Butcher's Block
Raffles Singapore's refined wood-fire restaurant with premium produce and live cooking.
Butcher's Block at Raffles Singapore is a wood-fire dining restaurant led by Chef de Cuisine Jordan Keao. The restaurant presents premium meats, seafood and seasonal produce through custom-built ovens and grills in an open kitchen, with techniques that include smoking, slow roasting, high-heat grilling and cooking over embers. Its official page highlights a curated larder, whole-animal butchery, sustainability-minded sourcing and a wine collection of more than 288 labels. The signature IMUA tasting menu is priced as a multi-course lunch or dinner, while the setting inside Raffles Arcade gives it a more polished hotel-restaurant feel than most grill rooms.
Butcher's Block is the most elegant option for diners who want wood-fire cooking without the bustle of a louder steakhouse. The open kitchen and larder give the meal a sense of theatre, and the cooking is strongest when smoke and restraint work together rather than overwhelming the produce. It is more tasting-menu focused than a traditional steakhouse, so diners looking for a simple sirloin, creamed spinach and fries format may find it too structured. For a refined fire-led dinner, it is one of Singapore's best.
Its combination of Raffles service, open-fire technique, serious sourcing and a chef-driven menu makes it one of the most polished grill rooms in Singapore.
