Sure, there are plenty of beef-centric eateries all over Singapore, all of which are constantly beefing themselves up to gain an advantage over their competitors. With so many variety of beef dishes available, sometimes all we want is just a comforting dish of Steak Frites – steak with fries for the colloquial speak.
It’s a beloved french classic and a staple at western stores in coffee shops here, yet this deceivingly simple dish makes it all that more harder to pull off and have it taste good. Fret not, here is our Guide on where to find Steak Frites in Singapore.
BAR – ROQUE GRILL
Helmed by Alsatian chef Stephane Istel, Bar-Roque Grill doles out fantastic grilled meats. They use organic dry-aged rib-eye steaks, in which with the moisture drawn out gives a much more intense flavour and a meatier texture. They’re served alongside a generous serving of skinny fries too.

BRASSERIE GAVROCHE
Here at Brasserie Gavroche, you can expect thick cuts of meat as the Chef-owner prefers thick ribeye cuts for their fat content and flavour to give that perfect medium rare. The slight crust on the steak contrasts perfectly with the crispiness of their shoestring french fries.

COLLIN’S
If you plan on dropping by Collin’s for a meal over the weekend, do not be daunted by the long queues snaking outside the restaurant because a little waiting is worth it for their 120g Mishima Wagyu Steak-Frites which is a slab of Wagyu steak seasoned with salt and black pepper is served with sweet potato fries and truffle sauce.

COMO CUISINE
Como Cuisine uses aged rump steak from Hunter Valley all the way in Australia, and then served with a disc of homemade butter that melts from the residual heat of the steak. The resultant combined flavour profile lingers pleasantly on the roof of your mouth, allowing for prolonged enjoyment when you chew on their thick cut fries.

FRESH FRUITS LABS
Cafes are usually not known for their steaks, but FFL’s Angus Rib Eye is definitely worth its price. It’s a genuine 250gm of Angus rib-eye that’s tender and soft, with the perfect amount of chew before easily sliding down your throat. It’s also served alongside thin-cut truffle fries instead of your regular fries.

L’ENTRECOTE THE FRIES AND STEAK BISTRO
L’Entrecote follows a Parisian concept that was started in the 1930s, where only one main, the E’entrecote steak is served. The thin slices of beef are complemented with a fresh walnut salad and free flow crispy golden French fries. As they have a no-reservation policy, do head down early to grab a table.

LUKE’S OYSTER BAR AND CHOP HOUSE
Helmed by Chef Travis Masiero, Luke’s is a classy and upmarket chophouse, the sort of restaurant that you will find in New York. During lunch, they offer their classic Steak and Fries that’s perfectly grilled on-the-spot for that perfect medium rare. Though prices are steep, it’s well worth a special occasion.

MEAT N’ CHILL
Meat N’ Chill is considered one of the best values for their meat. Located along Bukit Timah Road, it’s slightly out of the way but makes for a worthwhile trip as their New York Strip(500gm) is only $35. There’s a limited quantity available each day due to the tedious preparation process. Served along straight-cut fries and one more side dish of your choice, it’s bang for the buck.
