Look forward to bold new flavours, an elevated beachfront atmosphere, and first-ever dining concepts co-curated with the Singapore Chefs’ Association (SCA), all in a festival that welcomes guests of every kind, pets included. There will be three mainstay vendors — Sentosa Golf Club, R&B Grill Bar, and ASAP & CO. They anchor the experience across all four weekends, while a rotating guest vendor slot brings fresh faces to the menu each week.

Omakase-Inspired Chef’s Grill

Making its debut this year is Chef’s Grill, Sentosa GrillFest’s first-ever eight-course omakase-inspired style beachfront dining experience, created in collaboration with SCA. Held in an air-conditioned tent with premium chinaware, the format gives diners a close look at live-fire techniques from a curated roster of Singapore chefs. They will also serve as the closing platform for the inaugural Singapore Chef Festival.

Marketplace by Indoguna 

This year’s edition places a sharper focus on local sourcing and sustainable produce, with a curated selection of ingredients that champion responsible food choices without compromising on quality. Returning in an elevated format this year is Marketplace, developed in collaboration with Indoguna, a leading premium food importer and distributor in Singapore.

Drawing the eyes of all who enter is a central chiller display, where guests can browse and select fresh meats, seafood, vegetables, and gourmet items before watching them be cooked to order at themed grill-and-serve stalls. 

A retail section carries artisanal products, sauces, spices and ready-to-cook selections for guests who want to take part in the Sentosa GrillFest experience at home. 

And for those looking to capture the memories, the aura-reading photobooth is the perfect spot to snap share-worthy moments with friends. 

Sunset Lounge by Asahi 

As the sun dips below the horizon, the Sunset Lounge by Asahi sets the scene for golden hour gatherings by the sea. Guests can ease into the evening at this dedicated beachfront bar experience. It will be positioned as a standalone wind-down spot between the afternoon and evening sessions with DJ programming and live band performances. 

Vendor Line-up for Every Palate  

Beyond the new concepts, Sentosa GrillFest 2026 brings back three beloved zones: Local Grills, International Grills and Beachside Grills. 

Local Grills

Craft’B, known for its NETFLIX & AFN featured Steak & Fries (S$22), returns alongside Slurp Your Oysters, serving freshly shucked oysters sourced directly from Murotsu Bay in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan. 

Also back is DAMN, winner of Sentosa GrillFest’s People’s Choice Award in 2025, bringing their sold-out Dry Aged Beef Burger (S$25) and Ribeye Skewer (S$26).

Joining them are new additions such as My Cow Bae, known for their Signature Shio Kombu Beef Cubes (S$22).

International Grills

International Grills takes guests on a culinary journey across the globe, from Korean BBQ at Hanok Kimchi and Japanese flame-torched Mentaiko Wagyu Beef bowls at Gyushi, to the bold smoky flavours of BBQ Box. 

Joining them this year is Umi Matsuri, bringing the Japanese art of robatayaki grilling to the beachfront with menu items such as King Tiger Prawns (S$25). 

Another new entrant is 8 Degree Taiwanese Bistro, serving iconic Taiwanese night market classic 大肠包小肠 (Taiwan sausage with sticky rice). 

ChillBro (冷仔) rounds off the meal with Campfire Nanas (S$15) — grilled banana topped with chocolate ice cream and chocolate sauce. 

Perched along the waterfront, Beachside Grills serves up open-flame cooking against the backdrop of Siloso Beach. New this year is Smokin’ Joe, bringing elevated options with their Australian Wagyu ribeye.

Returning favourites include Jett BBQ, beloved for its dinosaur ribs, and Smok Hous, known for its Texas-style barbecue.

Entertainment 

ZIP4, a Korean jazz band, will kick off on the first Sunday (26 July 2026) and will take the stage at 7pm in partnership with the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Singapore.

Sustainability

For the first time, the air-conditioned Chef’s Grill pavilion and beachfront festival lighting will be powered by battery and solar energy, reducing the festival’s reliance on conventional power sources and reducing its carbon footprint. 

Continuing commitments include the reduction of single-use disposables across the festival grounds, with all vendors required to use compostable packaging and cutlery in line with  Sentosa’s Disposables Policy.  

Accessibility 

Sentosa GrillFest continues to provide dedicated beach tracks for wheelchair users and families with strollers, with priority seating available for guests with mobility needs throughout the festival grounds.
