Mixer Nights: Where Food Meets Connection

Sentosa GrillFest 2025 introduces an exciting new dimension through GrillHouse Social Mixer Nights, a collaboration with Offline Singapore. These exclusive events bring together 160 participants across four gatherings, combining gourmet dining with curated social connections against the backdrop of live music, sizzling grills, and ocean breezes.

This innovative partnership elevates the festival from a purely food-centric gathering into a dynamic social experience, fostering meaningful interactions and expanding its appeal to those seeking both culinary delights and genuine connections.

Premium Seafood Experiences

Seafood enthusiasts will find paradise at Slurp Your Oysters, the People’s Choice Award winner specialising in premium Japanese oysters. Their standout offerings include Mala Mussels with Toasted Garlic French Loaf (S$18) and the innovative Negitoro Pie Tee (S$18).

Monger brings flame-grilled Boston lobsters dripping in garlic butter, while Sea High offers indulgent options like grilled king crab legs and palm-sized scallops that showcase the ocean’s finest catches.

Sustainability and Environmental Responsibility

Sentosa GrillFest 2025 demonstrates strong commitment to environmental responsibility through multiple sustainability initiatives. All vendors must use compostable packaging and cutlery, while single-use plastic bottled beverages are banned from the event.

The festival encourages eco-friendly practices by offering S$5 GrillFest vouchers to the first 50 guests daily who bring reusable utensils, cups, or food containers. Washing stations are available throughout the grounds to facilitate the use of reusables.

The Marketplace zone features furniture crafted by local start-up Staxx from 100% upcycled ocean-bound plastic, comprising 25% of the seating in that area. Clearly labelled recycling stations and on-site composters complete the end-to-end circular economy process.

Enhanced Accessibility and Inclusivity

The festival prioritises inclusivity by reserving 25% of seating areas for wheelchair-friendly access and guests with mobility impairments. Dedicated beach tracks provide smooth, barrier-free access for wheelchair users and families with strollers, ensuring everyone can enjoy the beachfront experience.

Special accessibility guides are available for download to help guests with specific needs navigate to Siloso Beach effectively.
