Burnt Ends

great experience. great staff and very attentive service. the setting is wonderfully rustic and stylish. the kitchen counter seats look like huge fun. the wine list is nearly 100% australian treasures: if you stay away from the elite bottling, the list is very fairly priced. the wine staff is very well versed in the list and offerings. the food is outstanding. - the chicken necks are a winner. - the pork chops are large, 1/2 kilo+. it is beautifully marbled but maybe a tad too fatty, given the need to cook the pork chop carefully to pink, the grill doesn’t fully render or char the fat. we ended up spending nearly $300 sgd for it…a bit pricey. - the denver steak was beautifully done and fulfilling at 250 grams. net net: really glad we went. had a fabulous flawless meal. given the price, however, not sure we will be back for a while.

I was very excited to dine here given my good friend has been suggesting it for the past few years and my travel to Singapore is rare. Well, I got the chance this past week due to business travel. I luckily secured a spot at the cocktail bar which I think is the best approach for last minute reservations. I found a spot the same day. I was disappointed overall in the food. It wasn’t bad, it was actually good but not to the level I was expecting. I had expected tasting dishes that were unique in both taste and appearance. Unfortunately the appearance was good and the taste was also good, but not great. The one great dish was the raw beef tartare. It was truly different from any flavors I have ever had. The beef marmalade which was my friends suggestion was good, but I’ve tasted it before and so were many of the other dishes. I’m not saying this isn’t a great place to dine, I was just hoping for more given all the hype and was told it would be difficult to get a reservation. Nonetheless, I would recommend coming especially for their cocktails. I had a wonderful Espresso Martini and a Halo Halo which were both unique and not too sweet.

writing this as i’m still literally at the restaurant still. the food was spectacular, every bite an explosion of flavour. i think it’s quite clear to most people how fantastic the food is; exciting, elegant, and delicious. but i wanted to highlight the alcohol programme. aldrich the senior bartender really locked in our experience for us. we are wine people but surprisingly the cocktails took our breaths away and paired fantayscially well with the food. the old fashioned (beef fat washed just that morning) with the beef marmalade toast blew our minds. please ask for aldrich and check out his cocktails!! he genuinely is so passionate about designing an invigorating, creative and tasty cocktail menu. the wine list was confidently, lovingly australian with the exception of selected champagne list. alex the senior somm provided a delicious selection of choices, and we landed on a bottle we really enjoyed. most of all he was a total joy throughout!! basically food was fantastic and the alcohol programme + alcohol team really gilded the experience beyond.

Had a wonderful dining experience at Burnt Ends. The food was absolutely excellent — beautifully cooked, full of flavour, and with that distinctive smoky, charred character that makes their open-fire cooking so special. Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, and it was clear that a lot of attention goes into the ingredients and cooking. The service was also excellent — attentive and warm without being intrusive. I particularly loved the atmosphere. The open kitchen and huge wood-fired oven are really the centrepiece of the restaurant, giving the space a sense of energy and theatre. The warm wood, industrial touches, soft lighting and contemporary décor create a setting that feels both stylish and relaxed. It’s lively and vibrant without feeling overly formal, which suits the food perfectly. Overall, Burnt Ends is much more than just a great barbecue restaurant — it’s a complete dining experience, from the food and open-fire cooking to the service and atmosphere. Definitely one of those places that is worth experiencing in Singapore.

Finally able to secure a reservation for 2 after several attempts before regular Singapore visits. As expected, an amazing experience from the tuned in staff to some of the best prepared wood fire oven beef cuts ever tried, along with a variety of other original inspired starters and sides. Recommend a counter seat for the best experience.

Burnt Ends lives up to the hype, so if you can grab a table I’ll absolutely recommend you to do it. We really enjoyed everything we ordered. The flavours are decadent and rich but never overwhelming, which let us keep going. Between the 2 of us we worked through 7-8 small plates and one main, and still walked away perfectly full. The standouts I’m still thinking about the next day: leek, hazelnut and black truffle; the steak, quite possibly my favourite in the city; beef marmalade; bone marrow bun; grissini with taramasalata; sourdough; and grilled marshmallow, which is nothing like you’d imagine. A few extra things that made it special: sitting at the counter and watching the open kitchen in full swing added so much to the experience. Can’t recommend this place enough. Already thinking about my next visit.

Incredible restaurant with amazing service! We dined at Burnt Ends in the cocktail lounge and couldn’t recommend it more. The food was delicious. So much so that we re-ordered the chicken tandoori. We got the chance to speak to the team and loved hearing their stories! Thanks for an amazing experience and can’t wait to recommend it to our friends and family.

Service is exceptional and the space is beautiful, elegant yet comfortable. Unfortunately, the food did not live up to expectations and we were underwhelmed throughout the course. We got the Bar Classics for 2pax with an additional tenderloin. The best thing that night was the grissini and tenderloin. Dont get me wrong. I think the food were delicious. But they are not as good or as unique as we thought it would be.
