Sentosa GrillFest 2025 is set to be the biggest edition to date, featuring 39 participating food and beverage brands in five zones and the debut of two exciting new gastronomical experiences from 17 July to 10 August 2025.
Mix, Mingle & Feast by the Beach
This year, the magic of this culinary wonderland extends beyond the delectable spread of artfully curated flavour-forward selections. Taking centre stage is an exciting partnership with Offline Singapore, a homegrown social networking group, for a series of GrillHouse Social Mixer Nights.
Designed to bring 160 people together over four gatherings at GrillFest, participants can look forward to evenings filled with delicious food and engaging social activities to spark vibrant beachfront connections.
This innovative collaboration elevates GrillFest from a food-centric gathering into a dynamic social experience, fostering meaningful interactions against the backdrop of live music, sizzling grills, and ocean breezes.
By blending gourmet dining with curated social connections, GrillFest seeks to create unforgettable moments and expand its appeal to a broader audience seeking both culinary delights and genuine connections.
GrillHouse
(L-R) Burnt Sambal Stingray, Aburi Torched Salmon and Burnt Sambal Lala from lyhseafood
The pièce de resistance of GrillFest 2025 is the GrillHouse, an immersive dining experience that enables guests to become grill masters for a night with Ninja Foodi Smart XL Grill by Ninja Kitchen Singapore and premium ingredients from lyhseafood. There are three different curated platters to choose from, all featuring fresh and premium ingredients for guests to grill at their own pace.
Guests can also enjoy the following experiences:
Aburi Bar – Adding a touch of luxury to the GrillHouse experience is the Aburi Bar, where premium seafood like Bluefin Tuna Otoro and Swordfish will be flame-torched live, Japanese market style.
Meat Concept – Meat lovers can enjoy wood-fire roasted crispy skin pig, dry-aged beef, and premium wagyu, grilled on demand or cooked by guests themselves.
You Pick We Cook – Guests can choose and mix their own seafood and let the chefs grill it to perfection or bring their selections to their table to grill it themselves with Ninja Foodi Smart XL Grill.
Marketplace
Another new addition to the GrillFest experience is Marketplace, where guests can handpick premium fresh ingredients, including the finest cuts of meat, as well as fresh, locally farmed seafood and pesticide-free vegetables.
What sets this experience apart are the interactive live stations, where guests can watch as expert chefs expertly prepare their selected ingredients on the sizzling grill and skilfully carve premium cuts right before their eyes. In addition, there will also be stations that feature fresh local produce such as seafood, mushrooms, and salad greens.
In collaboration with SFA, SAFEF and SIAS, PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering will showcase how fresh seafood and other produce from our local farms can be transformed into exceptional dishes (be it grill, steam or stir fry) based on diners’ choice.
Besides being fresher, local produce contributes to lower food miles, as the produce does not need to travel long distances or for long periods to reach consumers. This is aligned with GrillFest’s strong emphasis on quality produce and environmental responsibility, reflected in our commitment to reducing carbon footprint through partnerships with local farmers.
Partnering with local start-up Staxx, Marketplace will also feature seating made from 100 per cent upcycled ocean-bound plastic for 25 per cent of its seats.
New Flavours, Fresh Formats
This year, GrillFest promises a dynamic mix of familiar favourites and bold new tastes.
From sizzling international flavours at the International Grills to homegrown favourites at the Local Grills, and the opportunity to behold the skilled vendors showcasing culinary skills at the Beachside Grills, there is something for every palate and appetite.
International Grills
A one-stop culinary odyssey across oceans and continents, guests will have the opportunity to taste a variety of exotic global flavours – from smoky Jamaican jerk chicken to tangy Mexican street bites, and much more. New to GrillFest this year, Jamaican Chef Ricardo Allen will be serving up a true taste of Jamaica, Trinidad and the Caribbean isles at Camp Caribbean, and Carnaby by burger maestro Adam Penney will be grilling up mouthwatering burgers and their famed mini Sunday Roast.
Local Grills
Celebrate the best of homegrown talent with 18 of Singapore’s most exciting F&B brands. Expect new entrants such as Sea High, Smokeque and Oud Restaurant who will be joining the GrillFest lineup, serving modern twists on hawker classics to bold new, innovative flavours.
Beachside Grills
Perched along the waterfront, Beachside Grill elevates grilling into a captivating spectacle. Guests can witness and savour displays of culinary skill and techniques, and the irresistible aroma of open flame cooking against a stunning seaside backdrop. Making its GrillFest debut, CHARROU introduces their signature Trio Buns – a tantalising combination of crispy golden siu yuk, crystal char siew, and roasted duck, all nestled in pillowy lotus buns.
Inclusivity
In the spirit of community and inclusivity, 25 per cent of the seating areas within GrillFest will be wheelchair-friendly and reserved for guests with mobility impairments. Festivalgoers are encouraged to offer their table to such guests, if so requested.
GrillFest also ensures accessibility for all guests. While set along the Sentosa beachfront, the event features dedicated beach tracks, providing smooth and barrier-free access for wheelchair users and families with strollers.
Guests with accessibility needs can download the access guide for more details on getting to Siloso Beach.
Sustainability and Responsible Dining
As a large-scale food festival held over four weekends, sustainability remains a cornerstone of GrillFest’s operational ethos.
In alignment with Sentosa Disposables Policy, all vendors are required to use compostable packaging and cutlery, ensuring minimal environmental impact. Single-use plastic bottled beverages will not be available at the event, reinforcing their commitment to a greener future. GrillFest continues to evolve its sustainability practices, having significantly reduced large-format printing in their marketing materials and installed water coolers across the grounds, furthering their vision of creating environmentally conscious events on Sentosa.
Guests who bring reusable utensils, cups, or food containers can redeem a $5 GrillFest voucher, limited to the first 50 redemptions daily. Washing points will be available at the event grounds to facilitate the use of such reusables.
To encourage responsible waste disposal, clearly labelled recycling stations for recyclables, food waste, and general waste are conveniently placed throughout the venue. Going a step further, on site composters will process food waste and compostable packaging in a single stream into compost completing the end-to-end process of circular economy.
