The Best Barbecue in Singapore

A four-tonne, dual-cavity wood-fired oven dominates the open kitchen, and the menu shifts almost daily around whatever the fire suits best. This is a counter-dining barbecue restaurant in Dempsey Hill, where Dave Pynt's open-flame technique draws a direct line from his time at Asador Etxebarri. It holds a Michelin star and a spot on the World's 50 Best list. Counter seats face the grill, keeping the heat and the theatre close.

The custom-built tawa, the hand-built tandoor, and an open fire give the kitchen at this modern Indian restaurant on Tras Street more heat sources than most places have cooks. The sunken open kitchen is the real draw, which is awkward for the much-celebrated silver-and-black dining room behind it. Bold seasonal cooking comes off the woodfire rig in combinations that lean confidently away from tradition. A chef's table rounds things out for those who want a front-row seat to the smoke.
