Butcher’s Block opened in 2019 as part of a major renovation of Raffles Hotel Singapore. The restaurant located at the second level of Raffles Arcade – at the opposite end from where yi by Jereme Leung is located – used to be the more colonial-looking Long Bar Steakhouse. While that establishment and its accompanying look is no more, the iconic luxury hotel has replaced it with another steakhouse. That being said, the overall look and feel of Butcher’s Block is probably everything that Long Bar Steakhouse was not. The interiors are dark and rather masculine, with a rather special shade of blue permeating the space followed by golden metallic panels right by the open kitchen. In the dining area, one can find plenty of glass while the cream-colored leather seats are probably the only light-colored items one can find inside the establishment.

The dark and masculine vibe of Butcher’s Block readily typecasts the restaurant as a dinner venue. In some ways, that seems to be the case. The restaurant is open for lunch only on Saturdays and Sundays and in the past, diners could not even access their specialty grills if they come in the day. That has now changed with Butcher’s Block recently revamped weekend lunch menu.
