Best beef and meat pies in Singapore

Beef pies are the gap in Singapore’s pie scene. The heartland bakery tradition is built on chicken, and many bakeries never added beef at all. The result is that a good meat pie is something you hunt for. This guide does the hunting; for the overall ranking across every style, see the Pie List of the best pies in Singapore.

What counts as a meat pie?

In this guide a meat pie means a savoury pie built around beef or other red meat: the Australian mince-and-gravy pie, the British steak pie, and local takes such as beef rendang or goulash. Shepherd’s and cottage pies, which are topped with mashed potato rather than pastry, have their own guide.

Aussie meat pie, steak pie or local beef pie?

These three are different foods, and knowing which one you want saves disappointment.

1. The Australian meat pie is a hand-held snack: minced beef in thick, glossy gravy inside a sturdy base with a flaky lid, traditionally eaten with tomato sauce. It should be hot enough to burn your tongue.
2. The British steak pie is dinner: chunks of braised beef in ale or red wine gravy under a puff or short pastry lid, served with mash, peas or chips.
3. The local beef pie borrows the format and changes the filling. Beef rendang and black pepper beef are the obvious Singapore flavours; goulash brings a Central European spice profile.

Where are the Christmas mince pies with real meat?

Mince pies were originally made with meat, and Burnt Ends Bakery in Dempsey still makes them that way: beef with orange, apple and cinnamon, sold in boxes of six ($36 in 2025) for Christmas. They are sweet-savoury and seasonal, and we cover them in our party and festive pies guide.

Tips for buying a beef pie in Singapore

• Order ahead for specialist pies. Online pie makers often need a day or more of notice. Don Pie Shop’s notes on beef and steak pies in Singapore are a useful second opinion on styles and prices.
• Freeze extras on the day. A beef pie freezes well for up to about three months; reheat until piping hot throughout.
• Check halal status carefully. Pub pies and many cafe pies are not halal, and “halal-friendly” is not the same as certified. See our halal pies guide.
