A good steak deal is not just about the price on the menu. The cut of meat, variety of dishes, portion format and dining time all affect whether a meal feels worth the money.
For diners comparing steak options in Singapore, Barossa Steak & Grill at VivoCity offers an advertised 90-minute grill buffet for $58++ per person. Instead of focusing on one steak cut, the menu features five meat options alongside appetisers and sides.
Here's how to assess the value of the buffet before deciding whether it suits your budget and appetite.
Start with the Total Cost, Not Just the Menu Price
Barossa Steak & Grill advertised buffet price is $58++ per person. After the 10% service charge and 9% GST.
That is the figure to use when budgeting for your meal. Optional extras, such as oysters, dessert or beverage packages, will increase the bill if you choose them.
For two diners, the buffet alone comes to approximately $139.08, including service charge and GST, before any extras.
The next question is what you receive for that price.
Five Meat Choices Make Up the Main Attraction
Some steak deals focus on a single cut. Barossa's advertised buffet offers a broader selection, allowing diners to try different meats during the 90-minute session.
The menu includes:
Angus Rib Eye: A classic choice for beef lovers.
Applewood-Smoked St. Louis Pork Ribs: A smoky alternative to steak.
36-Hour Braised Beef Cheek: Slow-braised beef with a tender texture.
Duo of Sausages: A combination of pork and lamb sausages.
Barossa Coquelet: A chicken option for variety.
This selection can be useful when dining with someone who enjoys more than beef alone. Rather than paying for a steak-only meal, you can order from a menu that includes beef, pork, sausages and chicken.
The buffet is served to your table, so you can order as you dine instead of repeatedly visiting a self-service counter.
The Sides Add More Variety to the Meal
The meat selection is only part of the advertised buffet. Accompaniments help make the meal more varied, particularly if you're spending 90 minutes at the table.
| Included menu item | How it complements the meal |
|---|---|
| Sourdough bread with kombu butter | A savoury start to the meal |
| Barossa Spin Spin Salad | A fresher option alongside the meat |
| Hand-cut calamari | A seafood appetiser |
| Tater tots | A potato side |
| Mac and cheese | A creamy, filling accompaniment |
| Coleslaw | A crunchy side |
| Creamy mashed potato | A classic pairing with meat |
| Wild mushrooms | An additional savoury option |
The current listed menu includes tater tots, rather than the unlimited French fries described in older promotional content. It is also best not to assume that older sauces, steak cuts or weekend seafood offerings remain included unless they appear on the latest menu.
What Costs Extra?
If you're comparing the buffet with other steak promotions, check whether extras are included in the headline price. Barossa's advertised menu lists several optional add-ons:
Fresh Australian market oysters: $15 per person.
Dessert add-on: $6 per person, with caramel flan and ice cream of the day listed.
House-pour white and red wine: $39 per person.
Prosecco and Bellinis: $19 per person.
Combined wine and Prosecco/Bellinis package: $49 per person.
These additions are not part of the base $58++ buffet price. If you're primarily interested in steak and sides, you can budget around the buffet itself. If you plan to add drinks, seafood or dessert, account for those separately.
