Singapore turns 61 on Sunday, 9 August 2026 — and because National Day lands on a Sunday, Monday 10 August is a public holiday in lieu, giving most of us a proper three-day long weekend. For meat lovers, this is the SG61 to circle: the big restaurants have gone all-in on premium meat, and you can eat A5 wagyu, yakiniku and steak for far less than usual if you know the catches.

We rounded up the 6 best National Day dining deals for meat lovers in Singapore for 2026, each checked against the brand's own channels: Suki-Ya's A5 Kagoshima Wagyu at $1.88++ a plate, Tajimaya Yakiniku's $61++ Prestige Miyazaki Set (and its $61 buffet flash sale), Barossa Steak & Grill's $6.10 premium add-on, Tonkatsu ENbiton's free truffle fries with a $61 spend, Verandah Rooftop Rotisserie's $61 SG61 heritage brunch buffet, and Dian Xiao Er's free SG61 MerDuck keychain with any herbal roast duck.

A quick reality check before you go: prices below exclude the usual 10% service charge and 9% GST unless marked 'nett', and the two best-value wagyu deals have real conditions — Suki-Ya's $1.88 rate is buffet-linked, first-2-plates-only and capped at 61 plates a day per outlet, while Tajimaya's $61 set and buffet are dine-in only at Great World. On halal: none of these six is MUIS halal-certified (Suki-Ya, Tajimaya, ENbiton and Dian Xiao Er serve pork/non-halal items) — Muslim diners should see our National Day food-deals guide for the halal Permata buffet instead.

How to plan your SG61 meat feast

  • Go early for the $1.88 wagyu — Suki-Ya caps it at just 61 plates a day per outlet, first-come; arrive at opening and ask for it with the Premium buffet.
  • Book the yakiniku — Tajimaya's $61 set and 3–6 August buffet are dine-in only at a single Great World outlet, so reserve ahead.
  • Mind the day-and-time windows — Barossa's $6.10 add-on is VivoCity, Mon–Wed 5–8pm only; Verandah's heritage brunch is one August weekend and you must book by 31 July.
  • Stack the freebies — Tonkatsu ENbiton's truffle fries kick in at a $61 spend, and Dian Xiao Er's MerDuck keychain comes free with any herbal roast duck (till 10 August, while stocks last).
  • Check the SG61 price is really lower — the $61 pricing is a pun; the buffet-linked wagyu is genuinely cheap, but sanity-check plated $61 sets against their normal à la carte cost.

Promos, prices, outlets and end dates change and can be outlet-specific — always confirm the current offer and terms on each brand's official channels before you head down.
